Are these the pretensioned structures provided by Arena Structres? Theres a photo of an aircraft in one of their tents in their latest newsletter http://www.arenagroup.com/images/pdf..._autumn_07.pdf

They can create some amazing structures with these, every year they erect one for the Scientolgists which is visible from the other side of the valley and is larger than their manor house!

Swiss Avro HB-IYU is in service again, saw it today in ZRH bound for DUS.

hard landing LCY
 

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']would this be classified under "hard landing", so will this need an inspection?[/FONT]

Yep, that's a hard landing, and for an RJ/146 it's a shocker.

I have a feeling that is the a/c that was so badly damaged by that particular landing it had to be removed from LCY by barge as it was considered unfit to fly and couldn't be repaired in situ.

Standing by to be corrected, naturally.

the youtube clip shows a swiss a/c
the above chap says it was BA

anyone fly into london city airport on 22nd feb?
 

I saw a BAe 146 perform a Go-around at London city on the 22 february at 17:45:26. It was an SAS airlines. Anyone on board / see this as well?

cheers, lambo_guy08

A318?
 

i have heard that BA will use A318s out of LCY to KJFK-(is this possible?)-might have been what you saw.

Yes it is possible but with a tech stop for fuel enroute, as the LCY runway not long enough to lift out the weight required to non-stop to New York.

re - the Tented 146 - As I understand it she was repaired barged back across the dock and flew out in mid December and is now back in service :)
Also it wasnt the one which almost crashed onto the runway in the youtube clip. The rj which was in the tent was wearing Star Alliance colours.

I'm not sure where your restaurant is, but a helicopter touches down daily somewhere between Aldgate and Canary Wharf (I see it from my Aldgate office window) - might well be that you're seeing, and the distance is hard to see?
