  • Registered Users Posts: 8,925 ✭✭✭GM228

    It is indeed sad that this beautiful feat of engineering will never fly again.
    The Monsignior could never have imagined it......

    They needn't be expecting the logistics of Charles De Gaulle, it's a big field.. Throw her down in the corner :D

    The engines are worth way more as a full operational unit than they would be in spares. The reason is their age. If it was 15-20 years old yes worth more as spares, being 10 years old then the ability to place it on a wing overnight.
    Would be nice then if one of the Beluga transporters was sent to collect the engines. I think I'd take a day off to see one of them. Or will they be transported by land?

    Field is a bit strong a term. It's a flat top on a hill! :D

    Geez, this isn't a Concorde or a space shuttle. Just book a holiday that involves flying on one and then you get more than just a look.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,083 ✭✭✭spakman


    Is Jim Fahey there reporting? ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,063 ✭✭✭prunudo


    Some people travelling on the N5 will get a nice surprise.

    I think they usually go by lorry, but they can also be bolted onto the wing of another plane - but that is not the norm.

    And she's landed.
