Hiya. Dad is doing a good job of keeping me fed and had another good sleep last night. I don't do 'helpless' very well - or slow - but am forced to it.
will at least be able to continue the air museum posts as minimum words required and just click and drop entry. Da Phenny's mama commented about Concorde ending in a big bang - the fault lay not with the aircraft but with debris on the runway... the flight equivalent of the YAMster's broken paw, only with rather more serious consequences, 113 dead. It was the only problem had with the Concorde, but by 2003 it was withdrawn from service, post '9/11' having affected world travel generally and it no longer being financially viable. Not to mention the growing concern re the environmental impact and noise levels. Like swans, her voice was not pretty.

The Boeing 707.
Have fond memories of flying on this aircraft. It was either this or the less comfy DC-9 out to Nigeria and back, (within Nigeria, it was the twin prop Fokker 'Friendship',,, a not very friendly plane at all! Pink string, sealing wax, bring your own wings. Packed lunch too, if you wanted to avoid the highly suspect sardine sandwiches.
Five seats in the cramped cockpit; not all versions of the craft had this configuration.
