    Errr....Burnley's in Lancashire, innit? :D

    Perhaps someone secretly knows that A380s will be banned from using Gatwick Airport....! :)

    Personally I'll be bloody amazed if they ever manage to get the thing off the ground in the first place - it's one helluvan ugly lump of an aircraft if you ask me....

    Regards,

    Jon

    Think the one you're thinking of might be when GNER decided to hire 2 or 3 Eurostar sets for the London-Edinburgh run.

    JonR - It's not as ugly as, nor as big nor heavy as the Antonov AN225, which has been flying around the world doing heavy-lift since the 1980s. It will fly.

    Funny you should say that, Isaac, I was thinking of an Antonov-type aircraft when I wrote my last post!

    I was in engineering and marketing. I was the director of a company that made induction heating generators, mostly for the welding of tube and pipe - 200kW plus of valve power. :eek: The company was taken over and I found myself surplus to requirements. I had been building speakers as a hobby, so...[/QUOTE]

    Fair play for making a business out of it :MILD:


    Dingles come from yorkshire.


    No bloody plane looks like it should leave the ground, its just not natural.

    He he he - reminds me of that Bond film (which one is it!?) with the chopper that blows up, and the two guys - "If God had wanted us to fly, Mr Whit, he'd have given us wings" or summat like that :)

    Ian - you're probably right - but why couldn't they hire IC125s or something that's KNOWN compatible???

    Dom,

    I believe you're referring to the two assassins/gay lovers (!), Mr Kidd and Mr Wint, in Diamonds Are Forever!

    For the record, of course :)

    Cheers,

    Jon

    Can I remind you all that whilst these jokes are very funny, we musn't poke fun at the cheese eating surrender monkeys across the channel :D

    They have been responsible for many great things, wine and food especially, they have shown their appreciation for modern culture by giving that pinnacle of American culture Mickey Mouse a home, and lead the way in both public holidays, and creative reasons to strike.

    The French we salute you :kneel:

    Lordsummit - bringing us full circle back to the magnificent (as in achievement. I accept that it isn't the greatest looker) Airbus A380, which is partially French.
