So, your 15 minutes of fame will
have to wait, then?????????

Aw, SHUCKS!!!!!!!!

Danf.

[RLN]

Let us know when it's on, won't you?

[Gaz]

Danf: I'm still claiming it! My name will be on the credits


Martyn: Oh yes, I'll be shouting it from the rooftops

[RLN]

So long as you don't go all diva on us.

[Gaz]

Just put a BIG star on my front door

[RLN]

[Gaz]

It WON'T go to my head!!








Daaaarling!

[Jigsaw]

Would be great if this stirs more interest in your gal Gaz. Good luck with it and thanks once again for the updates

[Gaz]

Just a quick note to say that www.superguppy.co.uk has just gone past 11,000 hits!

I continue to be flabbergasted by the interest in the old girl!!

[Sickbag_andy]

When are they filming, or is it too early to say?

I don't think they're coming to film the guppy. They just wanted permission to use my photos/videos. She said it will air early in the new year

I just fell of my chair - thought that said 'she will be in the air early in the new year'

amazing how quickly the latest 1000 hits has come round, seems only a few weeks ago we were celebrating 10000. excellent interest in her

[Gaz]

The update will be with you shortly, sir.

Just waiting for numbnuts to write his blurb

[Sickbag_andy]

okay, will prepare myself for doing the update.

[MOD]

Gaz and Andy. Don't forget there are quite a few people, like myself, who get their updates here now and don't visit http://www.superguppy.co.uk as often as we perhaps should.

Gaz any news re moving BTGV to a more (photogenic) spot?

I would so love to see her move under her own power - but I guess that will never happen.

Well done to all the guys there ... for at least giving us another Iconic Aircraft to photograph...

David Walton has said that we are having our own pan custom made. That patch of grass by the gate (Where the mystere is currently parked, but, has housed the green jag in recent times) will be our permanent home. Big enough so we can get the lift to all parts of the aircraft and with it's own power supply.

HOWEVER, Dave (and god knows I love the fella!!) says a lot of things. I really do hope it comes off though!

[Sickbag_andy]

Ah, but if you don't visit the site you won't see all my gimmicky roll over images etc!

I was wondering with the next update (must do soon) if I should include a few quotes posted by visitors to Brunty, anyone said anything nice about her that I could use?

[MOD]

Wow so F-BTGV will be Brunties 'Gate Guardian'.

Get DW to sign up here !!! So he can see just how popular BTGV really is - globally

[Sickbag_andy]

ooops , a bit of an overlap of posts there. my comment was in response to Ian about people who dont visit the website.

anyway great news about the gate guardian bit. that will make a few heads turn

We get A LOT of "I can't believe this ever flew!" , "So, what did it carry?" , "It's like a cathedral" and, my personal favourite, "Bloody hell!"

do you have a visitors' book for people to sign and comment ( and ask for their e-mail addresses so that you can send them updates)?

[Mayfly]

I can't remember which forum it was on but someone quoted his kids were in love with the Guppy after the CWJ day in August. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: here you go Andy it was on UKar

If you ask him perhaps he would give you a quote.

[Dan4th]

I think it's clear that Everyone Loves The Guppy!

Even people who ordinarily don't give a hoot
about aircraft just fall in love at first sight!

I'm sure this is why DW hopes to put her in
a more prominent and suitable location....

Not bad for a Goofy Murkin Bastardization

BTW: Do you guys have any good info on her
pre-Airbus life and activities????

Danf.

[Gaz]

I've never been able to find anything pre Airbus/Aeromaritime/Aero Spacelines

[Dan4th]

There has to be someone "Out There"
who knows all the history.......

Danf.

[Gaz]

SBA did a brief history, here: http://www.superguppy.co.uk/guppy%20history.htm
