question - why are there (on Airliners.net) so many pictures of RAF Tens at Gdansk, Poland? some are very recent too, so it can't be VVIP trips

Cheap fuel, cheap women... =))

It certainly is

I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere but I've heard a rumour about 5 VC10's to be flown "Somewhere"

to be scrapped.

If it is true, I trust some of you will be joining me to witness their arrival

by **Saracenman** » Thu May 21, 2009 12:52 pm

Wedgy and i heard the same on Tuesday Gaz

they are certainly being reduced to spares, one by one - the spares recovered are needed to keep the rest of the fleet going, but i doubt that the rumoured five will be arriving that soon - they're still working too bloody hard!

i imagine that Mackrick will know more about it than anyone

Not for the foreseeable future that's for sure. I do know where they will eventually go though but can't say.
ZD242 was the last to leave Brize.

Is it the same "Somewhere" I've been told?

I'm guessing it's the same B somewhere that I'm aware of.

And after approx 200 attempts at trying to find it as a drive along - I still haven't :((

by **Saracenman** » Fri May 22, 2009 4:06 pm

yes you have you plonker! i pointed it out to you the other day! =))

by **Mayfly** » Fri May 22, 2009 4:08 pm

Wedgy on the ball as usual then :))

by **Saracenman** » Fri May 22, 2009 4:57 pm

I've just spoken to him - he's on his way back past there shortly, and is under strict instruction to get photographic evidence!

by **Mayfly** » Fri May 22, 2009 5:21 pm

don't call me shortly

by **Wedgy** » Fri May 22, 2009 7:12 pm

I saw it $\:D/$

Helped by the fact I managed to figure out the specific area I was meant to be looking out for. You need to look quick at 90 70mph

by **Mackrick** » Fri May 22, 2009 7:59 pm

What no photo after SM requested one ?

by **Saracenman** » Fri May 22, 2009 8:33 pm

the matter has been discussed!

apparently, the junior rear-seat occupant is to receive full photographic training this weekend, ready for the return trip!

had i thought about it, i had a zoom camera in my bloody pocket when we passed the other day! ~x(
