I never know whether to believe what I write down as I am a past master at transposing letters/digits, and when someone gives me a c/n which relates to IKP, I tend to believe that it is me who cocked up once again. Note to self - believe in yourself - repeat 10 times!!!! Meerkat @ Emirates - you'll ...

I think the Challenger was another famous Meerkat mis-pole - it should have been OE-IKP c/n 5599. Brilliant day for Bizjet fans. This morning there were 5 Challengers on Abelag, with another arriving later in the morning. Add these to the 3 Global Expresses (should that be Globals Express?), 4 milit...

20% of value per month seems a bit steep - you could save for 5 months and then buy!!!

Rago. What exactly do you want from the forums? Perhaps a question that everyone should give some consideration to - general chit-chat or specific information. Personally I get frustrated at times by a lack of "hard fact" but if you can spend the time to trawl through the dross you can usu...

@ Bruspotter

Might this be your RAF bird http://www.airliners.net/open.file/938375/M/

Not a Hawker 800XP but an earlier version of the of the HS 125 being a HS.125-700B (in RAF service known as a HS125 CC.3)

ZD720 looks a little different! http://www.airliners.net/open.file/629502/M/

106 views and not 1 reply - seems like I am not going to get anywhere with this request. I guess that it is a bit off the beaten track but it looks like it has been there a while. Forgot to mention in my first post that the aircraft is positioned outside a shop called "Troc & Broc" Mee...

Long Shot!

Information wanted please. As it is herfstvakantie my family are staying in Stavelot near Spa (Francorchamps) and whilst driving back from the town to the highway I spotted an aircraft parked in a carpark as an eyecatcher. I couldn't stop (maybe next time) but could see no markings other than an ove...

@ pit600f It is extremely unlikely that Comet will be affected by Friday's strike as she will be safely in northern England which is yet to become part of Belgium. Louise, perhaps you should change your routing via Amsterdam and take the train into Belgium - just in case. Of course then you would no...

The "F.27" is in fact a Handley Page Herald and the Convair is most likely a CV-340 or CV440 being a piston not a turbo-prop. The other Delta Air transport a/c looks like a DC-6.

The most interesting stuff today has to have been the 3 Slicers on Abela (Citation X's to the uninitiated) along with US reg'd G4 and F2TH

3 frames for me - nice day!

This particular 134 has been to Brussels in the not too distant past - I logged it in June 2001.

The other station is Kortenberg not Diegem, as this would leave you the wrong side of "the Ring". From the station it is about a 10 minute walk up the hill to the 25L threshold. Are you coming to BRU to just watch aircraft or do you intend to take photographs. If only looking then the term...

My 2 best for overall "seeability" would be Frankfurt and Dusseldorf as they both have 2 good areas to view from, each with cover should the weather be inclement. Amsterdam is a good first "awayday" as it is cheap and easy to get to from UK but suffers in that you can't see every...
