We have been waiting from 08:00 and had some rain and cold wind.
I think everyone was frozen from this cold weather.
We were lucky .... some photo's were taken with sunshine.

Thanks to 2 other spotters for there company and I hope that the girl whom I spoke saw the plane leave from where she was standing.

untill next time

Hope to see you in the future somewhere at the fence of BRU (without the rain and cold)or on my next visit to the départure hall (if you are working).

Hello

Very nice pics and video's guys. Thanks!!!
Although they make me going crazy from dissapointment

:twisted:
I promised myself that I would come and see her deparing. I wansn't

I really liked to be one of those freezing guys

I still know how I was freezing to death when Airforce One left in February , what a cold morning that was to be there at 7 O' Clock

:P Those are the good times!

I was really disappointed that I couldn't come , you guys saw here leaving when I was driving back from school (from a bad exam).

Too bad A LOT OF GOOD AVIATION THINGS ARE IN THE EXAM PERIOD!!!!

Airshows: example : Paris airshow , Mid June...WHAT A DATE??? Exams...same now

Had some more times , too bad.

Well I hope (and I'm sure) you guys enjoyed it , we want see them that many anymore in BRU I'm Afraid.(or totally otherwise , more??? Who will say???)

Best regards: Yannick

Bruspotter,

I'm sorry for you that the exam didn't go as planned. As already said a lot of times, airlines and the aviation industry doesn't base its schedule on the exam timetable of the schools. We all miss some events and it's impossible to attent every meeting or every special event. That's life.

Well I hope (and I'm sure) you guys enjoyed it , we want see them that many anymore in BRU I'm Afraid.(or totally otherwise , more??? Who will say???)

Oh dear, oh dear. Can someone please translate for me ?

Is this a new secret language you are writing Yannick ?

Chris

BTW use the spellcheck next time !

My try: Well i hope (and i am sure) that you guys enjoyed it. We won't see them that much anymore at BRU i'm afraid. (or maybe the opposite: will we see them more now? Only time will tell)

Thanks for the translation Matthias. But the sentence still makes no sense in english

These picture were taken at the end of january or in february. The smoke is coming from the number 2 engine. This was for some testing of the aircraft, they also moved it a little bit, to prevent flat spots on the tires

Very smokey indeed.

HI

Indeed , it IS life Avro! Of course you can't see everything...well we can try

And sorry again , it had to end up again so weird at the end of my post.
Guess I better just cut a whoooole part of my posts...and that I just make them shorter so all the ..C...P...doesn't need to stand there.

And thanks for the patience you have...again. Will mind it in the future.
(BTW I don't think it's really the spellcheck only but mostly the grammar :s that's indeed not really my best

;))

And thanks to Koen for the successful (new founded CIA language) translation.

lol

Best regards: Yannick
