What have I been up to?

Well it was asked in my birthday thread and whilst I am not around here much anymore and my joystick gathers dust and my FS installations gather bad clusters (only kidding, hope not), I thought it rude not to answer the question. Looking back at the pictures you're about to see, anyone would think t...

Sadly, owing to lockdowns, measures and travel restrictions over the last two years, not a huge amount of interest to tell, not even any airshows. I did manage to get to a few places and...

Re: One pleasurable night in the Netherlands.

I thought I picked up a couple in Norway last week on FR24? Other than parts of Africa, S. America or SE Asia, the two most likely places where you could get on an F50 now are Sweden (Amapola Flyg, who were actually leasing Air Antwerp's machine to them) or Alliance in Australia. The last time VLM ...

Re: One pleasurable night in the Netherlands.

Back in May, expectations were that flights would be restarted by August.... guess that's not going to happen. I would suggest keeping an eye on this page: http://www.airnieuws.nl/index.html (Yes, the first page is in Dutch but click on 'Fokker' and you'll get the latest fleet news in English). Any...

Re: One pleasurable night in the Netherlands.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, I've just seen this which suggests that my hope to fly the Fokker 50 again between London and Antwerp when all these restrictions have been lifted will not come to be :(

Even if I am not around much these days, and no airshows or trips to share photos from, thanks for all the wishes, everyone :thumbsup:

Two can play that game

Hope this isn't too political for here :worried: , but I would hope we could all agree to condemn a certain recent act of "air piracy" and diversion of a passenger airliner under serious false pretences for the ulterior motive of arresting a dissident. Today, the government of Poland close...

Nice, did they ever finish painting the 747 in BOAC colours? Before they grounded the fleet that is?
There were (are?) BOAC, Negus & Negus and Landor retro liveries on the 747. Unfortunately all withdrawn now.
