Re: Another One Bites the Dust!
I've not commented before during this thread, feeling a bit upset by past events in my own family. But thinking back to the good times, perhaps somewhat irreverent, to me this emphasised Ian's sense of humour. You've only got to look at the responses to know that he recognised his audience ;) http:/...

Re: Fokker F27
Possible it could be one of two:
PH-KXX or PH-JXK - depends on the additional text on the fuselage! Discounting PH-JXJ because of the additional logo on the tail.

Re: Nightmareliner Fire Closes LHR
Agree with comment - have a read of the AvHerald article http://avherald.com/h?article=45c377c5&opt=0
A bit premature to lump it with the battery problems but seems like batteries are at the front and APU is at the back (but also some batteries?)

Re: Windows 8.1
I went from XP to Win7 so that gives an idea of my OS refresh rate. I've still got an unopened copy of Win7 ready for the next laptop that comes with Win 9/10. Current laptop came with OEM Win7 so didn't need it. And my OS refresh is faster than the company I work for which tends to influence my thi...

Re: BA engine issue at Heathrow
I prefer to read the AAIB version rather than some journalist's interpretation: http://www.aaib.gov.uk/publications/special_bulletins/s3_2013___airbus_a319_131__g_euoe.cfm And it seems there have been previous instances - lot of chatter on PPrune about that - and confirmed by comment on final page o...

Re: Few More Pics
Googling the registrations comes up with Volvo 7900. Seems like chassis and bodywork are combined: http://www.volvobuses.com/bus/global/en-gb/products_services/buses/City%20buses/volvo_7900_hybrid/Pages/Introduction.aspx The days of separate chassis and coachwork may have gone - not the same as Lond...
