Interesting cargo handling

Loved the last one Garry.. especially the DIY cargo handling Hope they put a snag report in for the LH turnoff lamp. Great marshalling too So this is what happens in a country where the HSE has no jurisdiction!

Unfortunatley like so many other aircraft in that part of the World it eneded with a writeoff :-( .........two years after these films were shot

Good Grief!! Of all the cargo to be carrying.. gasoline! :o

I have to say that it looked like an accident waiting to happen.. more a case of when than if :-( I suppose the good news is that 3 managed to escape.

I don't know much about the Caravelle, but isn't it supposed to have a comet nose section? That one looks very different... even the engines look diffirent. :think:

[DaveB]

Early models DID Ben but the Frenchies tweaked it on later production versions ;-)

Like Dave says they changed it on the later versions by making the side widows bigger..still ugly though :-(

The later versions had P&W

Yes indeedie ;-) I think they 'roughed it up' a little on the inside too to give it a more 'galic' feel. Obviously looks similar but not quite the same

The nose section looks VERY MD11

I actually prefer the more angular nose on the 10 and 12 models. Love those early JT8Ds - less whine more scream. At idle they almost sound like a JT3's mixed in.
