[WhisperJet]

Dear All,

I would like to direct everyone here to Peter Clark's fabulous 1-11 site for a quick review of the 2009 activities around this great airliner!

Let's all hope the frames flying will survive 2010!

Cheers,

Nick

Thanks, Nick.

If anyone wants to hear a 1-11 right now get yourself over to Boscombe Down! I'm 20 miles away as the crow flies but I can quite clearly hear the ETPS aircraft flying touch and gos from here! And long may she do so!

Interesting and informative link. Cheers for the HU Nick.

Whilst we are on the subject, I wish someone out there knew anything about the African Viscount current or last known movements.

HI Eddie

Obviously you've missed that One-Eleven link when posted several times previously

Just as well things get reposted

Nothing on the Viscount except the former G-APEY that was stored and then confirmed as scrapped is reported to still be airworthy and flying a month after it was said to have been scrapped

Potentially.....due to reports, there could be three flying but the 700 in that group although complete has been parked for a few years on the ramp and a pic recently showed.....as can be expected out there....it is covered in moss and grime.

One thing I think you can be sure of is that a Viscount..due to corrosion problems twenty years ago will never again fly in Europe.

Unless it was completly rebuilt.

Cheers Garry.

I recall some kind of 1-11 link posted before which gave updates. But over time I guess I forgot about it.

Its nice to be reminded that some of them are still going strong.

And ta for the viscount info.
