I find beauty in it's homely ugliness but see no beauty in the Victor :hide:

I often see the Beluga's float by at altitiude and they do have a interesting look about them.

In case anyone has missed this...there is going to be a new Super Beluga based on the Airbus A.330

Some reports say it is A.340 based

I wonder what an A.380 Beluga would look like??? *-)

Hi,

This talk of the Guppy reminded me of my visit a few years ago to Bruntingthorp in Leicestershire and this video shows some of the newer aircraft that's there now,

It looks like i will have to go again now they have the Nimrod, i originally went hoping to look in the Victor but was out of luck that day but sat in the Canberra as i flew in one from Bassingbourne many years ago when i was in the ATC, and they never loose that smell!!!

Cheers,

Roger.
