Remark

CS-TQE (cn 221) The rear pump used to support the plane's tail when they leverage the plane to it's right position. Can you see the firemen? One of them is on the top of the pump (This a320 collapsed the front landing gear when taxying to Rwy 05).

Remark

Photographer

XW666 (cn 8041) Previously displayed at Long Marston, Nimrod R.1 XW666 nose had moved to Aeroventure (the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum) at Doncaster when I visited in October 2003 and made a spectacular "entrance guard" to the museum. On the 16th May 1995 during a test flight there was a catastrophic fire resulting from a starter motor exploding and the crew had to ditch the Nimrod in the Moray Firth before the main spar failed. Thankfully all the crew escaped with their lives.
