Very Sad Garry

Dumb question - were the 748s HS or HAL built???

They will be HS.probably 2B's

Shows the power of the Sun

The almost bleached off light blue was in fact a bold green.

Bouraq was one of the last customers in the final years of the production run. The 2B demonstator at Farborough in about 84 ish........off the top of my head ......was in a Bouraq basic that gave the apearance of green version of the earlier Dan Air livery.........one that wasn't ripe yet :roll:

Well, there is one small consolation.............They are all still in one piece in the photo....Sadly, that may not now be the case. :-(

I think those were the Viscounts scrapped a couple of years ago.

There was some move to acquire one of them for preservation elsewhere but nothing could be done before the axe fell :-(

Yep, just checked google earth and there is no sign of them. :-(

Out there they seem to accumilate their 'junk' over a period of time and them have a mass clear out .

Once they get going there is soon nothimg at all left.

SOme aircraft like the eax MNA Vanguards are not even recorded as a demise.

They were in sevice then stored.....then gone... no firm dates and nothing at all recorded about the break ups of some:-(
