For a change...

... managed to escape the monotony of endless 727 flights for a trip on one of the Diesel 8s. Was a bit busy so just took the one rather poor pic;
We took 7 armoured land cruisers to Kabul. The doorway on the '8 seems to get smaller when you try & drive through it

Hi Richard,
No picture ever taken on the flight deck of an eight can be classed as poor matey. Nice shot and thanks for posting, you lucky man!

LOL..... When I first saw it the first thing I thought about the GPS was that I have a better one in my car
Turned out to be a cracking bit of kit though!! Much better than some of the proper panel mounted ones I've seen.

If you like Diesel 8's come to Bahrain........ There are 4 -63s based here and the Astar & ATI examples are occasional visitors. There have been 6 here at one time before (& 7 based 727s, visiting VC-10s, etc).
