TRIP TO BARCELONA AND BACK ON THE SAME DAY

TRIP TO BARCELONA AND BACK ON THE SAME DAY : January 14th 1985 and yes it was snowing. We should have gone to Girona–Costa Brava Airport. 

However the guy there could not clear the runway quick enough of snow with his broom. 

I am writing a full story with more photos so stay tuned.

Explaining about our preloved models at Airspotters.com

Our Preloved collection offers unique opportunities for model enthusiasts. These cherished items have found their way to us through downsizing or, in some cases, as part of a bereavement process. We understand the emotional significance of these models and strive to find them loving new homes.

While we carefully inspect each model, please note that they are not brand new. Minor imperfections like missing wing aerials or shelf wear may be present. We appreciate your understanding as we work diligently to accurately describe each item. To ensure your model looks its best, a gentle clean with warm soapy water or a simple dust and polish might be necessary. We love to do this for you, however the pressure of the business dictates otherwise. 

We offer competitive pricing to reflect the nature of these items and want you to feel confident in your purchase. Please note that discount codes cannot be applied to Preloved or Clearance items.

The wackiest Boeing 747 I have ever seen

The wackiest Boeing 747 I have ever seen. Dunsfold 2017 this 747 had fake engines put on by Pinewood studios. Made out of plywood and rotten by now. James Bond Casino Royale the plane in thats was a large models but close up they used this. They came to Dunsfold and filmed here at night. A friend of mine was one of the ambulances on standby here when they did the filming. The rest is smoke and mirrors and if you see the film you not know you were here or even outside. Boeing made a rule that the 747 aircraft was not recognisable as a 747 and that was achieved very well. The plane was used as a business meeting place but the inside is very damp and horrible. Bob Cooper may have some more info on this, from the time he worked on the VC-10. Last I heard it was down to be scrapped but then two BA 747 arrived to keep I company. The engines are so bad you can put you finger though the wood. Someone had when I was there and this is how I know. Malcolm Airspotters.com

Aviation Model Time "Volotea Boeing 717-200 EC-MGS Scale 1/200"

 

AVIATION MODEL TIME

JC Wings Volotea Boeing 717-200 EC-MGS Scale 1/200 LH2381

This is a model that was down to be released in 2022. It was never released and we had many orders for this model, they of course were cancelled. Now we find the model is coming back and is due to be relased in August 2024 by JC Wings. This is a 1/200 scale. This means for those that do not know, the model is two hundred times smaller than the real aircraft. It is of course diecast and as you can see from the photos it comes with a stand as well. If you were one of the customers that order this before then we are happy to retake your model order. 

I took this photo in 2018 on the Greek island of Zante. A very dirty and tired looking 717. 

The Boeing 717-200 is no longer in production, but Volotea was one of the few airlines still flying the type in Europe. The aircraft is known for its fuel efficiency and performance on short and medium-haul routes.

The Volotea Boeing 717-200 was a twin-engine jet airliner formerly operated by the Spanish low-cost carrier Volotea.

The model features a stand and undercarriage 

Of course it comes in a box as shown here.
