Colin James Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 I took these this morning Quote
Glenda Powell Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks Colin, So that's why the traffic was at a standstill out side my home for the past two hours, it just cleared ten minutes ago Quote
Colin James Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 This is why CVP Photo by OPU Herefordshire Quote
TheMole Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 In the context of an airfield setting a 747 although looks it looks big, it's not until you put it in the setting of our quaint little town you realise the enormity of these things. Good luck taking the first A380 to the breakers! Quote
Colin James Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Bypass anyone? lol Would of been useful today... Quote
Colin James Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Out on the A465, think we know where it's going now. Quote
megilleland Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Knowing this government it is a rendition flight. Anyone check the inside for any "passengers". Silly me we don't do that sort of thing do we! Quote
twowheelsgood Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Why have they shrink wrapped it? Is it so that we won't know what it is? Quote
ragwert Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Out on the A465, think we know where it's going now. Plane A465.jpg The SAS train for assaulting hijacked aircraft using a mock up of a passnger airliner at the training ground at Pontrilas, Herefordshire (see image below). The Killing House can also be configured to emulate the interior of airliners. Frequent exercises involving real-world aircraft (usually provided by British Airways) take place, complete with role-playing terrorists and hostages Quote
greenknight Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Well it did seem to be a long way to go for a breakers yard....I wonder if we will see redundant government buildings or perhaps the odd ocean going liner going the same way...for training purposes. Quote
Ubique Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 I am just wondering where to park it - Mrs. Ubique thought that it would be ideal,for the hibernating hedgehogs ! Quote
Colin James Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 They have trains and other large items and buildings that the regiment use to train with at Pontrilas, this must just be a replacement for the ones they have blown to bits. Quote
Ubique Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Just a thought Colin - it's re your headline - Huge Boeing etc - are there any small ones ? Quote
Victor Wright Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Just a thought Colin - it's re your headline - Hugh Boeing etc - are there any small ones ? Who is Hugh Beoing? ha ha Quote
Alex Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Good to see the HT using your images here Colin, to be fair they have credited HV, still good to see, great photo's btw. Quote
Colin James Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Just a thought Colin - it's re your headline - Huge Boeing etc - are there any small ones ? I have changed the headline, good point. Quote
ragwert Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Another one arrives next Saturday.It took an age to get under the railway bridge in Belmont Road and looked very tight,also noticed they removed one side of traffic lights by Oval. Quote
Colin James Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Posted February 15, 2015 Another one arrives next Saturday. It took an age to get under the railway bridge in Belmont Road and looked very tight,also noticed they removed one side of traffic lights by Oval. And we have been campaigning to remove these traffic lights for years, one Boeing aircraft and they come down. Quote
megilleland Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 With no city buses running to Newton Farm after 7pm you are more likely to see a Boeing 747 coming down Belmont Road than a Stagecoach 74/74A. Quote
Biomech Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Good to see the Hereford Times using your images here Colin Send them an invoice Quote
