In case anybody is interested in why I have not been on much, or in aviation in general, this is the reason why - link |

Don't you find it slightly ironic that Airbus have to build a plane to deliver their own parts to build their own plane?
Still very impressive though.

I find it more ironic that Airbus used to use a modified Boeing to do the same job many years ago.
Boeing also have their own freighter for shipping aircraft sections.

That is quite cool, if slightly ugly! Has it got potential to be sold as a freighter for other large loads or will it just be used in-house?

Limited type certification is planned, and currently only being built for in house use.

Not as big or impressive, but this has been keeping me busy for a while...  |

Looking good Ray, I wondered how you were getting on. Is it classed as a microlight or a light aircraft?

It's a microlight (or at least it is until I climb in)

 It is now painted, and should bring a smile to many faces. |

Thanks Andrew.
After all the hard work, I was glad to see it come back safely with a relatively clean TLB.
