Not many people seem to have realised that MBDA and Leonardo have UK subsiduaries but are basically European companies - so it is not the UK going it alone (which the Defence Secretary has conveniently forgotten!).

The propeller one is Airbus 400 Cargo and the jet as mentioed the C17 Cargo. The two Hurcles together. Hope it helps.

Its an Airbus Military A400M Atlas.

Might be worth getting this for lots of useful photos of locos and train formations:-

Noticeable that for most of the advert they are standing up on the train.  Is that because the seats are so bl**dy hard you can't sit on them for long?!!!

Thanks for the replies.  That would seem to explain it!

Having been off-line for a week I have just come back and now Hattons pre-owned section has virtually nothing for sale - just the odd coach and wagon.  Is anyone out there still seeing loads of stuff ie dozens of locos per day etc?

I agree with this for many reasons, not least being their "pay to fly" policy whereby newly-qualified pilots pay Ryanair to fly their planes as a way of building up flying hours.

This is a total myth.  They pay for their Type Rating - which is a requirement to be allowed to operate a particular type of aircraft (and is common practice in many airlines) - but once they begin flying passengers they are paid.
