  1. I thought 89001 only ran at 110mph in service? Several books quote that speed. Cheers David
  2. What would be the cost/operational advantage of the 89 over, say, 87002 and cascading something else onto ECS for Caledonian? Cheers David

  11. Meanwhile in Rockhampton it was 44 degrees and 8% humidity with 70 km/h winds. This is why the second highest fire danger rating is "extreme".

  13. Not quite a picture of aircraft, but for those who like the sound of a RR Tay, today was my first flight in a Fokker 70. Cheers Dacid
  14. An update! 8606 returned to the main line under its own power today with a test run to Mt Victoria. It has had some work done on it by Progress Rail and was crewed by Pacific National.
