Voyager due
Re: Voyager due
Plenty of posts on MSF from people on base that have read the one there off as ZZ330 - all we need now is for them to check the data-plate or logbook to confirm the history!
Re: Voyager due
Personally I'll believe whatever ZZ330 says.......or should that be ZZ331????

Ahh, so it's common, of course, how stupid of me - I don't need to know its ID because it's common!

Re: Voyager due
I dont have an interest in numbers, or get wat all dis txt spk is abt either. But at the end of the day, FC is for everyone who has an interest in this hobby, be it numbers / photography / whatever. If you dont like it, perhaps this forum isnt for you.
Re: Voyager due
well said Pikey. don't you just hate it when someone tries to force their view on everyone else? live and let live ..... please
Re: Voyager due
It's based! How is that not relevant?!andrew b wrote:I don't get wat all the fuss is about wat with airframe numbers and numbers on doors not really anything to do with brize and wats going on there can't we have some exciting news about brize maybe there should be a seperate thread for this sort of thing ,I am all for the voyager but numbers and stuff.boring.
Re: Voyager due
some people want too talk numbers/serials,its important to them as a aviaton enthusiast, where as others just want the ones with special markings or bomb counts that are marked.Each to there own....... no point in arguing??

May the skies be clear and blue and the wind fair with a guiding star to steer by.
Re: Voyager due
Andy,
I would stop digging now if I were you. You'll find there aren't many more "real" dedicated aviation enthusiasts than those who will travel hundreds of miles to write down a few numbers!

Re: Voyager due
ZZ330 is also registered to Air Tanker as G-VYGA.

Re: Voyager due
Well, I suppose that confirms the fact that c/n 1046 = MRTT017 = ZZ330 = G-VYGA?!
P.S. Shameless plug! - A330MRTT Production List

Re: Voyager due
I'd imagine the G-xxxx would be on a sticker which can be removed to display ZZxxx (G-VYGA -> ZZ330)

Re: Voyager due
So the painted serial that reads ZZ330 on both sides of the rear fuselage isn't correct, think againrobin wrote:He..He.. He...
ZZ330 IS NOT at Brize.....
Repeat ZZ330 is NOT AT BRIZE NORTON :
he... he... he...
However what is at Brize currently IS...... G-VYGA Airbus A-330-243
G-VYGA was registered on 22nd December 2011...
Now try guessing what G-VYGA is EX (previous serial) Its c/n 1046
Not Rocket Science...... when you look at the Regisration G- VYGA = Voyager
Think this game is getting more silly every day.....
Have a nice day :

Re: Voyager due
To confuse things further (sorry!), a report from an airshow in Singapore lists MRTT016 on the ground - that should be the one that's at Brize! Hoping it's a mis-pole...
