Re: C5-GAF, I have just been informed that it is not actually being parted out, it is...

"in mid-maintenance, and has been moved out of the hangar to accommodate other planned work, pending resolution of various technical issues"

Thanks for the info Bob.

Have checked it out an HA-YAO is the one.

Couple of additions / changes to the log above after looking at the LAAS based residents list:

G-BXCA should actually read G-AXCA
N60256 Beech C35 is stored in front of the Australian 748's
G-CBMI Yak-52 was noted and tied up via a picture - this was in the middle of the airfield, northside

Also, the FAB-098 which is mentioned in the LAAS section - this is now completely broken-up and wasn't seen.

Cheers

Darren,

There has been a few updates on LAAS since the above update, it was the only one that I could find the SU29 on.

Happy New Year
