I did hear on the grapevine that there were three in total, two yesterday, G-BLXR and G-TIGG , and G-BMCW was due to-day. We went to-day @ 14:30hrs and there was only G-BMCW to see. But that went into the book as a ;D. Regards Beemer.

Just a quick update for everyone re the Super Puma's this morning used some valuable petrol to visit Seaforth Docks route taken avoiding town> Bridge-A562-M57 (to switch island)-A5036-A565 (watch out for the speed cameras-Lots of)> L'pool and at 10:35am all three Super Puma's were as posted by Airbuss last night by the fence:- G-BMCW ;D G-TIGG ;D G-BLXR ;D Don't know if they were roaded in or came in on a ship, but if anyone is going to see them I think you had better get your skates on as engineers were around them as I did my two drive past's and they maybe heading either on a boat or back to Aberdeen. Anyway lads thanks for the info which brightened up an otherwise dull day. Set's me up for my road trip tomorrow. On my way back to Runcorn saw the Herc on the approach to LPL. Happy Days Bob

I've had a look though that & the only ship that's of the right type to carry a cargo such as these appears to be the Independent Accord. Although I'm not sure if that's what they'll be going on! I managed to get up to see them this evening anyway so panic over Thanks!
