he can fly ....... rubschin:

I saw that yesterday... doesn't really make sense does it...?  rubschin:

Well as that site's banner shows it was Vintage News.  They covered it in May last year but the Beeb and everyone else was on it in December 2015  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-35068145

Some stories say they'd been there for 10 years and were finally auctioned off for scrap last September http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2016/09/09/abandoned-jets-on-auction-block-boeings-left-at-senai-set-to-become-scrap/

Explanation: near out of life 747's are two a penny nowadays

No not that bit...

Aviation is completely regulated - I bet they know the shoe size of the guy that changed the wiper blades last and the data and time he did it and probably what he had for breckers that day too...

So the idea that they don't know who owns three whole aeroplanes doesn't make sense...
I could almost hear Snoopy saying that.  sad24:

Not sure you could mount one on the Pajero though it would probably make it easier to get through busy traffic...   whistle:

Given all the drama with the quadcopter I'm not sure where this could end up but I think I'm a safe distance away...  rubschin:
