Se roban avión del AICM y aparece en poder de la FGR

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO * Julio 24, 2023. ) Apro El pasado fin de semana, el dueño de un avión denunció el supuesto robo de su aeronave

de las instalaciones del Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México (AICM), lo que generó una investigación de la Fiscalía General de Justicia local (FGJCDMX); sin embargo, fue hasta este lunes que se supo que lo tiene la Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) como parte de una investigación ministerial. Se trata de un avión privado British Aerospace, modelo Bae, serie 800, matrícula N591CF, que habría desaparecido del hangar 5 del AICM, según diversos reportes periodísticos. Su último vuelo fue de Chiapas a la CDMX en octubre del 2022. Presuntamente, el pasado fin de semana el dueño fue a la sede a��rea capitalina para preparar un nuevo vuelo, pero ya no encontró la aeronave; entonces, hizo la denuncia penal correspondiente. La mañana de este lunes, reportes periodísticos informaron que la Fiscalía local ya investigaba el supuesto robo. Poco tiempo después, en su cuenta de Twitter, el AICM se deslindó del caso al anunciar que “no cuenta con alguna comunicación oficial por parte de las autoridades judiciales o

ministeriales, que permita conocer la situación jurídica de la aeronave citada”. Agregó que “en los hangares que este aeropuerto tiene en arrendamiento no se encuentra la multicitada aeronave, desconociendo si está a disposición de alguna autoridad diversa que opera en este aeropuerto”. Luego, se dijo “dispuesto a cooperar con las instancias correspondientes en caso de requerirse”. Más tarde, de acuerdo con los mismos reportes, fuentes de la Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) aclararon que el avión estaba en su poder, pues fue asegurado como parte de una investigación, acción de la cual el dueño no habría sido notificado. ] Síguenos en Facebook.com/acapulcopress Read the full article

Someone asked me if “Fighting to be Heard” covers the BAe-146 fire tankers. Yes, Brian does cover that subject in his wonderful book on the BAe-146.

The two upper images in this post are from Neptune Aviation’s hot retardant loading training manual- how to load phos-check fire retardant while the engines are still running. This allows faster turn around times at tanker bases during fire missions. On the upper left of the image shows the danger areas around the BAe-146 when the engines are running.

The retardant loading ports on Neptune’s 146s are just under and aft of the aft passenger exists. It makes use of existing service panels- in this case, the former lavatory servicing panels. There is a loading port on each side. The overflow vents are just aft of the main landing gear doors. Neptune’s jets carry 3000 gallons of fire retardant.

The lower half of the image is the full page spread showing the 146 fire tankers from “Fighting to be Heard: How the British Aerospace 146 Started the Regional Jet Revolution”.

You know you want this book. It will push every avgeek button you have and probably some new ones you didn’t *know* you have. And I will talk my ass off about this book until every copy is in an avgeek’s hands.

Hard core? You bet. Just as hard core as some of the people who have this book already. One guy even reads pages of the book to his kids as bedtime stories. Gotta nurture the next generation of avgeeks, folks.

My late grandfather's stockbroking and insurance business was one of the first companies to move into the new Hay's Galleria development when it opened in 1987, relocating from the City of London. Three of my cousins continue to run the "family" business from the same office.

I, like my father, never had any interest in joining the family firm, and by 1987 I had already established myself in the Ministry of Defence. Due to my grandfather's complicated Last Will and Testament, I owned 30% of the company at that time. Something my stockbroker cousins were not happy about. Uncle Charlie was struggling to sell the City of London office building which was built for my grandfather in the early 20th Century.

Uncle Charlie and his two sons offered me a deal. I could buy the six storey building near the Bank of England for a very discounted price, in exchange for most of my shares in the business that they were running. I jumped at the chance.

It was not the wisest business decision I have ever made, (but it proved to be profitable a few years later.) I had this huge building in the City which I had no idea, or long-term plan of how I was going to use it... and I now only had a negligible income from my remaining 2% shareholding in the family business. From 1988 to 1997, with the help of my newly recruited Business Advisor I managed to rent out the office space to several other businesses, which paid for the upkeep of the property and generated a small income.

In 1997, I began formulating a plan to start my own business in defense and security research and development. At that time the MoD had begun subcontracting their R&D work to private companies, and there was talk about large-scale redundancies.

Also in '97, the City office building was in desperate need of a refit and renovation, and most of my tenant businesses moved out.

In 1998, I started my own business after securing two contracts from the UK Government. I rented workshop space at my original employment base of MoD Fort Halstead, which doubled as my office initially. (I was still officially employed by the Ministry. This put a strain on my time, but also helped fund my business in the early days.)

In late 1999 refurbishment complete, my company's head office opened in the City of London. We began a rapid expansion gaining work from other UK based businesses, and seeking international clients.

The beginning of the 21st Century was an exciting time, but financially very difficult. Competing against £billion companies such as BritishAerospace was not easy. This was when having a prestigious City of London address proved to be a big advantage. (In those days, most business contracts were negotiated face-to-face.)

In 2002 my hard work paid off, and our business boomed (in more ways than one!) The City office became a very busy place. More and more administration staff required, as well as IT experts, a small electronics workshop and London-area technician's base.

Today my company occupies the top three floors of the City building, two floors are currently rented out to other businesses, the 1st and ground floors are currently under-utilised and used by the building management team, as well as providing bicycle storage, shower and changing facilities... nobody wants to sit next to a sweaty, lycra-clad cyclist all day long! I was looking at the possibility of opening the ground floor to the public with a coffee shop and, maybe a small gymnasium... but, then COVID struck... luckily before I decided to go ahead with these plans.

In January 2020, my company's R&D team and workshop relocated to Wiltshire, from Fort Halstead on the outskirts of London. (That was a sad for me, as that is where I began my career forty years earlier.) When the pandemic hit in March of that year, my company took a big financial hit when our largest ever non-military contract was cancelled.

We survived, but since then I have been looking to relocate the office and sell the City of London building. Like Uncle Charlie in 1987, I have struggled to find a potential buyer who would make me a sensible offer. Early in 2023 a property developer made a very generous offer. I am now struggling to find a suitable alternative site. I do not want to lose any of my loyal office staff... so, it needs to be secure, close to London, have ample parking and be close to a mainline railway station. I recently found an ideal building on a new industrial estate south of Gatwick Airport, but the nearest railway station is too far away.

There is a possibility of building a new office at the site we rent near Croydon where we currently keep our London-based technician's vehicles and equipment. I can drive there in just over 30 minutes and it has (fairly) good transport links. The owner of the site is not keen on the idea, but I have submitted plans to the council. If approved, I will make an offer to the current owner to buy the site. (They need to recoup their losses from the ongoing rail strikes somehow!)

WDL Aviation BAE 146-200 operating for #EasyJet back in 2018. Although a slightly unusual aircraft for EasyJet to charter compared to the normal Titan A320 / B757s etc, four of these aircraft were used to fill the void created by the collapse of #AirBerlin, alongside EasyJet taking on 25 AirBerlin aircraft and 1,000 of the airline's employees. #WDLAviation #BAE146 #ZRH #LSZH #ZurichAirport #TXL #EDDT #RegionalJet #AviationGoals #AviationDaily #InstaPlane #Airline #PlanePhotography #BritishAerospace (at Zürich Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNfo4Y0nZ5y/?igshid=mdr69t9borjz

The first production commercial aircraft to use carbon brakes was Concorde, but the second production commercial aircraft to have carbon brakes was the British Aerospace BAe-146 which first flew in September 1981. Previously seen only high performance military aircraft, carbon brakes on the 146 was really the first widespread commercial aircraft use given the minuscule production numbers of Concorde. ⁣ ⁣ Comparing conventional steel brakes with carbon brakes for the same aircraft, carbon brakes are 40% lighter with better heat absorption. At the time of the 146’s genesis, carbon brakes are considerably more expensive than steel brakes, so it’s use on a short haul jetliner was unprecedented at the time. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve posted before about our new aviation publishing venture, La Jetee Press, and our inaugural book,“Fighting to be Heard: How the British Aerospace Bae-146 Started the Regional Jet Revolution” by Brian Wiklem. In the next several weeks, I’ll be talking more about the BAe-146, Brian Wiklem’s book, as well as giving you a feel for the mission and passion of La Jetee Press. ⁣ ⁣ Humor me the self promotion, but as a life-long avgeek, this book and our enterprise is an exciting time for me I absolutely have to share with everyone. ⁣ ⁣ You can order Brian’s book at www.lajeteepress.com. ⁣ ⁣ #avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #LaJeteePress⁣ #HawkerSiddeley #BritishAerospace #BAe #BAe146⁣ ⁣ #instaaviation #aviationlovers #flight ⁣ ⁣ #AvGeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation #TeamAvGeek https://www.instagram.com/p/Ced6FSJuXaG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

12th April 1935 - The first flight of the Bristol Blenheim, a lightweight bomber used extensively during the first part of WWII.

Built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company (which later became part of BritishAerospace), the Bristol was originally designed as a high speed passenger plane but was quickly redeveloped for use by the RAF as a bomber and long distance fighter aircraft.

It was one of the first British planes to have hydraulically powered flaps, retractable landing gear, rotating gun turret and variable-pitch propellers.

Out of the 1,089 Bristol Blenheims in service with the RAF, this is the only one still flying today which is kept at former RAF Duxford. The public will soon be able experience a flight in the Blenheim, when coronavirus restrictions allow.  https://www.aerialcollective.co.uk/aircraft/blenheim/
