If you take the freighters out of the equation the number ordered is 33, of which 8 are biz jets - that is pitiful compared to the A380!!!

And how many orders has the old dinosaur 747 picked up lately? Over the last 3 years they had 5 ordered by Korean and 3 for Business jets!!! The 747 is dying a slow and painful death!!!

The A380 order total is currentlly 234 with the possibility of more to come. Considering the state of the global economy it has still manged to pick up orders. Yes, the 7LATE7 has been picking up orders...... and has also seen orders being canceled... Total orders for this year? -4 And with the current indeterminate delay it's probably a good bet that there will be more cancellations.

One could also say Airlines Boeing

Looking at those photos they can't even get that right!!

Dodgy...... downright dangerous more like!!!! It wouldn't take much work to fit junction boxes.... but no,.... they've used lumps of terminal block on mains cables!!!...

GoogleDenny spends all day looking for anti-Airbus propoganda...... and even resorts to digging up old news. And then when he posts it he struggles with using the "quote" function!!! This year the 7LATE7 has had 36 orders .... and 40 cancellations..... but how many more will cancel after the latest delay???

Well, that is a very poor translation!!! It seems as though the fire is being blamed on a foreign object being left in the panel. The major problem is that the vital systems failed as a result of the fire. The fire would have been caused by over-heating due to over-currents caused by a short circuit. Circuit protection should have prevented this from occurring, but it obviously didn't. The question is though, was it by design or by construction? It is obvious they need to investigate why the circuit protection failed so disastrously and implement design changes to prevent a re-occurrence. They also will need some redesign to prevent loss of vital systems if the power supplies fail again. Modifications will then need to be made to the planes already that have already been built. It will cause a long delay to the 7LATE7 program.... Boeing are already halting deliveries of parts. It seems as though they are also suffering humidity problems on the Nightmareliner leading to another rethink on the on-board ventilation!!!

3 tests remaining and England only need one more victory to retain the Ashes..... What a sweet victory that one will be!!!

I heard it was somebody called Denny who was the sponsor...

C'mon Engerland!!!!! Won by an innings and 71 runs!!!!

Oh dear.... it's not looking good.... 295 for 9!!!

The electrical fire was nothing to do with European suppliers!!! The current delay can't be blamed on anyone else but Boeing and their engineers!!!

Last day....... looking good for the Barmy Army!!!

Singha.... occassionally Tiger.... and if I'm in the mood for shorts I go for Sambuca.

Soon be certified......... the flight testing is still being delayed

Maybe it's because it's burst into flames..... Oh dear..... the aircrafts primary stucture suffered damage. They still have found out what caused the fire, they claim it was a "foreign object". As it stands the EIS has an indeterminate delay. All the 7LATE7 customers should start hitting Boeing with compensation demands.

So why aren't you bashing Boeing for their piss poor quality control on the 7LATE7....

What? They all married the same one???

The fire damaged 7LATE7 gets ready to fly again! ANA must be fuming the test 7LATE7 involved is in their livery, and not Boeings! A case of bad publicity for ANA.... OK, so it's fit again to fly......but it's already added a 3 week delay to the flight-test program...

It's just one of many excuses Boeing have used to blame somebody else but themselves for the 7LATE7 delays.

Let's look at the 7LATE7..... The fastener shortage fiasco....... The foreign and domestic supply chain fiasco..... The incorrectly fitted fastener fiasco....... The body strengthening fiasco...... The machinists strike fiasco........ System failures after a fire fiasco....... If I remember rightly the Boeing fan-boys were expecting the Nightmareliner to sail through design build and testing without hitting problems. The programme is now running over 3 years late... It is now nearly a year since first flight and Boeing are still encountering problems.

No misquotes, or lies from me....... and calling you a Boeing fan-boy is hardly a personal attack!!!!
