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.

I run Firefox on my 3 Desktops, my HTPC and my laptop.

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!!!!

The blame game continues.....

I do...... staggered home after daybreak many a time....

"Foreign debris"..... LOL.... Yet again Boeing use the slippery shoulder technique to put the blame on somebody/something else than themselves. The fact is Boeings safety systems failed when a problem arose. Electrical equipment should be designed to stop problems like this occurring. Things like short circuits and fires are preventable by design.

Do you mean the 7LATE7????

Notice how the Boeing fan-boys have been very quiet about the 767 Engine fire that happened on a Delta flight over the weekend!!! And it suffered a "tail strike" on landing..... Bet there was some clean underpants needed for those passengers!!!

Exactly Tom...... All BigD ever does is "cut and paste" anti-Airbus articles.... he never actually tries to debate about the topic....

The continuing saga of the Nightmareliner delays must be costing Boeing big time.... especially after the latest saga of the incendiary electrical panels..... It's already hit Boeings share price.

Three quality airlines obviously failed to react to 2 warnings from Airbus/Rolls Royce. Not shoddy, but perhaps a bit careless.
