Paging the aeroplaneisti

Are you sure he's not just having a laugh at your expense?

 

Can somebody please help me?

Elsewhere I am arguing with some bozo about this article ...

http://www.travelfox.com/archive/20040705.htm

Which he insists is a real article.

So far I've tried to convince him otherwise by pointing out that:

1. A swimming pool and bowling alley wouldn't be very practical on a plane.

2. It would take more than 4 years to get from starting the design of a
plane like this to it going into service.

3. That the article claims that design is about to start, but also shows a
photograph of a flying prototype.

4. That the photo is crap and has clearly been stretched.

5. That the bottom of the page says, "All Travel Fox stories are fictional
and satirical and should not in any way be construed as fact."

You'd think (5) would be the killer, but no, he still insists that this
plane is going to be built. Can anybody else think of anything that I may
have missed, other than shooting myself?

Ok, it looks like AndyR has been abducted by aliens..

Well, I agree with that, but the bar and the lounge and the duty free
get a thumbs up from me.

No shit sherlock. Have you been in a time-warp?

Design has finished, and is completed.

You're just taking the piss here, aren't you.

Is he using a three hook trace and you want company? What do you think
we are, Mackerel?

 

That's the sad thing, from his other posts I really do think he is that
stupid.

Funnily enough it's on the Fiat Coupe owners forum at which you pointed me.

By a strange co-inky-dink my Coupe is spending its first night at the local
Fiat garage tonight. I blame you, naturally.

The fact that it has "Fox" in the URL practically guarantees it's bollocks
without having to read the article...

 

Bummer. That'll be expensive then.

Does it have an automatic fan overrun on switchoff?

I'm about to fit a turbo to the 350i. It has two feed and two returns for oil
and water.

 

Nah, somebody else's problem courtesy of the extemely comprehensive warrenty
I got with the car.

Shoot him.

 

Okay, point 1 is probably bollox, but point 2,3 and 4... The aircraft
does exist. It's an Airbus Beluga Cargo (A300-600ST).

Look here:

Agreed that point 5 should have been a clue though...

It's rocket powered. HTH.

 

Can it also make itself invisible?

 

I was distracted by the feral apostrophe.

There was a Beluga in the display at the last BAe Families Day a couple of
years ago. It looked a bit freaky, scooting around at circuit height.

I enjoyed the transport aircraft flying displays at Fairford last year,
although they were C130s. It's certainly very odd to see one in a steep
bank or pulling out of a dive.

 

In the paragraph above the two pictures.

Visualise a 5-Beluga display team...

 

Ah, the joys of owning an Italian vehicle.

At least the Aprilia never self-destructed of its own accord - I had to
perform some major chain neglect to start the problems.

 

Slider fumbled, fiddled and fingered:

That, of course, is the obvious solution.
