chris.watson Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 That sounds a bit grim, not some sort of Panorama-style documentary on airline safety is it Chris? not a grim pannorama style programme, it just shows how a lot of different people doing different jobs all make the cargo operation at stansted come together. it shows how i build freight,[a 200k merc on this occasion] load it and push the plane out with a tug at the end.

chris.watson Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 a point of interest, the tug i push the plane out with will push or pull 500 tons, and the max take of weight of a 747 freighter plane is 465 ton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
