Impressive video - for those, like me who were wondering about MSN 5:

MSN 5 was due to be used for tests as well, but as it would only have been available for the last six months of the campaign it was decided to suspend its construction because the company wanted to have the final aircraft in the flight test programme to be equivalent to subsequent production aircraft. This will also allow improvements that result from the first year of flight test to be integrated on the aircraft.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

So only a few more days until the last bmibaby flight on 9th September.
As the airline operating from my local airport (EMA) and with it's offices here I will miss this little airline as it had some great flights and I always found the air crews really helpful.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

So do I, the company I work for did a lot of work on it.:D

The manuals are in my library.
