Aircraft patchwork?
"Robert Moore" wrote in message 5.247... It appears to be a "cargo loading" door that has been replaced and not yet painted. See: http://www.airliners.net/photo/CSA--...461524/L/&sid= 0330cae2681537c95687d78991642d2a Makes sense.....FEDEX uses the ATR-42 for their package service. Bob Moore Had not considered a cargo area forward of the passenger cabin but from your link that is the answer, thank you very much. -- Andrew B (Cheshire, England) "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."

Thank you Netko, that explains it, I hadn't thought of a cargo hold ahead of the passenger cabin. It's not that unusual, when CC-137s flew in combi configuration, the crated cargo was typically forward and we self-loading cargo were aft. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) |

I never knew the 707/CC-137 were produced as a combi configuration, to be truthful I didn't know about the CC-137's, I suppose that the idea for the 747 Combi had to come from somewhere. I hadn't considered a relatively small commuter aircraft like the ATR being made in that style. As for self loading cargo, I think I know that feeling :-) -- Andrew B (Cheshire, England) "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." (Lord Kelvin, president Royal Society, 1895.) |

Hello,
Andrew B a écrit : I never knew the 707/CC-137 were produced as a combi configuration, to be truthful I didn't know about the CC-137's, I suppose that the idea for the 747 Combi had to come from somewhere. I hadn't considered a relatively small commuter aircraft like the ATR being made in that style. As for self loading cargo, I think I know that feeling :-) It had once been considered a military version, known as ATM 42. The lack of rear cargo doors led was to be balanced by the lateral door, to load jeeps, engines, etc... In France, N2501s Noratlas and N262s Fregate are now replaced by the CN-235. Bye, |
