    A Virgin Boeing 737 was being towed to a hanger for maintenance on Sunday night when it became detatched from the tug and rolled into it, which tore the left side skin of the aircraft from the front door to halfway to the wing.

    Apart from things I have been asked by the author to remove, eg accidental multiple posts, the only things I have removed are spam posts, ie a member posting multiple advertising in a number of threads a few minutes after joining the forum. I have never removed any of your posts.

    Spacey, HandBrake is a free download ap. There is a Youtube tutorial here, There are literally dozens of free online video compressors if you search, One I have used is Freecompress. Nothing to download and install. Simply upload your video, choose your output format (,mp4, ,MOV, etc) and start. It will tell you when the converted compressed video is ready to download, Lots of these have popped up since Tik Tok and other video social media sites have emerged.

    I, too, am a pensioner, and don't make cash contributiions, but contribute a lot of time and effort in researching and collating data and photos which have gone to create the 1900 aircraft profiles and the Oddball, Experimental and One-off topic which the view counts indicate are very popular with members, and for which I receive no payment. I also produce the Brain Teaser topic on Social Australia which gets a lot of reaction. Many aircraft profiles have been viewed more than 1000 times.

    I usually do but got lazy. I've posted a few photos that haven't shown thw name when you put the cursor on the photo. I've added this one to the Oddball thread. It has an interesting history. For photos of what is left of this aircraft, click here.

    The Monsted-Vincent MV-1 Starflight was built in Louisiana. The sole aircraft built first flew on the 1st of October 1948. Powered by 4 Continental C-85 engines driving pusher-propellers and it could carry up to 6 passengers. The test results did not encourage any potential customers and the aircraft was put in the Wedell-Williams Memorial Aviation Museum in the Patterson, Louisiana. In 1992, the museum was hit by hurricane Andrew and MV-1 was virtually destroyed. The aircraft was relocated to a storage hanger and in 2005 the hanger along with the aircraft was leveled by hurricane Rita. The museum moved to a new location in Patterson.

    I'll take your expert advice on that, but there certainly didn't look to be any, and the field was surrouinded with emergency vehicles. .

    A Qantas Q400 took off from Mildura today, and suffered failure of hydraulics in its flaps shortly after. It circled the area for some time to reduce fuel before making an emergency landing without flaps.
