München-Riem
December 1989
G-BEPS
Short SC-5 Belfast C1
1822 / 7
HeavyLift Cargo Airlines
A very rare visitor to Riem, G-BEPS is taxiing to runway 25 for take-off. According to my notes, three of the ten Belfasts built visited Riem: SH1816 (G-BEPE) on 3 June 1980, SH1822 (G-BEPS) in August 1989 and December 1989, March/April 1990 and May 1992 as well as SH1819 (G-HLFT) in May 1990.
First flight as G-52-13 with Short Brothers Plc on 21 February 1966. In service as XR368 Theseus with 53 Squadron, RAF, at Brize Norton. In 1976, 53 Sqn was disbanded and Theseus was sold to Euro-Latin Commercial Ltd (PANAF) as G-BEPS. Re-registered to Transmeridian Air Cargo and then to HeavyLift in 1978. Broken up at Southend in October 2008 after plans to put it back in service alongside sister-ship RP-C8020 (ex G-HLFT) down-under fell through.

CCCP-82042 Antonov An-124-100 Ruslan [9773054055093] (Heavylift Cargo / Volga Dnepr Airlines) Dusseldorf Int'l~D? @ 01/06/1993. From a slide. Thought to have been taken here.
The first pair of steel bridge girders bound for the new Worcester Southern Link Flyover have been delivered to site from Darlington. Measuring 42 metres in length and weighing 72 Tonnes, the girders were loaded on our specialist modular drawbar 6-row double bogie trailers.
The Heavy lift vessel is holding a Three legged 2 Bay Turbine Jacket with Suction piles while adjusting its GPS positioning to lower the jacket directly onto it's prepared location in the correct orientation ie North South East West etc.
The Jacket is the Steel Frame that is located on the sea bed (in this instance by Suction Piles) and it is this, on which the Turbine sits via a bolted flange and Mast or Tower.

Royal Air Force Boeing Chinook HC.2 ZA677 after the rain at the Kemble Air show on th 26th June 2004.
With the upgrade of the existing Chinook fleet along with acquiring additional new airframes plus the advent of the re-building of the Puma fleet as well, the RAF will be standardising on these two airframes for their heavy-lift capability when they relinquish their Merlins to the Navy in a couple of years time.

Only 10 Shorts Belfast's were built for the UK Royal Air Force.
Built in Feb-66 by Short Brothers & Harland in Belfast, NI, UK. The aircraft was first flown with the Shorts test registration G-52-13 and delivered to the UK Royal Air Force serialled XR368 in Mar-66.
A high level decision at the UK Ministry of Defence saw the whole fleet grounded by mid 1976 and this aircraft was sold to Pan African Freight Liners as G-BEPS in Apr-77.
The aircraft was sold to HeavyLift Cargo Airlines in Sep-78. It was permanently retired at Southend, UK in Apr-01 and was eventually broken up there in Nov-08.
