I am really pleased you enjoyed it. The first time we went to Australia , the couple behind us on the flight over kept telling us how wonderful the weather always was. Landed in Sydney, and gosh they were right. A beautiful sunny day (it was November) and I though this is my kind of place After a night where I watched the cleaners in the office buildings around the Marriott turn lights on floor by floor at 3:00 am we decided that as soon as we could we would go out for a walk. Our destination was the rocks. It was chucking it down and we got soaked. By the time we were across the harbour, we were frozen. I remember finding a shop that had a huge lineup because they were selling hot chocolate. I closed my eyes to the cost as it had one important feature - it was hot. The rest of the day was a bit of a blur and all I remember was trying to warm up and thinking, are we in the right place? Next day it was gorgeous again and stayed that way. What can I say? Cheers and thanks again for commenting All the best Pete 23 hours ago, lifejogger said: Excellent Pete!!!!!!!!! Thank you John Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did see that , in fact a number of them in the pac has different "City of ....." which I think is quite cool. Coming from that part of the world you may be able to give some additional insight into this. In the opening sequence of screenshots for MS2020 when it is starting up, there is a 747 shown which has a 5th engine , very close to the fuselage. From what I have been able to discover, these "pods" as they were called were not operational, but were used as a method to transport engines to where they were needed at other locations in their fleet. Just out of curiosity, during your travels , did you ever see any, or have the good fortune to be on the seat side of one. Thanks Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pete spooky that Pete, only the other month I was reading about those Pods on 747's in Airlinerworld magazine, though I have never seen any, it was interesting though...
