There was a 146 parked right next to an A380 at Brisbane airport a few weeks ago, when I was last there. The difference in size was amazing. I believe the BAe 146 is the smallest four engined jet aircraft still in service. Back when they were used a lot in Australia for regional flights, we used to joke that they were powered by four hair dryers.

Richard, ow did you get around the 7Kg carry on limit with your camera gear? Did Helen have to surrender her allowance or did you wear the gear and not put in the case? Always a concern for me this... I take a rucksack plus carry on bag. I weighed them on my Panama trip. It came up with a total of 20Kg!

@visitwithus Жыл бұрын

Yes, we shared the hand luggage allowance between us, although it was a challenge. Thankfully we managed though 😥 Thanks for watching 👍

Did you know that the front seats on a plane are the most dangerous, and if the plane is very large, so is the mid section as in a crash a large plane can break in two then the mid section becomes the front end, front ends can then crash into something on the ground. Take care and thanks.

hello Rich nice Video. I am from Punta Arenas I would like to travel to antartic but is very expensive . however , I can pay dap antartic airways Full day and overnight tour too. Did you buy any those tours ?? what do you recommend me ?? I am thinking choose Hurtugriten expeditions tour to usuahia because is very similar in prices to dap . Hopefully you can come back to my city is very beautiful in general. jajajaj you have the same name as me jajaaj mr richard regards

@visitwithus Жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching and you have a beautiful city! Yes, I think you can book to do a 1 day visit to Antarctica if you fly both ways, ot like us you can fly one way and sail back. We sailed with Aurora Expeditions, and I hope you get the time to watch our video series all about the trip - you might find it helpful. :D

good point about the lift vests on a flight to Antarctica! lol well, maybe they should use the environmental suits we use on UK/USA/French nuclear powered submarines for submarine escape. Originally, when I was in the US Navy 1999 to 2003, we just used "steinke hoods", which is a small hood with air inside that gives you 40 lbs of buoyancy, but recently (I believe this is after I got out in 2003 when they started using these) they started using a fully body suit instead. Invented by the British. If it folds up small enough for a submarine hopefully it would fit under the aircraft seat! Check it out, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_Escape_Immersion_Equipment
