One can only speculate that there is still something not quite right about 002, the return to Germany only adds further speculation as to the reasons why it was seen so little use in service.Alan Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978212147118040463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527884906539345905.post-80424029143298285452013-04-27T01:11:33.286+01:002013-04-27T01:11:33.286+01:00I'd be asking WHY it's not being used on p...I'd be asking WHY it's not being used on passenger duties as much, is there a physical difference between this unit and the rest?<br /><br />Ben2259https://www.blogger.com/profile/07419059045737423375noreply@blogger.com
