Hello everyone…sorry I haven’t been on for a while, but I have just got back from a week in Orlando, Florida. I was on a university trip, and basically went to MCO, SFB and ORL to have a look around, and get lectures from loads of the staff and airlines (namely Southwest!). Would of met Sir Freddie Laker on one of the days I was at MCO, however, his house was badly damaged by Hurricane Wilma, so he couldn’t make it – he did send our group an e-mail though, which was nice.
Got loads of great photos, even one of a TCD 747-300 at SFB – I was actually allowed onto the apron to take the photo as it came onto its gate 😮 😀 😎 ! Will post all my pics as soon as I have recovered – not had any sleep for almost 24 hours (even on flight, due to on-off turbulence!).
In case any of you really want to know, I flew with BA (G-VIIR both ways!) from LGW!

He’s had a run of 3-day trips with one day off in between so it could have been.

I was fairly sure it wouldn’t have been him on the inbound as he has already been to Harare and back since.
Well…I arrived at 07:30ish yesterday, so I very much dought it…what do you think to photos though?

Just curious…did you get the Captains name on your BA flights? My brother is now a BA 777 skipper and has just recently been in Orlando.
I can’t remember the name of the captain on the way there…but for the way back his first name was Brian, can’t remember his surname…sorry!

Well…here they are, what do you think. Please be nice, as these are my first photos I have ever taken of aircraft/airports! If you want to see more, you will have to e-mail me, as most of the other ones are too large to upload, unless someone can tell me how I can compress them…?
Regards,
Jonathan Davies
