I’m booked on a British Airways Dash 8 for a little jaunt to MAN on Thursday May 12th. Anyone care to come along ? 😀

Ren, I just noticed this post 🙁 If I’d had seen it before I would have come down. I was on an unoffical holiday yesterday…..Hangover.
How was the Dash 8?

First time on one, liked it more than the ATP.

I think Ren was right about the meeting of 2 rain gods causing the sun to shine 😎

Rain gods, eh? 😉

An absolutely great day out today, thanks to all concerned. How the hell did I manage to get sunburnt at MAN ? :confused: My face looks like a well slapped beetroot.
Report(s) and photos to follow… 😉 Now back to work. 🙁
Agreed Ren. It was a great day out. Thanks to all concerned from me as well. Hope we can organise a repeat soon. By the way, everyone has been asking me where I’ve been today as I look so tanned 😀

Sorry I couldn’t make it guys. Work got the better of me. Sounds like you had a great day. I look forward to the photos and report.

Certainly a nice day weather wise for you guys… makes a change!

No problem Preston, 😎
There’ll be another time. 😉
Hopefully – Paris!

Unfortunatly for the first time I’ve had to give backword on this call, had prior arrangments involving a PA28 id totally forgot about!
Soz chaps, maybe next time!

May have to go into the office later (after the runway switch again) as I’m going to be “working from home” – ahem!

Would that involve a lap-top and an ISDN line perchance ? 😀

Ewww! Nice day in prospect tomorrow then, and wind favours 06. I may well do MAN. If I make it, I’ll be south side until the switch at 12 (may catch Ren’s airplane landing then!), probably hang around for the Icelandair 757 going off to IAD at 12:20 (not confident it’ll be parked well for a good photo from the multi-storey car park), then drive round to the mutli-storey, the AVP or whatever – get there by 13:00 I’d guess.

It’s ok. I’m not that blind! 😀 Look forward to meeting you both tomorrow.
By: Ren Frew - 11th May 2005 at 21:38
LOL!! I’ll probably take a wander around that area in that case and see if I can spot the famous bag 😉
I’ll wear it on my head if it helps ? 😀
By: gpb_croppers63 - 11th May 2005 at 21:34
Near the bag shop….. 😉
But serously… I’m meeting Ren at T3 arrivals at 12-ish.

Just out of interest, where are you two meeting?
By: Ren Frew - 11th May 2005 at 21:27
And I’ll be identifiable as the bloke with the bloke who’s carrying one of those…… 😉
Just hope it doesn’t get nicked or we’re all doomed. :p

Lol Grey. I’ll be carrying a Deutsche Bahn black rucksack, as I’m sad enough to love German Railways!
