i find it weird when i was listening to my airband scanner it said that a flight was coming in and the call sign was kestrel 746

so i was thinking right ok here comes a mytravel but a thomas cook ended up arriving lol

Great shots there mate, Cimber and 2nd Jet2 have to be the best from the bunch.

Cheers

Si nice pics that dorsal antenna is the new VOR receiver for Fokker aircraft

Don’t really want to get involved in this discussion, however in military aviation we rob all the time to keep aircraft operational.

We know that isn’t uncommon practice, Si. It’s just one of those cases of people saying things which arn’t entirely true just for the sake of it, or to try sound ‘clever’. If people really insist on attempting to show off how much inside technical knowledge they have (when they actually work at check-in), they could at least ensure the information they post is 100% accurate, and not third or fourth hand rumours. Something I learned very early in music was if you don’t know exactly what you’re talking about, keep yer gob shut!

Anyway, I wanna see more of that EK A330! 🙂

Interesting fleet Xmas tree.

‘AC’ went to QLA on Monday for a C-Check, with ‘AA’ now being the only 752 on base at NCL.

Perhaps a part “robbery” was undertaken to allow ‘AC’ to operate a service optimumly, but that would be common practice in aviation should somebody be trying to preserve hours or something alike. Planes go tech – and companies go for the optimum fix.

“Fleet Christmas tree” – there’s an example of someone giving a false perception of thinking they’ve got a clue of whats going on – it’s a good job most of you’re companies bods have a decent understanding of the game!

How to win friends and influence passengers eh!

I agree, and why would you post such things on a public forum when you work on behalf of the airline?

she spent last week getting some maintance done and been raided for parts to keep G-LSAC flying!

I’ve been very reliably informed that isn’t the case. Where do you hear these rumours?! 🙂

Great shots! 🙂

I think the Merge became offical on Monday when The new company started trading.

Lovely Shots!

The TCX B752 would have replaced a MYT A320 (I imagen) since the merge took place a couple of weeks ago!

Superb work as usual, Si. Very nice to see some excellent shots of the EK A330. Not an aircraft I’m used to seeing from them!

Paul

Nice shots Si like the 56 sqn F3 ,Nimrod shot and the New Fokker 70 😀

Great set of shots from the local mate!!

Good to see G-LSAA back in the air. Little G-THOO is a loverly little Jet aint she think were swapping her for a 738 soon!

Ek shot is the pick of the bunch for me!
