Final DUB preperations

Hey everybody
Apoligies for starting a new thread but the down side of having Monday and Tuesday off is I have to work lates every day until then so you will have to excuse me if I fall asleep at some stage on Monday.

Basically what I need is a full list of what time everybody is arriving so I can know how many times I need to go up and down to the terminal.

I can only take 3 at a time but dont mind as long as everybody meets me on the departures level rather than me parking down in the car park each time Ive to go up.

I wont be charging taxi fares lol but would ask for some in flight magazines from EI and FR and any other airline if anyone is flying them.

I look forward to seeing you all and Im sure it will be a great day.

I was looking for this thread!

I’d like to join in and also thank everyone for a great day, shame about the weather but it’s one of those things. And many thanks again to Andrew (Shamrock) for all of his efforts in ferrying us around.

I shall hopefully have a few photos up tomorrow, I’m trying to edit through a backlog of photos currently.

Hey guys, it was a good day out. Bit cold at times, but thank god for the hire car as i needed to have a sleep mid afternoon (poor old sod).

The day made me 15 new frames, so well worth it.

Looking at a mailing list last night, i saw that a private 74SP was in the hangar with the doors open and a pair of Agean 73’s were in the same area. I never thought of driving around the back (typical).

Gary and i flew out on DHO and managed to sit in 1A and B thus having a great view of the stewardesses legs. Gary is allededly still sedated in Bolton general.

When climbing out we saw a Star Air B762F on the cargo ramp. Anyone able to identify this frame?

Ok then guys, where next? Cologne should be easy enough for most of you??

Lee

Another one who got DHO, ok that makes 4 of us I think who flew on DHO at some point throughout the day! lol When you consider how many B738s FR have in their fleet, for all of use who flew them yesterday to only get about 3 different regs must be quite a co-incidence. 😉

Nah you two just somehow got talking about Back to the Future, DC-9 tails breaking off and decapitations, can you blame us!? 😀

Well…Not really 🙂

Just for fun, here’s how s**t the weather was. Andrew (who actually managed to get off his rock) and Mark look on curiously at a distant blob in a dark and grey sky…

Guess you’re never safe behind the camera. 😉

Andrew has near death experience by standing an inch away from a busy road. 😉

Heres a shot of most of the attendees. Sadly AndrewM doesnt know how to use a camera so both me and him ended up out of shot. Dan has some rather scary ones of both of us though I think!

Well done Mark, you managed to take that shot while I wasn’t attempting to fall off the back of the mound!

Andrew…Me? Go for a pint? Never! Well…Yeah OK I’ll be up for a beer if you’re around. We’ll see if we can manage to talk as much random nonsense as we did yesterday. I think Tom and Mark may have been a little scared… 😀
