Good Friday at Bournemouth

Skycruiser,

I live in Ferndown when I am in the UK, although I have been working in China for 2 years now. Lucky you in Hong Kong! I get there as often as I can.

I used to live on Lone Pine Drive, now my parents living off Boundary lane.

Small world mate.

I am from Bournemouth aswell, I did all my commercial training out of Hurn. It’s a great airfield.

Merlin,

Where are you from? I see you are working in China! I am in Hong Hong.

Great Pics, interesting to see another airport being represented on the forum 🙂

Look further up the thread, it says that 757s frequent BOH.

A320s are slightly smaller than a 737-800.

ah.

I take it the 737 is the biggest aircraft using Bournemouth??????

Isn’t the A320 bigger than the 737??

Besides, I think I saw a 757 fly over head once…not sure on that though. :confused:

I think ‘WC’ was a weather diversion as was VP-BSD – Jersey was a bit foggy.

VP-BAT 747SP is often there so it can take the heavy stuff. Has also had AN124’s carrying Nimrod fuselages. 8000ft runway now so can take most things.

That would have been the LTN-GCI-JER and would only have diverted if JER and GCI where fogbound then!

Like the pic of ‘OU’ after coming back from the Channel Islands – not quite sure what ‘WC’ the SH36 was doing there – not a scheduled service but they go in there for MX from time to time.

I believe that 757’s frequent Bournemouth in the summer months. Bournemouth is/was the home for EAL’s 747’s but I believe? the runway is too short for them to operate when loaded. Also, Concorde would do pleasure flights from time to time when it was still gracing our skies. I believe Bournemouth very rarely closes due to fog and so often acts as a diversion for some of the bigger airports.
