LGW today?

Hi all please take a look at the pictures on Planepictures from LGW today 20/05/2003.

They are all flights from Italy… why were there so many… great mix of airlines, wish I had been up there today.

Is there something going on that I don’t know about?

Hi all, got a reply from paul Dopson this morning, (the guy who took the pics).

Here it is copied and pasted:

Hi Andrew,

No nothing as good as the Champions League final, there is a big Telecom’s
conference on today in London and this was the Italian contingent arriving.

Theya re all due out tomorrow (Thursday) so I’m hoping for much better
weather then!

Regards

Paul

According to the narrative on some of the planepictures.net snaps, the charters are on behalf of Telecom Italia.

I thought Wysiwyg was on his way up to Spain, for the UEFA cup?

See thats what I thought at first… must be the footy, but then I thought nah it can’t be, as its not until next Wednesday, and like EGNM said its up in MAN.

I have emailed the photographer to see if he can shed any light on it?

What about you Wys, do you have any idea, or were you not operating ut of LGW today?

Cheers all. 🙂

Maybe not then, just a thought. It might have been cheaper to fly into LGW as opposed to MAN, and then take a week to hike up there? :confused:

Could it have to do with the fact that both teams playing in the Champs League final are both Italian? When is that game anyway, I know the UEFA cup final is tomorrow.
