Here another two newbies! The Air Scotland one is very nice. And the Snowflake one isn’t as nice as I thought it would be. 🙁

You’re serious????
I guess the Shorts are the opposite of the ATP: technical people always defend them but as a passenger, they are truly awful!
They are the butt of jokes – ask any non-aviation fan about them and you always get “urgh”!

Yes it was Spirit of Sir Freddy after Freddy Laker and was registered G-VMIA. Virgin did also purchase a 200 G-VOYG of the leasing company although both these aircraft were subsequently broken up at Bruntingthorp and Kemble as far as I know.
Here’s a picture of the Highland Express aircraft being scrapped.

re highland express b747 100
if i am not mistaken that aircraft when it joined the virgin atlantic fleet it went to be name the sprit of sir freedy laker and was the only b747 owend compleatley by the airline outright and served the london to orlando route very very well

blood pressure rising…;)
Sinners the lot of you! Now where did I put my ‘on/off rant’ avatar!
I spent the day at GLA yesterday and saw the Air Scotland 757 looking very smart. Unfortunately the insiders in the industry give it 6 months…
Also the picture of the Highland Express 747 made me smile as I spent many hours working on that aircraft when it joined Virgins fleet.

The ATP is perfectly OK as a passenger!
I think the severe techincal failings of the aircraft have been pointed out a few times however.
By: EGNM - 27th March 2003 at 17:35
i think the ATP is a great aircraft – its differant – i’ll prob get a lot of stick for that due to it’s “Alternative Transport Provided”, or “Another Tech Problem” nicknames

Air Scotland looks alright, snowflake is a bit boring.
With all these new low costs around I think I’ll have to go to Palma or Malaga in the summer to see a few of them.
