My fondest memories of working in the industry are, without doubt, my own Business Air days, Darren. Four lovely years under the wing of Ian Banham in the Revenue Accounts Department at Dundee Airport. If it hadn’t been for the fact that we were losing our jobs, at some point, and that it looked like we would only be offered positions in the Isle of Man with Manx, I would have hung around. Not the best paid job in the World, but certainly the one I had most fun in. I laughed to myself the other week when I read your comments about the Swiss chocolate bars being removed from the II flights – they were apparently quite expensive for what they were.

Nice pics!! Love the BD DC9’s and that Balkan ‘scary thing’!

You know, I’d have to confess that Loganair would be my ideal airline to work for these days. A regional airline based in my Homeland – what could be better? Having gradually moved on from small airline to slightly larger airline then to Monarch, I now really miss working for a regional airline. It’s just so much more fun and people pull together that little bit more. It feels like a better job done at the end of the day.

If you look at the Monarch 757 shot, look to the left, you can see a Eastern Airways J41, I wonder what that was doing there? BTW – Excellent photography Tony!

Possibly a diversion from the MAN/STN service? That’s just a guess, mind.

Yes you can book online, they tell you your flight will cost £24 million, then by the time it’s ready it’s shot up to £240 million ! (lol) :dev2:

Tee-hee! :diablo:

How about an all tartan fuselage with a big thistle on the tail??? Oh come on – you know you want to Sandy?

I always thought that the (old) Tour Operator name ‘Thistle Air’ would make a great name for a Scottish Airline.

Over the past 4 months, we’ve steadily seen WizzAir’s route network and frequencies increase at LTN. BUD is now more or less three a day, WAW twice a day, GDN once a day and KTW twice a day. The other morning on the way to work, there were three WIZZ A320 on the ramp at LTN at the same time. Got to say, they have a fantastic livery. Everytime I look at their flights, they are always way more expensive than EZY. I hope that greed/over-optimism isn’t their downfall.

Another fabbo report Sandy – nice piccies too. Not a bad looking lunchbox you’ve got there! :rolleyes: , but enough teasing – give us the details of your bumpy ride into NAS

German joke (a contradiction in terms?) for Sandy – was it naß in NAS? I’m sorry I couldn’t come up with anything better, forgive me! 😮
