think it should have been G-DHJZ an ex MyTravel A320
G-DHL??
Does this mean Thomas Cook have leased a freight A320 and rammed as many seats as possible in????????
in 1978 i was on a boat crossing from Nissaki to Corfu town and a Dan Air comet did its final turn to approach the airport right above us
its seemed so gracefull and then we never knew that just over 2 years later the last commercial flight would occur
thanks longshot
imagine that pod turned by 90 degrees and planted with red and yellow tulips
when the Cosford BA 707 was scrapped a few years back i asked Alton company if i could get an RR intake from a Conway, and one of the jet pods from the rear, the reply was yes, but the price received serious eyebrow twitching from my wife, hence my garden aircraft museum has should we say never got off the ground!!!!!!
back in 2007 on our Antigua trip i was mightie releaved to see that our BMI flight was first to arrive, as Friday afternoons were busy there then
as within half hour a fully laden Firch choice 767 would arrive and also the scheduled Virgin 747
those passport girls in Antigua only had one speed (slow)
luckily for us we were through and in the minibus to the hotel in 40 mins
some of the Virgin lot took 2 hours to get through in the heat
slighty off at a tangent
photo guys need to make the most of the last 11 months flying at Filton
i know i will miss the BAE flights from Walney Island and been able to walk into the MoD head quarters at Abbeywood
the BMI A330s were quite hard worked on on Caribbean, Vegas and Chicago routes from Manchester originally, the closure of the Man long hual routes in 2009 was a great loss to our part of the country and the crews who flew the routes too!
i did a Man to Antigua return flight and the service was second to none
there was one incident where a main undercarriage strut was cracked and it took quite some time to get a replacement, this was put down to hard landings at Antigua and Barbados it was about 2006 i think.
never mind the spey’s as a child of 6 its was frightening going up the rear steps with noise of the APU
the courtline one brings back happy memories of me as a child aged 6 being taken on a Clarkson escorted tours of Austria in about 1970 and 1971
we flew to Munich from Luton i think once and maybe Manchester another time.
read the question guys it said out of HEATHROW
Plymouth may have been shortest but gone now
this one’s a virgin i think
no mention of this crash in Aviation Safety Network database
makes you think they didn’t want it flying? compared to how fast Thomson fixed their old 767 in situ at Bristol
i agree but there was never any competition so never any really cheap fares
