at what date in time did we move away from the Ailines actually buying their aircraft, as opposed to leasing them? 1975 maybe?
excellent shame it doesn’t do 360
looks like mosy of the Virgins have been in the spray shed for the new metallic plum red colour
go on here’s a challenge for someone
if you put all 7000 nose to tail how far would the line stretch
be sure to account for the short length of the 100 series
lol
could Bruce Dickinson not do a concert or 2 to raise some cash
flew on an Inex-Adria DC9 from Pula myself in 1973
great nostalgia shots, when you could turn up at an airport and see more than 6 types of aircraft that were easily recognisable
lets not forget also that Thomas Cook has some A330s that are ex Airours and must be at least 13 years old and used excessively
anyone remember the BA 1-11 that landed at the wrong Belfast airport
and i don’t mean the City one!!!!
if its anything like Virgin
when any aircrew turn up to use the flight, you get bumped from the seats you picked, because they know they are the best seats
used to happen regular to my friends on the Gatwick-Antigua run
well i hope the leg room is more than the TCook 757-300 i went on 18months back, that was awfully tight, especially for a ski flight where most people have big coats with them. On return flight the extra leg room booked by some had been given to those with obvious injuries, which meant a 6 foot 6 guy was struggling as he could not sit down in the seat he had been given!
you might get the BAE king air flights there in about 18 months time if Filton shuts as planned
any news on that?
as a 16 year old i pleaded with my parents to get me a ticket on the last Dan-air Comet flight
but alas they did not
i am sure a flight crew in the 80s were suspended for lining up to land on the A4 at Heathrow!!!!!!
the F27 looked better with big windows
why is it always Manchester long haul that suffers
i never got over BMIs A330s leaving.
there again with having to be there 3 hours early for LH flights its not worth paying extra for local!!!!!!
