Cheers Guys,
When I arrived the Sun was very low and behind some Clouds, so it was very dark , Two aircraft landed in front of it and Three departed , so I was kind of concerned that the light would have gone by the time it arrived ,
The sun was just clippingthe hills we i noticed it on appproach, so up went the iso , Ithink the first few shots were about 100 @5.6, and as it came down the runway the light got a bit better, thank god for RAW
Kevin 🙂 🙂

Why not all boeings? I would assume EIN went for all airbus because of the A330s and A320s already in fleet. If it had been B747s and B737s at EIN it would be all Boeing i bet…. (i imaginge long haul fleet was biggest deciding factoR)

EIN Had both until Mr Walsh took over and he dcided to switch to All Airbus,most of BA staff reckon he will do to BA what he did to EIN

I don’t think BA will be particularly worried about buying the A380, purely from the point of view of prestige? If they are worried about losing customers to Virgin because of this then a simple “competitive pricing promotion” should sort that out.

Nor do I believe the average Joe Bloggs traveller is particularly aware of, or cares about what aircraft type they fly on, so any A380 novelty factor will be short lived in my opinion. Perhaps as suggested BA may look to the big bus whenever their current long haul fleet becomes obsolete, but of course they may just look the new 747 range instead if at all?

As for BA never being a launch customer again… ? Would the launch of the 757 be the last time this happened, and do airlines (now or before) receive any kind of incentives to help “iron out the bugs” so to speak ?

I Know that the BA were pushing for the 747Advanced , but this again this was before Mr Walsh showed up

IIRC it was just a couple of issues ago in Flight that BA said they plan to start considering the case for A380 operation next year. This is just consideration and will be looked at alongside alternative Boeing options. They will also be assessing the later variants of the A346.

Now that Mr Walsh Is in charge , I would guess that he would be looking to go down same road as Aer lingus and May be Have an all Airbus Fleet , it certainly seems to have worked well With Aer Lingus

I think it was Old Bob That said that BA would not be considering the A380 for at least 3 Years after it had entered Service , Reason cited were the fact BA was not due to replace their existing aircraft and it Would give Airbus time to Iron out any Problems, He also said that BA would never again be the launch Customer for any Aircraft
Emirates Have suggested that may use the 380 on the Heathrow-Dubai route, with 800 seats and offering a Price of about £200 return, now if this happens Then you might see BA taking a look at it , Time will tell

So then the guys at Vulcan to the Sky are wasting their time. The Olympus will never fly!! My mate pointed this out. :p

AJ

The engines used in Concorde were Decertified ,this means that they are no longer considered fit for Flying ,I know That East Fortune were considering Keeping the engines maintained so that she could do Taxi runs, but I would suspect that the cost and the lack of spares curtailed that idea
