Wow! Remember seeing G-SCSR in EXC’s first couple of weeks of operation at MAN. Probably one of my favourite liveries ever.
Great photos
Excellent photos! I really like the Viking.
I’m not sure what it was doing at T1, but it was TF-ARE. TF-ARD was also present.
Makes sense considering Tui (HLX’s owner) now also owns Coventry Airport.
They are a new startup with a leased 762 to provide Air Slovakia with ACMI flights to India.
summer hasnt come yet aparently russel grant said that mid august to october it will be hot so book ur holiday to uk for that time and get away from your cold countries 🙂
Is he being paid by the British tourist board or someone? 😀 But seriously, nice photos, especially the Tu154. I’m still reeling from missing one at Man on Sunday 🙁
I’ve been on a couple of MYT 320’s. In general the legroom and comfort levels are average for a charter flight. MYT do have IFE (I think a charge is made for the adaptor / headphones).
The Comet was before the 707 yes.
But the 707 didn’t have a habit of tearing itself apart in cruise. The comet didn’t do nearly as much for the aviation world as the 707 did, sadly.
My only reason for posting this, which is clearly a Boeing press release, was to indicate the contribution which the company has made to the development of commercial aviation notwithstanding the Comet’s place in history.
Wow! These are pretty amazing I have to say. Much better than the present livery
.
Very sad. So sad to hear this, particularly as he had already accomplished so much.
Thats just bloody stupid. I mean, if it was an AF 747 going from NCL-CDG, then onto Mauritius, that would be OK. But anybody could fly to Paris fro NCL then onto anywhere in the world.
Sheffield City Airport (SZD) opened in 1998 and KLM inaugurated flights to AMS. Following the launch of SZD-AMS services, the city was full of KLM adverts proclaiming services direct from SZD to destinations such as San Fran, Jo’burg and Hong Kong. Of course, all were via AMS which was only apparent if you read the small print 🙂
Thanks for the comments. By the way, did anyone manage to get the reg of the BGH Tu-154 which landed at approx 15:20 or know where I could get it from? I was in the enthusiast shop at the time and completely managed to miss it 🙁
According to Airliner World, easyJet is again allowing airports to compete for routes for 2004/5. Routes Ljublijana, Budapest, Cologne, Basle, Berlin etc were opened after a similar exercise last year. The airport has to be able to offer a 20 min turnaround time.
Great pictures. PMI on a summer afternoon must be one of the most varied airports in the world. Love the Air Berlin and Air Europa, plus the new Maersk livery. Oh and the jet2 doesn’t look bad either!
