    That really is a nice shot mate. I think that digital work is taking far more pleasure and skill away from the true art of Photography.

    Ah the old days! Furtive fumbling under a raincoat being
    nothing more sinster than loading/unloading a spool of
    film! 😀

    The quality of slide film is still largely unsurpassed but
    digital is catching-up fast.

    Image manipulation being the new skill.. 😎

    Quite right, they don’t know the person – taking precautionary steps – how are the staff to know that the people a normal, truthworthy people? Any tampering or suspect tampering of a passport must not be overlooked. I think you are all getting worked up about it, especially since we never saw the state of the original passport! ’nuff said…

    Anyone here got a pristine passport? :rolleyes:

    Mine looks like it has suffered from the dozen or so ‘stamps’..How much does it cost to get a replacement.?

    That is bloody outrageous!

    The My travel stavel willfully destroyed an official state document, and are not compensating the holder. A small kink in the laminate ok, perhaps grounds to look at the passport a bit closer, but ripping it open was not called for.
    The staff member responsible should be put up on charges of willfull vandalising of official state documents.

    Doesn’t work that way Sandy…pax cannot call security
    and demand an arrest… Is it me or are the most menial of
    airport grades suddenly got POWER? :p

    Aer Lingus name their planes after Irish saints and Lufthansa after german cities.i bleive Iberia call theirs after Spaniards and KLM after world cities.

    Perhaps BA should name theirs after footballers? 😀

    And while we’re at it are there any shining examples of top class fields you’d like to mention and why ?

    From a passenger view…Fanning Field (IDA) Idaho Falls,
    Idaho. It’s the most stress-free, friendliest airport I have
    ever experienced. 😎

    Hey great photos and thanks! Good that you picked G-CELU that i’ve flown on 🙂

    I didn’t know that but your enthusiasm for Jet2 is
    legendary.. B.mused is 757-crazy and Ren-Frew’s was chosen because of its GLA connections.

    I’m touched! 😀 Are all the pics your own? Love the Concorde.
    I’ll never forget all the times I saw it. Especially at EDI on the final day.
    Shame I never got to fly it. 🙁 As a passenger, or as my aim in life- to pilot it.

    All my own… my aim in life to be an engine driver was
    achieved.. not enough career years to become a pilot.. 🙁

    You’ll never guess what Silver Snapper, after reading this on Tuesday, I saw one of these BAC boxes on approach into NCL!

    Didn’t Gill have some based there.? :confused:
