Very impressive! Without any comparison, it is difficult to judge the size of the plane. Actually this is a radio controlled model with a wingspan of twenty one feet. Nice to see that the U.K. is a ‘prime’ contractor!

A bit of practice for the RAF re the Torrey Canyon might have done the trick.

Not forgetting the efforts of the Royal Navy or maybe they do want to forget that episode as a quarter of their 42 bombs failed to hit the target. anyway the purpose of that exercise was to dispose of the oil and I expect the RAF are a tad busy in other theatres at the moment. I think Devon County are very unhappy with the current situation where this catastrophe was dumped on their doorstep without a by your leave so I don’t think they would appreciate the remains being scattered over their seabed, not politically correct.

ChapsAnyone flown Air Transat recently? A week on Saturday I’m flying LGW-YVR and returning to GLA ten days later. I’ve heard various reports on Transat, most of them less than complimentary. I’m desperately hoping someone on this forum will say they have the comfiest seats, tastiest meals, hotest hosties etc. However, nine abreast in steerage class, no PTVs and French Canadian flight attendants make me wonder if we should have paid a bit more and gone BA :confused: :confused: :confused:

Spoke to the captain of the same flight a couple of weeks ago – the EET was 9hrs 21mins. So, assuming we don’t make any unscheduled stops in the Azores 😮

Have to agree with everything you say. Flew FRA – YHZ a couple of weeks ago, fortunately only a six hour flight, so bearable. One or two of the hosties are worth looking at a second time, searchez la femme.

Fuel problem, could ask to check the gauges but maybe not your most tactful approach. Fortunately had to change to a Condor flight for the return, what a world of difference to the positive.
