Spotted this link on Ringway Reports http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/web.nsf/Content/RunwayredesignationSo the runways changing to 23/05.Never seen this done before. Is this just happening at Manchester or other airports around the country?
Southampton is now 02/20, I believe it used to be 03/21 a few years back. Incidentally, Southampton used to have three runways!
Good day. I am in the process of doing a repair on an otherwise airworthy Vampire Mrk III. We had an incident in our hangar that caused some hangar rash to the LH Aileron and tab. The manual specs show the material to be D.T.S. 390 and SWG 20. It is identified as Alclad. Can anyone supply me a north american (Canada) equivilant? Cheers 🙂
Alclad (Aluminium Clad) is a sandwich of duraluminium between outer layers of aluminium and I hope that someone with more metallurgical knowledge than myself can help you a lot more. Below is a U.S. link for a supplier which may be of use. Welcome to the Forum and good luck with your project!

I can confirm that it was definitely MIA Airline’s YR-MIA. It flew in from Tripoli at around 4.00pm and departed when you saw it shortly after 5.00pm.
A fine machine indeed!
Thanks for the confirmation Peter, great site you have there! So can you confirm whether MIA have two or three in service? YR-MIA seems to be very busy!
Don’t you think that quoting just one single negative review is possibly the most utterly pointless and meaningless thing you could have done? Why not instead, for the sake of being fair, post a link to the reviews so that people can make up their own mind? :confused:

The link has been posted, you can read all the reviews. This particular review referred to the flight that PLYM is taking. Here is a nice one to give you a balanced opinion, quote, same site.
Excel Airways – by Ken Wilkins
20 November 2006
Bristol – Sharm el Sheikh in Economy. Check in was quick, the (leather) seats were comfortable with just about enough leg room, (I’m 6 feet tall). Flight service was more than adequate from a very hard working and courteous bunch of cabin staff with a good hot meal and plenty of snacks and drinks, all at extra cost but this is a budget airline. We had a couple of films going out and one coming back all for the price of £2.50 for a headset. Flights both ways were on time, we were even half an hour early getting back. All in all I was pretty impressed so well done Excel!
In the absence of any better candidates I will assume this is indeed the one in question.
Newforest, not sure my budget quite runs to chartering her – mores the pity!
Thanks chaps – seems no one else managed to take a photo of her yesterday either 🙁 .

Well MIA have three 1-11’s on strength although only two may be in service. The two flying are in different colours, so could have been the ‘other’ one.
Well, that is good news in that a decision was made and a stalemate did not occurr. The result will obviously not please everyone but the success of the mission overcomes all. More on the dilemma below.

Your flight XLA6032 also known as JN6032 left this morning at 9.12 GMT. It was scheduled as a 738. You must plan ahead as your flight is sixteen months away, can you buy tickets that far away?!
Could this be her Paul?
1L.
If it was, you can charter it and it was in Manchester last month.

Addt. info.
The photo has ‘Buster the Bear’ typed on it, top left corner, is this a clue?
Here is a picture of Derek taken in 2000, could be the same, IMHO!
not for much longer 😉
I doubt that any are flying now. They had ten DC-8’s and there are now none on the Ghanian register. The last photo of a flying DC-8 was taken at Luxembourg in September 2006.
Good and unusual report especially the view of the Napoli, (all containers off and waiting to be moved). Congratulations to your daughter on her graduation!:)

I just worked out it wasn’t even me that said it!! :confused: (
Good one Adam, now we can blame you for everything anybody said on any subject and you just hold your hands up!:D I mean, we can’t blame a Mod can we, they are infallible!
Just a tip for PLH, if you get hungry nip into Marjons for a snack and a cheap pint. Much better than the snack bar in the terminal. Look forward to your photos.
Not sure if he’s old enough for that yet!:D
