    As well as XT288 they appear to have a cockpit in the storage hanger. According to their website they are not sure if it is from XK533 or XN966.

    and every other airline factors the third party costs into their ticket prices, it is only Ryanair that is making a song and dance about it.

    your comment about free petrol and parking is ridiculous.

    my opinion

    I see you are quoting from a working paper, not a passed law.

    I am extrapolating my view from other implementations of law.

    If I buy an object, my contract is with the person who sold me the object, not with the manufacturer.

    If I buy a bus ticket, the contract is with the bus company, not the raod authorities

    If i buy a rail ticket, it is with the company who run the trains, not the company who own the rails.

    why should airline be any different?

    under consumer law, when you buy a ticket your contract is with the airline, NOT the airport. Hence it is the airline who is responsible for providing wheelchair support, which the airline contracts from the airport, and the airline is sued for the discrimination.

    fortunately the university I work for (probably more accurate to say ‘get paid by’;) ) runs a policy of ‘reasonable personal use of the networks. So as long as you don’t access ‘inappropriate’ sites they are ok about it. Biggest problem here is all the students clogging the system emailing each other with jokey images etc.

    wow, thats what i like about this forum, ask a questoin and someone who was there gives an answer. The Miles Student has been a favourite for many years (since the 60s 😮 ). I was fortunate to see her at Prestwick a couple of times. Can understand the underpower with the single Marbore, and a ‘leisurely’ flight.

    Many thanks

    oops – this is starting to sound expensive! 🙂 fortunately I’m already a member of the Shuttleworth SVAS. Being stuck in Glasgow it is difficult to get involved hands on, but a few quid here and there helps keep these birds where they belong.

    Anyone else? – come on you know you want to.
