Nice pics Andrew. Very good pics, main thing letting you down seems to be the lack of zoom on the camera, which can’t be helped!
Hotel Beatriz Playa.
Very, very nice 4 star Hotel, not cheap though!
Just uploaded the first batch of pics, if anyones interested you can go here to see them.
Yep, was down there a few times during the holiday, gives something interesting to look at when the airports quiet! :p
a.net always tells us the airline etc, but I wonder how the photographer knew whos it was! Doesn’t look like you could tell from the initial picture.
My worst delays have always been with Airtours.
EMA-ACE 6 hours
ACE-EMA Not delay but unscheduled stop in Nantes
But the worst was an 11 hour delay flying MAN-MLA. Annoying thing is that they kept telling us it would be 2 hours blah, blah, blah. The aircraft (ex Excalibur A320, I’m pretty sure) went tech in Cyprus I think, so it was bloody obvious it would be longer than 2 hours!
The 11 hour delay was only as short because our party kicked up a fuss and they put us on a Britannia flight that went out on time! Don’t know what the others eventually flew out on a few hours later.
Bit of a surprise I ever wanted to fly with them again, but I just got back with them today, ontime departing and early arriving on both flights, so maybe they’ve improved!
Very sad news, my dads flying on her in a few weeks, even more of a lucky git now!
Would be great if Virgin did try to make a go of it, with no Air France flights it could be profitable from LHR I’m sure. Reading the a.net postings it seems hes offered £1 for each aircraft, apparently the same amount that BA paid for them.
To be honest I would love to see a Virgin Concorde but I would be very, very surprised if it actually happened, probably just a Branson publicity stunt.
Wasn’t it on the Manchester Orlando flight for a short period?
We flew back on an A340 the first year they operated the route, two days later it was changing to the 767 in I remember correctly. May have operated Gatwick at some stage as well but I can only remember the MAN flight.
Photo above wasn’t taken from the balcony, it wasn’t quite that close! Not a bad trip, had a nice break, a bit of sun and a few planes, can’t be bad.
Not got any pics on Plane Mad yet, only just got back really, got 3 days to go through them though so hopefully get some up over the weekend.
Only really approach shots from the balcony, still not bad though.
Bit late for April fools mate!
Some of these look excellent, the power of photoshop!
Staying at the Beatriz playa which is right next to the airport! Requested the best room so should be able to take pics from my balcony 🙂 .
I’ll probably be down on that beach for most of Wednesday, my flight on Thursday is at about 1250 I think, pretty early when you consider what time I’ll have to leave the Hotel.
Keep a look out for someone with a green camera bag but I think we may just miss each other.
Go on Thursday for a week, so I go back the day after you get there!
I like the colours but have to disagree with T5.
I think the cargo titles look good, they are nice and bold and fit on the aircraft well, unlike the star colours that are just stick like and crap!
Be sad to see them go, all thses charters having the same cs is making it a little less interesting when you go abroad!
Have all the JMC aircraft been painted? I think theres a few Condor around and certainly a few in an interim scheme. Hope to see a few of both in Lanzarote later in the week, may be the last chance!
As Kabir said the answers no.
The A380 will be bigger than the AN-124 but still smaller than the AN-225.
