they’ve two main runs that run parallel,27R/09L & 27L/09R although there is a third smaller runway which is always never used the exception in extreme cross winds maybe?

I think it was 23/05, but it is no longer a runway.

What does this mean in terms of the First Choice and Thomas Cook merge that was being talked about? Down the drain or still a possiblity and creating an even larger group?

…………………….

Only let half through, would you prefer it if they let EVERYONE through? Not sure how that would work. :rolleyes:

BFS is remaining 737 for the next few years, until the 737s have gone.

It doesn’t carry “an aircraft” it carries component parts of (what will become) an aircraft, fuselage sections mainly…;) Most Boeing 747F’s open up via the nose and by a large cargo door near the rear end. I imagine this one does the same tricks ? 🙂

I believe it’s a ‘swing-tail’ as opposed the conventional side cargo door near the rear.

Nice shots, did you see Sky Europe’s OM-NGG 737 come in? It was on delivery to Bratislava and flew into Edinburgh direct from Boeing Field.

The flight routing BFS-STN was I believe low on fuel after holding for STN with their 60kt winds, by the time it gets back up to Liverpool area fuel is running low, but not running on fumes low.

Too many will believe that it was low on fuel and had to divert into LPL before even making it as far as STN, which didn’t happen, and certainly not today of all days with 100+kt tailwinds all the way across the Irish sea.

I thought runway 23 offically ceased to exist, and is now a taxiway?
