    sorry to drift also…

    Dunsfold.. Its expected that the housing dev is going to start approx 2009 all to plan.. Top Gear are moving out of there shorlty..

    In regards to the 747… i may be wrong.. but i recall the 747 been an ex BA and the Air Atlanta Europe logo was only printed on one side due to some promo.. The 747 is apparently owned by Dunsfold estate now. 18 months ago the plane did not have any logo on either side..

    thats crazy as well as bad ground crew communction work…

    Luckly he would of been ok down in the hold and he could of looks after the pets in the hold!!

    However could of not imgine the amount of issues he would have landing in the US… its bad enough when you have all your documents let alone trying to explain you came in the hold of a plane!!

    just going a little off topic… sorry..

    but… the 747 at Dunsfold..

    Sadly now a relic of the past, this former BA 747-236B resides at Dunsfold Park for use as a film prop/set.

    One thing to add… its going to be intresting shortly as Dunsfold Park has now been sold and the site is to be covered by a housing devlopment..

    Incidentally, flying recently with easyJet to and from Edinburgh, we’ve been allowed to use our phones as soon as we’re on the ground. But yet, easyJet into Gatwick the phones must stay off until we’re inside the terminal :confused:

    Regards

    I have noticed now with most airlines and PAX.. once you are on the tarmac.. that means phones turn on… (i think PAX think.. im on the ground now so who cares… the fact is that the flight crew are not really bothered as there looking for a quick turn around and have more important roles to carry out..

    Also… i once remember that once you are on the ground you are still in “no mans land” until customs. so in thoery, no contact with the outside world should be made?? as there are no public pay phones before customs?

    I have been on a few flights, mostly business city hopping and have heard many text message tones going off in flight… i dont mind flying, however i would perfer to drive, but when you can see the flight stw/crew ignoring the fact and not apporching the indivual that get my back up…. why should Mr Joe Bloggs sat in row 10 think no rules apply to him!!! if he wants to leave his phone on.. get a private jet!!

    in regards to Ryan Air.. i was on a flight with Ryan last weekend from Oslo Torp to LPL reading this in their onboard mag… I think its good that airlines over the past 10 years have always said NO to mobiles on flights.. to be honest if i leave my mobile at home when going to work i feel lost without it.. but i can live with it been off for a hour or 2 on a flight… i can not think of anything worse than sat on a flight listening to some one on a mobile sat next to me for a full flight!!!!

    HOWEVER…. I think it would be nice to have Wirless internet on planes as standard for my laptop… bit of surffing above the clouds???? im sure that would make the time fly!!

    In my opinion a change in title may be an idea….. ie – “Jet2 – 3 New Aircrafts”

    I dont know about other people but i reffer BREAKING NEWS as some sort of inicdent.

    Thanks
