forget about Concorde ever operating in a silver livery… it would need to be white, because of the heat build up at Mach 2.

aye, but his name was Mannering, not Mainwaring… that’s just what Jones always called him.

I don’t think it’s a former Condor aircraft… it still is! (well, Thomas Cook, anyway)

had a look at the LH timetable, and the flight to Atlanta, LH444/445, is down as being operated by DE (Thomas Cook powered by Condor).

I’m interested to see that LH award Miles & More miles on all DE flights.

Anyway, GD, you must be about the only person on the board that likes the new Star Livery…

lol.

no Stereotyping please, Mr Mainwaring…

(ok, you don’t quite work in a Bank, but still… :p)

nah, you should turn the lights off, so you don’t get silhouetted when you walk past lit doorways…

If DHL are only just acquiring them, they’re hardly likely to be painted in teh old livery, are they… so, yes, if they’ve only just got ’em, they’ll be in yellow. 🙁

I was on the Herald of Free Enterprise a couple of months before she sank at Zeebrugge, I know what you mean about it feeling strange… 🙁

Worst delay I’ve ever had personally was about 4 or 5 hours at GLA in January 98, becuase of high winds at LHR, and consequently several runways being shut. Our British Midland 737 was only just leaving GLA when we reached the lounge on it’s previous rotation. Got into LHR to discover our connecting flight to ZRH had just left (it too was about 3 hours late), ended up getting put up at the Sheraton in Hounslow (or Windsor, somehere like that, anyway), and got the 7am BD flight next morning (so we couldn’t even really enjoy the hotel…:() And I was a day late for my skiing trip [with Swiss school], too… 😡

Strangest reason for a delay was probably being loaded onto a US Airways 757 at PIT, and then the captain telling us we’d be delayed as the bathroom light bulb needed changed… :rolleyes:
