Even those travelling for ‘leisure’ instead of business opt for Edinburgh over Glasgow. I did! 😀

To quote the great Mr T…. “Damn fool!” 😀

Edinburgh is being marketed as a European and short haul airport by BAA and Glasgow as a long hauler and charter/lo-co airport.

Good luck to the Moscow service, and I may just force myself through to the midden again for a picture (lol):rolleyes:

Bhoy is right though about EDI gaining most of the treasure fund created by the Scottish Executive to encourage new routes. GLA has done all the work on it’s own, thanks to an excellent management team.

are there still ERJs in the old British Midland livery? Cause there is one in the background! Maybe this is a photoshop?

AFAIK there’s only one in the new livery, I flew on it from MAN last summer.

To (perhaps) settle an argument – it isn’t a Monarch Aircraft as we have none out on lease at the moment.

Any word on those A330’s getting painted yet Dean ?

Yes but Boeing have said that the 757 production orders are bieng stopped once all fulfilled orders have been delivered by the end of ’04 and a replacement will follow soon after.

The 757 was the 727’s replacement, this makes very little sense whatsoever.;)

2 meter wide (how do you call that in English.)

2 metres wide.:D

If it was in the desert it’s probably been bought up by the airline in Sharjah. Those bone yards provide rich pickings for bargain hunting airlines.

As for the Tristar working for Caledonian, presumably it’s ex BA ?

Has anyone else noticed Fred (what you want is a nice gigot chop) Elliot, the Coronation Street butcher’s cameo role in BOB ? I just noticed it recently.

Great pictures Andy, particularly the one of the Jag climbing away!:D Did you have to use much zoom to get pics like that? As I’d really like to go to DUB and attempt pics such as that, but I don’t think I have enough zoom (3X optical) on my camera to do it.

Have a look on your camera for the lens width Wannabee. It’s possibly going to be around 5mm at the wide end, the 3x optical factor will make it 15mm and as Andrew has said, you probably want to be in the region of 200-300mm at least for decent shots from that spot at DUB.
