He is giving a statement and all we can see is cameras!
Ooh! A bit of his head and maybe an eye! And the reporter lost her earpiece!

What a screw up!

Flood.

That’s freelancers for you. As of tomorrow, I will officially have worked for the corporation one day longer than Greg Dyke.

That is a shame, I firmly intended flying to Cork with them soon.

Not likely.

I think those million pound bonuses may be paying for T5 right now ?:D

Ren, I’m not down to TFS until the week after. I am rostered to spend most of next week on a beach in Banjul.

My beach is better than your beach!:D

I agree Mike,

When challenged it’s best to politely move on. After all the guy that’s moving you on is only following orders in most cases and probably couldn’t care less about you taking pictures, from his point of view.

I got moved on from the rubble hill near 05 at GLA recently. The BAA guys really had no right as technically I was within the public realm. They chose to advise me to move on in the interests of my safety, quoting H&SE regs that I’m well aware of through my job.

I moved on without an argument, if I’d challenged them I suspected I’d see a large wire fence and “keep out” signs the next time I visited. I’ve been there many times since, needless to say.:D

The problem with that would be that it would now become a 2 sector day for the crew which would impose a greater restriction on the maximum flight duty time they can work. This may be a problem for west coast services.

Yes indeed, the other burning issue amongst us GLA fellows is as too when BAA will lengthen the runway suitably and expand the possibility of such long haul, single day sectors from GLA ? We need some more wide-body stands too. There’s no real reason AFAIK why GLA shouldn’t be rivalling Manchester by now, other than BAA’s reluctance over the past decade to commit itself to a proper and real expansion policy.

An A340-300 might be a bit runway length challenged out of GLA with transaltlamtic fuel and a full load. Can’t say for sure until I get to check the figures.

That appears to be the general conscensus round here Wys. Some were expecting a GLA-MAN combined service using a partially laden 343 from GLA to MAN.

Probably on e-bay, after all you can get an aircraft carrier on there.

At BAA airports you need their permission to take photos, from the terminal or airside. There are usually signs stating this and this rule has been around for many years, since at least 1988.

Yes but I can happily snap away at most airports unhindered (Belfast City excepted). The difference with Railtrack is that they like to enforce their policy whereas BAA don’t seem to get too upset about photographers in the terminals.

I’d need written permission for that as well no doubt ? 😀
