Then what’s the point in leasing an aircraft when it holds nearly the same as the 737? I can’t understand it :confused:

Hhmmm. Let me think. To get another aircraft maybe?

Usually if an aircraft is needed short term or at short notice.

Ryanair take short turnrounds to the next level.

BAE146 😮 I hear these planes aint too nice to go on

I don’t mind the 146, it’s just a little unusual I suppose.

It is very quiet outside, but some argue that’s because they pipe the noise into the cabin. There are some very strange noises when the flaps are moving, I guess due to the airflow down the outside of the fuselage changing.

The overhead locker space is fairly limited especially under the wing. The six across config is a little tight, but not unusual though, at least here in the UK. I’ve travelled on 146/RJ100 of Air UK, Dan Air, Loganair, Manx, Jersey European/British European/FlyBe and Cityflyer/British Airways/CitiExpress and they all had 6 across.

Did Caledonian not go to JMC then Thomas cook.

British Caledonian Airways, whose DC10’s are in these photos, merged into British Airways.

British Airways then used the name Caledonian Airways on it’s charter division. In due course this was sold, and yes, eventually it did become part of JMC.

ps Greekdude: I can see how you might think these old pics of LGW could be parts of present day MAN.

MAN doesn’t look like it’s changed much. Nice photos. Love that Air Florida DC10.

Those were taken at LGW greekdude, and it’s changed a great deal since then.

Looks like some of the pylons have some sort of air intake, whilst the others don’t.

Just a guess though.
