What’s the yellow and blue livery behind the BE Q400?

It had no gear so it had to be resting on something.

Yes I’d rather grasped that, but Lancaster said the aircraft “is NOW on sleepers” as if this was a new thing. That’s what I was questioning.

Yeadon Aerodrome has been a part of Yeadon a lot longer than the vast majority of the community around it ….. those annoying people who moves near an airport and then whinges at being able to hear planes.

These have always been my thoughts on airport/aircraft nimbys. I would challenge you to find me more than a handful of people who have lived near a major UK airport since before the airport opened.

Interesting that these people never mention how much quieter most aircraft (even noisy dirty 757s) are now compared with say the early 90’s due to quieter aircraft. When I had 732s 727s 1-11s DC9s etc flying past my house it was far noisier than it is now.

They also never mention the economic benefits that a thriving airport brings to an area.

That said, one argument he does have right is that airport development should be supported by local infrastructure development.

Na don’t reckon so, Dickie Branson owns 20% of the company he’s well able to deal with any of the big boys

Cloud 9, if you talking about specific experiences were they for pax travelling to the US? If so i would have thought this is more to do with the US immigration APIS policy than with Virgin.

On most flights we have name change comments in pax bookings, eg: Bloggs/Joo Mr (First name should read Joe)

However this is not permitted on flights to the US. All bookings must have the full name as shown in the passport.

I would imagine most (if not all) airlines charge for such changes.

I don’t think we’ve ever had a trip report give details of No2’s before!

Glad to hear you enjoyed your BA flights.

Surely that’s a diversion rather than an emergency landing.
