    Ah, the A330. Best aircraft I’ve ever flown so far.

    One thing about the some of the new generation of aircraft people rave on about, they have poor field performance when compared to older jets.

    The 738 is a runway muncher when compared to the older 732

    The underpowered A321 is a runway hog when compared to the beautiful classic 757.

    The reason so many of these new jets are not as good for STOL is they are underpowered stretched derivatives like 321 and 738, the aircraft I most dislike by the way!

    Eh, well I don’t think the B738 is meant to be a better performer in this respect to the B732 considering it’s bigger and heavier, so that’s a pointless comparison. IMHO.

    is it parked on the grass…or the taxiway at a lower level?

    It’s on the taxiway.

    When?

    Not sure, someone on here will know. You know who you are! 😉
    Could be next summer? My guess.

    The Hertz logojet is the one which had the incident at ‘Brussels’ a few months ago.

    Some excellent choice there, especially Oasis and Muse. You could be right about Origin of Symmetry. As for me, well, it’s going to look quite pitiful next to your’s but my most recent purchases are:

    Franz Ferdinand(self-titled) ( Such a unique sound, and a good one at that)

    Muse- Absolution ( very good, and my first Muse album)

    Guns ‘n’ Roses- Greatest Hits ( you can tell it’s quality because of the length of all the tracks on it! Can’t beat a guitar solo by Slash either, that’s for sure! 😀 )

    Snow Patrol- Final Straw( great album IMO)

    The “don” passed away after slipping on a kerbstone and falling onto the ground, he’d been taking an anti blood clotting drug following heart surgery, which apparently made a seemingly simple jolt to the system fatal ?

    He was given a “state” funeral at Glasgow Cathedral attended by the great and the good from all over. I was one of about twenty cameramen broadcasting it live across the world. You must have been having yer tea at the time Danairboy? (lol) 😀

    Such was his popularity, he now has his own statue in Glasgow’s Buchanan Street…

    I see that in that pic, the obligitary cone is missing from the top of his head, and his glasses are intact…. 😉
