    Emirates?

    Yes, sorry EK=Emirates, Emirates=EK. Anyway, that’s what I think to.
    I suppose it would have been AF or VS but they have delayed their deliveries.

    Well I’m due to go on Tuesday, but it’s looking bleak at the minute as my dad’s just been rushed into hospital. Oh well, there is always December! 😀

    I hope everything’s ok!? 😮

    what a treat.. I missed em all 🙁

    anyone fancy meeting up at Edi tomorrow? 12noon at spooks

    It’s the airshow at East Fortune tomorrow, so expect quite a few interesting movements if you do pop along.
    I wouldn’t mind, but there is the small matter of transport, and dragging myself out of my pit! 😮

    Air Transat?

    Yes! 😀 Excellent, and I’m finally coming round to their new livery, even though that particular one is still in the old one.

    and where does he get the money from!

    It’s a shame to see that British Airways are pulling their 757s out of service or something along those lines.

    When I flew BA 1465 back in December, we were flying on G-CPEO down to Heathrow from Edinburgh. I remember there was some speculation at the time of the flight though, with many forum members saying they would be surprised if it was actually a 757 flying the route. Whilst shopping for flights a couple of days ago, I came across this same flight with British Airways. The service is now operated with an A319.

    Is this just a seasonal change or is it a sign to suggest that the 757s are on their way out?

    They chop and change a lot I think, the 752s may well just have been put on other flights to EDI and beyond! 🙂

    Thanks RIP, photo was great! Thoses videos are great. I thought the mini concorde vid was funny. You must have to be skilled to fly those!

    That’s just what I thought. He must scare the sh!t out of himself everytime he lands it for fear of crashing it!
    Thanks for the comments all! 🙂

    Imagine the cost of lessons in EDI from an LBA based instructor. Ouch!

    Indeed!
    BSM were very good at the Birmingham Motor Show, plus the freebies they handed out are also an enticement.
    Good marketing ploy by them.
