RE: Spotting

No reason why not although you may have to pay excess baggage charges. Be prepared for them giving you some odd looks though!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-11-02 AT 10:48 PM (GMT)]It’s attached to the aircraft (if it was on the ground it would be in the middle of a taxiway right by a holding point, doh!) and Mongu’s right, it’s a tailstand to prevent it tipping back on its tail. They’re quite common on a lot of turboprops but I hadn’t seen a piston with one before.

RE: Wysiwyg

Dave – In 2001 we operated 10 A320’s with a mix of V2500 and CFM engines. In 2002 5 went to Thomas Cook Brussels leaving us with 5 all of the same engine type. This summer there have been 3 at Gatwick, 1 at Stansted and 1 at East Midlands. The 2 A330’s are 1 a piece at Gatwick and Manchester. The 5 that went were 2 from Manch, I from Luton, 1 from Bristol and 1 from Cardiff. Hope this helps.

Regards
Ian

RE: Channel Express

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-11-02 AT 11:26 PM (GMT)]Yes it’s a Herald. I heard that there were plans to dispense with the F27s and concentrate on jets. This would effectively rule out Channel Island operations leaving the door open for Aurigny. Have either of you Guerns heard anything along these lines?

RE: BAA Fire staff to strike?

Fire cover is defined into various categories. Each type for each operator will have it’s own category of cover required for that type to operate at that airfield. For example, out 757’s normally expect at least cat 7 for us to be able to operate but we are allowed by the CAA in exceptional circumstances to operate when cover reduces down to Cat 6. Below this we have to go elsewhere. In some airfields in Greece we have actually bought fire fighting equipment for the airfield operator to raise their category high enough to allow us to operate into there! The best RAF cover (as far as I have been told) is Cat 7 so you could operate a 757 but not anything much bigger.

RE: Unusual Weather Occurances

At this time of year (after the northern hemisphere summer) the sea temperature in the Carribean is at a high peak which causes a lot of moisture to rise up off it into the atmosphere. This develops into storms and ultimately hurricanes which then batter Mexico and South-East US. When they meet a significant land mass they deposit a significant part of their moisture and energy before spinning off north-east, decaying in strength but heading back accross the atlantic where they hit North-West Europe as a classic depression. Sometimes they manage to keep a significant amount of their energy, just like the one that hit the UK about 10 days ago and October ’87.
