Those who are taking the mick out of the London-Ashford name appearingly do not live local.
Its an easy trainride into london, and South Eastern will be running high speed Hitatchi trains into London from the coast passing throught Ramsgate (For Manston) and Ashford providing less than one hours journey from the coast along the CTRL into London; for commuter fares…so Lydd (as of 2008) will be readily and quickly reachable from London as will Manston.

I know little about winglets, however from the extract on the -400D I read it becomes apparent that winglets cause wing stresses. I am going to assume that the LCF uses the original -400 wing (would have to be designed and built from scratch if a new wing was required), and perhaps the unusual shape increases wing stresses and winglets would push these stresses beyond normally safe operating limits,

Just my assumptions which are likely wrong, but schmeh – the more opinions the better 😉

Possibly so, but sometimes it is simply not appropriate to release sources 😉

So you’d say you’ve got it on good authority? :confused:

I’ve played a few in my time all 15 and a half years of it.

Flirted with the flute on numerous occasions between 10 and 13.
Since the grand old age of 7 until 12/13 I played the violin, loved it until other time pressures meant lessons were intruding into time I needed to be spending on school work.
After this I played Clarinet between the ages of 12-14 as I preferred it over the Violin, but again lessons took up to much time and lessons became a drag.
Nowadays I’m teaching myself guitar, a number of months later I’m just as good as when I started. I’ve mastered the fingering of the chords, yet it still takes an hour or two going between each, it really is painstaking to listen to (even for myself). Any tips?

Its 20 E190s for baby

Is this just speculation or otherwise?

A great shame indeed.
At least we have two man crews in case of such an event, what occurs in the future when the computer flying the plane gets ‘seriously ill’ :confused:

The BA franchise , there was a rumor that they might be giving that up , but again that is still to be decided,

If one did a search, there was, a good few months ago, an indepth discussion on this subject such as the implications of giving up the franchise and I (think) I remeber news that Loganair were giving up the franchise in the latter stages of this decade, certainly one of BAs franchisee’s were.
