Count me in guys all being well. Coming from Donaghadee, I can also pick up pax from BHD if required, as I’ll be passing the front door anyway.
Looking forward to putting faces to names perhaps 😮

Whilst staying at a local caravan site on hols in Hawarden last year, I called to the security gate at the main entrance and asked politely about movements. The guy in the booth kindly gave me the frequencies (which I already had anyway) for my scanner, and the next scheduled arrivals and departures of the Belugas. Going to the crash gates at the end of the runway allowed some awesome video (particularly when the Beluga was powering up to take off again – the whole gate shook with the jet efflux, and the camcorder shook like mad while shooting through the gate). Just don’t park in front of the gate – local plod WILL move you on. Good range of movements on most days including Global Express, most biz jet types and the odd larger jet too e.g. BBJs.

Welcome back Sandy – good to see the brain didn’t stop functioning while you were away.

Well done Matt – what’s the new camera then?

Excellent news Shamrock – if you get some comms training, make sure you keep us posted on the freqs used so that we can listen to you at work while sitting alongside 28 spotting 😉 😉 😉

Allen,

Just loved that, but what the hell was it all about? No doubt from some ad or other. Superb ending though …… 🙂

I saw it fly over me while feeding the ducks

Must say I’ve never seen a 757 feeding ducks before …….. 😀

I’ll get my coat ……

Nice to know it’s doing the rounds, but without wanting to rake up old tribal problems this side of the Irish Sea, does anyone know if it’s coming to Belfast at all? There are no BA services to BFS anymore, BHD only has a BA MAN service it could possibly operate on (though I’m not sure about a 757 getting in/out of BHD with any kind of payload), yet I’m sure the BBC would want to see it coming to the kiddie viewers in Northern Ireland.

Anyone got any positive (i.e. confirmed) info on whether we’ll see it here or not?
