Er…. His site is consuming too much of the host’s server and has been suspended. Unless I’m reading this wrong then it’s hardly the web hosters fault ?

Could not agree more. When the contract between the host and Ruud was made, no doubt a few guidelines regarding the amount of bandwidth and webspace would be allowed. Apparantly Ruud went over those guidelines, and quite generously as well.

Having said that, just shutting of the site and the mail without prior notification goes a bit far. At the very least they could have let Ruud keep the mail and enough bandwidth for him to create a single page explaining the sitatuation to his visitors. And the way I read Ruud’s mail I think it is exactly those two issues that pissed him of. But then, I do not know him so perhaps I am reading to much into it.

Five out of seven, not bad! 😀

The viewing gallery at Heathrow has been closed. The aviation store I think is now gone. If I am not mistaken they tried to continue for a while at the visitors center, but without much luck?

Good luck with your studies!

CNN is reporting the flight as being Orient Thai AirlinesOG269 from Bangkok to Phuket. Flight number is probably wrong, as the Orient Thai IATA code is actually OX. OG belongs to Air Guadeloupe.

The plane broke in two upon landing. As yet no details on casualties or injuries.

Orient Thai has a fleet of 747s (10), 757s (2) and MD-88s (4). Fleetdetails from RZjets.net

Looks very LTU’ish doesn’t it?

That would be the general idea. Air Berlin has taken over LTU so they want the brands to match each other. Air Berlin has said they will retain LTU as a brandname for the long haul flights. Of course they said just prior to the FlyDBA take-over that their brandname would be kept as well… didn’t happen heh?

Can any one throw some light on this one?
I understand there is a British Midland A320 or A319 flying into Jersey next week for the Jersey International Air Display, differant I ask my self.
From some information floating around syber space it could be going to do some formation flying with the Red Arrows?
It has been some time I think since the Reds have flown with a Commericial Airliner?
With the British Midland Aircraft being blue and the Arrows Red the Airbus will stand out well if this does happen?

In the past they did it all the time with Concorde. Most recently I think they did it with the A380. I don’t understand you last question though. Why would a big passenger plane not stand out?

That’ll be Air Atlantique’s DC-6A, G-APSA. Fresh from a stunning repaint, we hear.

I’ve read somewhere that a Dutch TV programme will be made about a special KLM DC-6 airrace from London to Christchurch. G-APSA has been painted in the same KLM livery as the DDA DC-4 PH-DDS from a few years back.

All will be revealed this weekend at the Lelystad air show. Not sure yet if I will be able to attend it, but it will be interesting!

Nice photo, but you got to be carefull when making shots directly into the sun. It can ruin the sensor of your camera. Hope your camera is still in top working condition!
