RE: BA Pic
well, i’m sorry people…maybe the old livery with a fresh coat of paint would have been nice. But I prefer the new livery. Both are not excellant…bit boring really (i’m a charter airline kinda bloke!) but i would prefer the c. Dockyard. ………sorry

RE: Last Day of Airtours
WE LOVE YOU AIRTOURS
Goodbye friend! You will be sadly missed and never forgotten…especially with a name such as ‘My Travel’ to take your place.
RIP

RE: Airline Names
Quite obviously I would call my airline ‘Benair’. Though I believe there is a small business jet operation in Italy going by the name of ‘Benair’. I may have to re-think.
I would like to operate B757, B747, A330 and A320 aircraft from my Leeds Bradford base to destinations around the world, inc. Australia, USA, European destinations and the far East. The fantastic financial start to my airline operation would be partially donated to LBA for airport improvements for the process of Long Haul aircraft!
I can but dream!!!

RE: Air 2000 new colours

RE: MyTravel/Airtours to enter scheduled lowcost a
Yes I like the sound of My Travel’s plans. A good bit of healthy competition never did anyone any harm. As Preston points out, it will hopefully be good news for airports such as Leeds, not only for us spotters but also in terms of revenue for both the airline and the airport.

RE: Future of the 747
Thanks for the info Saab. I hope we dont see the end of 744 production, it would be a great shame. But if there is no demand then Boeing wont waste money.

RE: Sheffield Disaster!!!!
Yeh and I can’t see finningley lasting long IF it ever gets going. Have Airtours (My Travel) pulled out of the project yet? I know they were threatening to.

Ben
RE: V Speeds etc
Yes, as Preston has mentioned, there are simply too many variables affecting the values of V1 and V2 to make it simple to work out at hand, especially without data (whether, aircraft weight, length of TORA etc…)
