Harrods Aviation is an FBO, Fixed Base Operator. They basically provide all the neccessary ground services for the visiting bizjets. There are two others at LTN, Signature (Very big in the UK) and Gulfstream have their own set up their too. I think Harrods only operate from LTN and STN though? The only plane registered to them is a Sikorsky.

The vast majority of the small minority of people who speak Welsh are in the North of the country, despite meddling attempts by the Welsh Assembly to make everyone else speak it as well! As North Wales and South Wales are divided by some rather inhospitable (if very beautiful) terrain, people from North Wales are going to use Manchester rather than Cardiff, as its an awful lot easier to get to (If the trains are working though, eh Elgan 😉 ) so it would make more sense to make the MAN based crews learn Welsh rather than the Cardiff based ones.

Yet…;)

I belive the Dash 8 fleet is STILL the only section of the BACX fleet to be making money?

Yup, it is an air to air refueller. Apparently, that company is teaming up with Evergreen to convert DC-10s to KDC-10 standard for the same role. They hope to get a contract from the RAF until the FSTA enters service.

And the Subpar Hornet surely needed AAR to get to Farnborough… 😀

Which explains their prescence at PIK how…? 😉

Nice pics Dan, one day I will get myself up to STN to spot, rather than fly on a a 0.01p flight 😀

Just means less repainting to do on the aircraft already in SAS colours, and they only have to paint over 25 or so older 737s.
