The Airbus line up is expected again, along with Boeings 777-300ER and goodness knows what else!
Last times show was a little bit of a let down on previous years ones, but SBAC (The organisers of the show) were well aware of this, and hopefully will have things sorted out this year a bit better.
And BAs 146s/RJ100s are in 3+3 config
Well I don’t think its a prop at all, and that looks like might be a business/first class section on an old widebody perhaps?
Maybe the tope of a 747 classic?
Looks like a Dash 8 to me, FlyBe I think, interior is too light for BA as I first thought.
They should knock them both down and build one “Super Scottish Airport” in the middle to prevent these kind of problems!
I THINK OY-RJA is operating the SWISS service into LHR as it has been there lots this week.
Rofl!
Yeah you misunderstood, BACX only have 1 flight that actualy operates out of EDI, and even that is a W pattern, all the rest operate out of MAN, SOU, BRS, and BHX.
BA are having quite a few problems finding aircraft. Currently LYS is being run with a leased 146 from Titan (Goota be expensive) and through some rescheduling they have got VIE onto one of the RJ100s. I am still not quite sure how they are going to juggle the 2nd LYS flight, and the NCE flight when it starts this weekend, and I don’t think they do either!
Also I have heard that they want to start Berlin and Geneva too, but just can’t get any extra aircraft/crew.
As for EDI they currently only have one flight that operates out of there, an ERJ145 that operates on a W pattern from any one of the bases (Not sure which) and due to current aircraft restrictions and scheduling distributions its very difficult to fit another one in for the moment until new aircraft are acquired. BACX seem to be in the process fo closing bases, and so the prospect of a new one opening is slim!!!
Happened on my LTN-DUB flight on sunday, the back 6 rows had their seats folded down (B732) and on all my 3 738 flights the front 3 were blocked off with the tray tables down ???
Although the likelihood of them rejecting you out of hand is quite high, on a common sense issue like this sending them an email can’t hurt, and if it points out an easily modified flaw in their system then even the coldest airline such as Ryanair will probably pick up on it, even if they never respond.
NOW this is where we need Sandy’s conspiracy theories, because when Berlusconi gets involved they are usualy correct!
Nice report Comet, but, err, wheres this photo of you then? 😉
The orginal theory behind the EU was that if the main countries go forced together into a friendship and an alliance then the chances of another horrific war in Europe would be much reduced.
Looks like its worked…
The angle of attack does not seem too bad to me, and providing the 744 knew about the traffic and had been given an altitude or heading to avoid it there would not have been a problem.
As for the undercarriage it would be on the way up there, but as we cannot see the underside of the plane its difficult to see what position it is in.
Don’t think its a sim pic though, too good for that!
