    She is also a great asset to our tourism industry too. The number of people that come over to see Buckingham Palace in the hope of seeing “The Queen of England” is quite immense.
    Try going up there once in a while and see how close you can get without a Japanese tourist barging you out of the way :rolleyes:

    Quite a good illustrative pic here:

    The only problem with doing the flight is that Loganair don’t do cheap day returns. To get the chespest flights you have to stay at the destination for over 7 days. Day returns booked in advance average about £250 🙁

    With Hand here, from what I remember the terminal layout is one long thin pier with access on one side and big windows out onto the apron on the other end, with a few piers coming off it every so often forming little cul-de-sacs. You can see most of the airport from the windowed areas I think, although it was a while since I was last there 🙂

    So in other words names that rhyme? :confused:

    Flyme and Flybe have no connotations, flyme is a play on words (of sorts) FlyBE a shortening of Fly British European, and as already said Fly is obviously a common word for an airline.
    The only links I see between the two are that they rhyme! :confused:

    Most of it is operated by Lufthansa Cityline I believe, which is like BA Citiexpress, a seperate company but fully owned by the main carrier.

    N737CC is a very regular visitor to my home airport of Farnborough. It is registered to Wells Fargo Bank, which I believe is just the name of the financier of the aircraft rather than the particular owner/operator. I think it operates for Middle East Jet, which is an exclusive middle eastern biz jet operator of outlandish types such as 737, 757, and 777 even!
    However it ends up all over the world, middlee east far etas, USA etc.

    The nearest is a Tupolev TU154, the one behind looked like a DHL Convair, but I’m not too good with my olde props.
