I see they got the gates working while you there! They have just changed them, so that if anything approaches them airside, they open up, and some idiot drove his van up to the gates and then parked up by a shed, setting them off and creating a huge traffic jam!
Despite this however the actual barriers stopping cars from driving into the planes have been replaced, and still don’t work! Now every time they want to get a plane across they have to call the police to block the road!

Concorde flys every day now, and whatever day you go there will always be something even more out of the ordinary than normal.

Stornoway eh? The locals won’t be too happy about jet’s coming in. I remember they protested about props coming in on a Sunday, although I suppose it is lightly different.
Is the runway up there long enough to take 737’s? it seems quite small to me.
What do you think about it Ren, viable?

Oooh! Nice pics Skycruiser! 🙂

Also in case you hadn’t picked it up, Concorde now uses the same runways as everyone else, so you will see her depart on 27L, and land on 27R.
I can’t get hold of a TAF, but it is possible that the runways could switch to 09’s tomorrw, it is an 8 knots crosswind ATM.

Sorry, you got the wrong end of the stick there EGNM! The only BA charter was what I meant!

Wow, never knew that. So the charters from LPL just run to Jersey then?

Very good Kev, and yes it’s an A321.
