    Theres been a lot of military stuff about recently, not unusual to hear a fast jet over the city centre, perhaps something using the facilities en route to one of the local bases?

    Its City Star Airlines, presumably coming back home after doing a charter.

    Wow, a relatively full looking Trislander as well! My two flights on this incredible little aeroplane are still, after well over 100 commercial flights over three years, my most favourite ever! Really must go back to the Channel Islands, as after two visits I have still never set foot on Jersey…

    Went out to Vancouver yesterday from Heathrow I think. Can’t think of anything on in Leeds tomorrow to warrant it, must be something quite important though!

    Oh how I would love to rip into every point you just made Elgan, however its a nice day and I have to meet you at least twice this summer, so I might just keep my mouth shut for once 😉 😀

    I know its not just me as several others have reported it as well, but airliners hasn’t been displaying any images to me for the last two days, just all the text.

    Anyone else on here having this problem as well?

    Alternatively if anyone has a pic of this on another site it would be much appreciated, as I will most likely be on this in the summer given the number of BE 146 flights I have booked!

    Just wondering, are planes like the 707 banned in Germany? Would have thought teams like Angola and Togo would be using slightly less modern aircraft.

    Just because you percieve these countries as unable to afford modern aircraft it would make absolutely no sense for a country to use nothing but its flagship in almost every case.

    If the Angola team had a 747 at their disposal they are hardly going to say “Hmm, we are a 3rd world country, can’t be having anything as good as a 747 to transport us to the worlds premier sporting event, you got anything older thats a bit more fitting of our stereotype?”

    :rolleyes:

    Doubt the foreign airports will be sold off, they were acquired very recently for strategic growth reasons and I dont see Ferrovial taking a different view on that. The only airports that will be required to be sold will be those in the UK which the OFT say have become anti competitive.

    It was a private holiday, thats why he didnt use the Royal Flight. He just happened to be seeing the Pope on the last day of his private trip.

    HA-LAV and HA-YFD are the two LETs that BASe have according to my relatively unreliable Russian data.

    I see another Belfast trip via the IOM coming on again!
