    Matthew, that is almost exactly what I am hoping to do. I’m going to do Maths and Physics at A-Level, then go and do a degree in aeronautics. It is one of the hardest degrees to do, but is well worth it in the end. If I do a masters degree it will be a 4 year course, with a gap year in between where I get the chance to go and experience aeronautical work with someone like Virgin or BA.

    I was hoping to do this because although my ultimate aim was to be a pilot, if all goes wrong then it leaves me something to fall back on, and I could go and work for someone like Airbus or Boeing.

    Great minds think alike 😀

    Sounds good Martin. I’m looking forward to seeing it! How are we gonna ‘advertise’ the website so that other spotters other than those on these forums get chance to see it?

    An intersting one there. just looking at that site (myaviation.net) I read on their homepage about them not rejecting photos. At first I thought that this could be a bad thing that they are just relying on the photographer to upload good photos, as you could get people taking advantage of it, but looking through some of the photos it seems as if people have respected the idea and there are so0me very nice photos on there.

    All week the planes at STN have been on RWY 23, meaning that they turn just before they get to my school and so i miss them. However, this afternoon, whilst sitting in Spanish, they changed to 05, meaning that they land low over my school. In the ‘exciting’ hour, this is everything that I can remember:

    8 Ryanair 738’s (including 2 in new livery)
    2 Ryanair 732’s (including Kilkenny)
    1 FedEx MD-11
    1 Eastern Airways Jetstream 41
    3 Easyjet 733’s
    1 Buzz 146
    1 European Aviation 732
    Gulfstream IV N404LM

    From my house over past hour or so:
    1 CSA 737-500
    2 Ryanair 738 (new cs)
    4 Ryanair 738
    2 Buzz 146
    5 Easyjet 737-300
    1 Malaysian 744 (flying into Heathrow)
    1 BA A320 (from Heathrow)
    1 BA 767 (going into Heathrow)
    1 Britannia 757 (old cs)
    1 Tryolean Jet Service OE-HTJ Do 328-300
    1 BA 757 (from Heathrow)
    1 Emirates 777-300 (flying into heathrow)

    I would absolutely love to take up the oppurtunity, unfortunaely I’m only 15 in March 2004. A few more years yet but I should get there some day. How often do you get sponsorships like this?

    Does anyone know where that ATP may have came from? Had anyone else seen it that day (this Saturday, the 20th) It has really been making me wonder, as there have been no announcements of any new BA flights and it is the second one I have seen recently.
