Dont you think that’s a bit unfair though? I suppose a lot that appeals to concorde pilots is the fact that you get to go half way accross the globe in a lot less time, meaning less time cramped up in the cockpit, whereas in a 747 your stuck with autopilot for hours upon end. I think if BA are going to do anything, they should atleast offer them any aircraft they want, after all it’s not their fault.

Here at Stansted we get a few unusual visitors. As LN Strike Eagle mentioned, and as was also displayed in Airliner World a couple of months ago, we have recently had the An-22. An-124’s are also fairly common here, but not as common as they used to be (they take too long on the runway for an expanding airport like Stansted). Quite often we have the Dubai Air Wing 747 SP’s in and so far this year, I have seen 5 Saudi aircraft there: 2 MD-11’s, 2 SP’s and a Hercules.

Does anyone know when the last scheduled flight in or out of Heathrow will be? I hope you don’t mind me saying this but it is absolutely b***dy ridiculous that BA are stopping her from flying. It takes me 2 hours by train to get to Heathrow from where I live, but no matter what I will DEFINATELT get up there some weekend before she goes. I am also hoping to get her on video camera to keep as a treasure for my grandchildren in many years to come. Are the concorde flight times the same at the weekend as they are on weekdays? Are sundays any quieter than other days at Heathrow?

Great report and welcome to the forum. I have been on almost every British charter airline I can think of apart from Monarch, and I really want to go on one. I love their new livery, it is 10 times better than the previous one, certainly one of my favourite liveries around (with Edelweiss and Air Jamaica firm favourites). I went on Astraeus to Egypt and back last year, and was very pleased with everything about them. At first I thought that they were a bit of a long shot, especially competing with airlines such as Air 2000 out of Gatwick, but I think that they have done very well for themselves and now they need to take it just one step further……

Those photos are absolutely fantastic!;) They are all worthy of something more than airliners.net, although you should put them on there anyway. The detail is superb and the picture quality in general is just amazing. Have you any more to show off? If so I would love to see them 😀

I think that there are atleast 6 photos on there worthy of being accepted on airliners.net, and possibly even more. I think ones that are worth a try to be accepted are:

First easyjet pic- superb lighting
Go pic- just fills the frame nicely
G-OFRA Easyjet zoomed in pic
MyTravel 757 landing- amazing scenery
BA Dash 8- once again, fills the frame nicely
G-OSLH Easyjet landing- great photo

It could be worth a try
