It was BEA both sides and only temporary so perhaps BEA themselves put the logo on for the show and you saw it before that.

Active a couple of days ago…I see this on some sites near the end of the month if the bandwidth has been used up…this may well be the case here:confused:

I’m sure it will be back up soon

I didn’t say it was the end of the world did I ?
The park was still open and the plane was due in any minute. It was a two minute job to get a snap. Get off your soap box.
I’m sure garyrussell has never moaned about anything in life as there are people far worse off.

I certainly would never complain publically about something so trivial.

Seems though opinions not agreeing to you are unwelcome.

Life too short mate…just get on with it

That picture is not when Courtine went under

There is an early livery Dan Air One-Eleven…a Britannia Airways Britannia and BAC One-Eleven 400 G-AWBL the ony Autair aircraft to join Court and only for the first year.

That pic must be 1969 probably at it’s launch.

He is happy to for Europe to work together as one showing a large common face to the World as far as trade is concerned…that is what the Common Market was about.

But that slowly evolved into a power hungry un democratic monster taking away national sovereignty, that is not what Britian joined.

This is what he is against…a handful of overpaid non elected egotistic nobodies trying to rule everybody’s life. Naturally there is a real fear, or perhaps certainty that the monster will grow even bigger and stronger until perhaps the National governments will not be allowed to do anything at all without the sanction of Europe.

The traditional partied get in due to short sightedness of the voters…the workers fell labour is better and the ruling classes about conservatism. They only see their own personal lives and not a wider picture that could eventually benefit everyone.

As it stands, the country bangs form one extreme to the other and really it is about time some thought was given to some new, different, better way.

I don’t meant it’s necessarily UKIP, but I do feel there is a staleness and apathy that has taken away so much in the past and nothing seems set for the future.

Has anyone seen this amazing performance by Nigel Farage on Youtube addressing the EU Parliament ? What an amazing performance and pure theatre with a bite !

He socked it to this bunch of EU incompetant nincompoops big time. Not for the first time does Mr. Farage reveal the sordid truth behind this undemocratic, unelected and wholly undesirable group of jobsworths who in all probability could not hack it if employed anywhere where genuine talent is required.

This is the European dream exposed for what it is; a sham concoction of disparate fools each consumed by a sense of make believe – if we wish it to happen it will happen. I think not. Alice in Wonderland would be a suitable model for the EU and we are paying for it – thru’ the nose.

John Green

Indeed he does, he is about the only politician who when he speaks I understand what he’s on about…real issues

Others talk incomprehensible rubbish way off topic in concentrated efforts to avoid whatever issue is raised.

The A.300 almost failed through lack of orders until Easter started using them a the rest is history

Had it failed there would be none of the Airbus types we have now

Also worth remembering that Boeing seriously considered killing off the lame duck the 737 was in the early day, but then that sort of caught on and suddenly many airlines were buying them. I can certainly remember when Boeing 737’s were rare with only Aer Lingus and Britannia likely to overfly my area and Aer Lingus perhaps once a week.

Perhaps all this can be looked at differently

If a couple of newer type are selling fewer numerically then the latest versions of well established type, far form bad that could be considered very good indeed to have sold them with such well established competition. I’m not referring specifically to this but in any event where this happens.

DHC/Bombardier, Canadair and Embraer have come from nowhere over the last few years and the British Industry has disappeared…what is now may be nothing like it was and nothing like the future with the two biggest player currently, A.320 series and Boeing 737NG both about to be relaunched would not have existed had the 737 line closed in the early 70’s or the A.300 been abandoned.

Less established types bring new blood and fresh ideas. it’s easy for big corporations to ride a success and get a bit stale. An example being the original A.350 that was basically and updated A.330 which is an updated A.300. The airlines refuse it and Airbus had to go away licking their wounds and redesign something new. Without doubt that was a good move and the A.350 starts afresh with much future potential

You could take any one of those ‘minor’ types and write about them in 20 years. It will either be…Pity they didn’t kill in then or…Just as well they stuck with it as look what it led to.

The chances are the one that becomes true is the least likely as it looks today.

All it needs is an open mind and the will to sceed with the job
