i dont think it has an official name – not sure tho! – are you a a member of the lba2 Yahoogroup?
a/c are assigned registartions in sequence one after another – eg 1st a/c in the “new” set was G-AAAA, second G-AAAB etc – if you want one out of sequence i think it costs you more – you can reserve registrations for example thats how easyjet ended up with E-EZJA-Z
yea been on before – i bet it fills you with confidence if your boarding the a/c!
you’d b best waiting for Wingflaps as he works for Monarch – i reckon they’ve still got a while left yet – they aint that old – their 757s in the main are older that the late build A300B4-605Rs
which one is it – i’ve got a few pics of G-TDTW th only AIH (as it was then) DC-10 i’ve flown
Yea i know what u mean LBARULES – Its worse on the 14 Cemetry car park usually – btw whats your name?
PIDS may have been on a W pattern then or have rotated on Thursday early hours with MCEA – Not sure tho
Interstingly the other day (Thrus evening) there were 5 Eastern a/c on the pan – The 2 based Jetstreams, plus the spare, then a J31 shuttlebuss for crew changes for either BY or MYT – Not sussed out which yet, and an E135 for a private charter to Faro!
Yea it used to rotate between BYNB and C – I have to admit i used to log C more than B. Its now flying with the swedish arm of Britannia as SE-DZN i think…
yea they were delivered factory fresh to LBA after about a week flying in sweden – BY Swapped em for the 2 B752s G-CDUO and CDUP
Sounds like a brilliant oppertunity though!
they were stored at Filton near Bristol for a long time – heres where they are now…

MYT Based a/c the majority of the time is G-PIDS – This summer is the first time for a based 757 as opposed to A320. BY have now got a Based B762 there – yes 762 G-BYAA – Arrived weds tea time.
Most of the spaniards can be seen over the summer season including IBW, AEA, JKK and HOA, LTE also on Thurs and Fridays – B752 and A321 – Air Luxor are a newbie with A320, and Astraeus operate B733s on Thursdays – errr usual Air Maltas on a Tues, Transavia on tues, and BH Air 3x weekly T154 to Bulgaria off the top of my head…
Tyrolean, BAE Systems and Azzura can also bee seen regularly
TF-ABU Sounds like another of the Atlanta machines to me. Most of these have been passed on now or reuced to scrap metal…
a good video the A330 – First direct flight i.e.not via Cyprus too. Should be interesting to see if BA are going to try and compete now…
yea i agree with the statements made there about LBA. The fact is the main probelms are SHORT runway, HILLTOP possition exposing to FOG, 14/32 orientated runway which leads to CROSSWINDS, and the lack of CAT3 ILS on 14, which is prodominantly the rwy in use when Fog occurs. CAT3 on 14, and an extra few hundred feet on 14/32 would probably further reduce this number of Diversions – anyway we dont see Teeside, Manchester, Humberside or East Mids complaining when we send a/c that way!
btw moondance i take it you fly for BA?
hiya – always nice to see new members!
