EGNM, glad you have something positive to say about the IOM, all I have heard all day is bad reports lol.

For all the “backward aspects” of the place it does have a very intreging way of life – depending on what your looking for and how you view it I suppose! If you go with a very open mind you’ll find many quaint, quiet, picturesque villages, however as with everywhere it has it’s downsides. Douglas is practical for the majority of the amenities you’d expect on the mainland, whilst many of the smaller coastal towns such as Peel, Castletown, and Port Erin have there own quaint ways of life – however I believe you’ve to hit 60 before they let you into Port St Mary!

From friends met over there it appears that if your planning on moving the whole family over there the quality of schooling and facilities for Kids over there is far better than average.

My previous employer had a large operation through the and I visited on many occasions, usually for a day out walking, sometimes I even took my bike over for the day to explore.

Have a quick look here – some wonderful scenery on the Rock! http://www.island-images.co.uk/Manxland/zArchives.html

Jet2 have been doing this for a long time now, must be at least two years!

Hi Tom,

Did a rather lot of paxing with em in a previous life and have never known that – and have never seen or had it enforced.

If this was the case there would have to be something in the T+C of the tickets upon purchase, and as said it would be neigh on impossable to practically enforce.

Also I doubt the company would be able to enforce such a stance as they have a duty of care towards all pax, and what happens when a bar service is not possable for whatever reason, or onboard services where bar services are not provided?

Now being unable to consume own alcoholic beverages onboard would be a differant matter…

Aircraft was F/T Belgrade carrying engine for a B737 that returned to LHR with problems earlier in the week.

No MD80 pics will be found as it isn’t in service yet!

Hi Michael,

It seems to come up as a matter of course, however when you continue the charges are wiped. Several people have mentione dit that I know of.

Now that Mr Pot and Mr Kettle have compared their respective pigmentation can we return to the topic, please? :rolleyes:

Thank you very much.

Ok, had a beer, but where’s Mr Black?

Nice shots there Paul, just two questions…who was the all white BAe 146 operating for and where was it destination, and is the Jet2 a/c one of their new ones that they have accquired from China or not? Just wondering because I notice it is missing its silver coat of paint, which kinda makes the livery look rather dull and boring!

G-FLTA is a Flightline machine currently operating for FlyBe on former BA Connect Services to BRU and CDG.

G-LSAD was delivered last Summer to Jet2 and is the former Air Scotland machine. She was painted as a hybrid due to her requirement to be in service for the summer season. Both G-LSAG/H that are in service so far from China are in Silver/Red variations. G-LSAI is yet to enter service.

3 aircraft operating under Channex callsigns, none in the normal livery! (PZ, LP and LO)

Great shots Kevin.

I thought G-CELO was based at NCL again for the summer?

There are preferances to where the airframes are based, however these are not rock steady as the idea is for the fleet to be interchangable if required.
