    When will these muppets ever learn?? you hear of these tales quite often and are almost always fatal, not to mention the danger they can cause to the aircraft and passengers should their bodies get caught in the mechanics of the nose gear:mad:

    I had been taking reg’s for 27 years, stopped due to being too busy to keep up to date, because of work..which ironically allowed me to go to more airports!At which point i started taking shots. There are thousands and thousands of reg spotters out there still, evident by the amount of movement and logs sites there are about..( last reg i put in my master log was F-WWOW btw.at last count my master log was sitting at approx 215,000 reg’s, commercial, biz and spam..gave up on mil 15 years ago)

    The roof terrace is open year round, unfortunately the Terminal E deck(far better than the main terminal deck) is closed till March, as i think, is the bus tours

    Just some story I thought I would share with you regarding a situation at EDI around 3:15 p.m. A NetJets H.S-125 coming from only god knows where (the most probable place is Paris Orly)

    It was flying from Dundee to Aberdeen and had a bird strike on take off from DND, happily no-one hurt.

    Peter:, MOOO even got a “follow me” escort, you’d think they’d know the way by now!!!, actually must have been in a hurry, before it even stopped moving the co-pilot had the door open!!!

    If they hadn’t leased their 2nd 767 to Air India for the winter, they wouldn’t have too…

    Could’nt agree more Allan, My mother said the 737 was full to capacity, to the point of asking some pax to get bumped at Orlando.My mother was not told at all about the change of aircraft/routing, however someone else on board who left Scotland 3 days after my mum, was e-mailed it.
    Peter, it turned out to be 11hours 45 minutes on board :eek:, the flight left on time was due to go to St John’s for fuel, but after 2 attempts to land in a blizzard the crew gave up and diverted to Gander, where there was no documentation etc… so they were on the ground for almost 3 hours not allowed off in way sub zero temps with the door open, then, a 40 minute wait for the wings to get de-iced, and a full power no spool up take off, which the pilot advised everyone would be “a wee bit louder than normal, to blow off any excess ice” add on to that there was a screaming kid,wailing the ENTIRE time:mad: BUT…. they all got free meals.. yay:D
    Thanks for the comments all.

    Thanks for putting me right there,chaps, Still a shocking way to go about it, any other business pi***ng off their customers would result in lost custom, of course EZY and RYR etc.. have a unique business model.I still believe they should cough up and then claim back from the Government who ultimately have caused/made the balls up.
    Can you imagine muppets in orange shirts chasing folk up and down check in areas with buckets 😀 😀 😀 , I’m sure Tony Robinson is on standby to document it hehe 😮

    Not exactly anywhere near an “expert” but had a wee go with the version posted, using Elements 3, clone stamp. Have no doubt you will get a better one from someone more skilled, just having a boring wet saturday afternoon and thought i’d give it a go (took 5 mins btw:D )
