We’ve been through this one several times on all of the forums, airband1.

The general rule is that so long as they don’t contain graphics, don’t take up half the screen and aren’t offensive or provocative (to a reasonable person) in any way then people can put pretty well whatever they like in their signatures.

Some show more restraint than others. 🙂

Thanks for that, EGNM. I do remember the stuff for the 2001 UEFA Cup Final, but Istanbul is quite a lot further away than Dortmund (as you’re well aware) so I would imagine fuel will be more of a consideration this time. We shall see. 🙂

Yes, Steve, it’s the Mersey.

Thanks for the comments, chaps. 🙂

If a 767 can go to Barbados from LPL, i’m sure a widebody can go to IST no problem!

Ah – but were the B767s in question operating at or near MTOW?

I doubt it, to be honest.

I don’t drive, EGNM. 🙂

I know the spot you mean, and it’s a fair old trek on foot, is it not?

Is the runway at Liverpool actually long enough for fully-loaded wide bodies with enough fuel for a trip to Istanbul?
