And on what basis do you make that particular sweeping assertion?

Not all that long ago, I was in a car containing four large and suspicious-looking men that drove (purely by accident – we were searching for a very exotic Central African Republic Tu154) through an unmarked, open and unmanned gate onto the apron at Heathrow. In broad daylight, I might add.

Nobody at all noticed, and we retraced our path with alacrity. At no point were we stopped and questioned by either Police or Security.

On another occasion at Heathrow I was one of a group of spotters standing open-mouthed at the end of Cains Lane (some of you will know where I mean) while someone dashed across a busy road, climbed a double fence and made for an airliner holding for takeoff.

Several simultaneous mobile phone calls alerted the authorities and the miscreant was apprehended by Police before he could do any harm.

As I mentioned earlier, this reporter had already lied to obtain the job in the first place so how can we now rely unquestioningly on the complete veracity and accuracy of her work?

There’d be no room for them………….. 😮

Not in Cardiff on a Friday night, at any road. 😉

Very nice indeed 😀

2 out of 4, Kev.

BOAC(x2), East African, Gulf Air and BCAL.

OK, the BCAL machine would have been ex-BUA so that’s almost 3 out of 4, I suppose. 😀

Since this reporter must have made untruthful statements to get the job in the first place, why should we believe that anything in the report is exactly as it seems?

Until BA announce direct international flights from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland I don’t think they should be called the UK’s national carrier instead they should be called English Airways

Or “London Airways”, as we tend to call them in these parts – remember that they only have one long-haul route (MAN-JFK-MAN) from a UK region. 😀
