Needless to say thank goodness this didn’t happen over ground otherwise we’d probably be looking at fatalities. Could be a similar thing that happened to the Ryanair plane at Ciampino last year.

Seems as though the pilot has done well in doing the controlled ditching – seems so weird to see a ‘whole’ airplane in the water rather than one all broken up.

I spent one of the best holidays of my life a couple of years ago in the Lakes. Can’t remember where exactly where I went but Ambleside rings a few bells. It truly is a stunning part of the country. Looking forward to a few photos, if you have any.

Very good ad and enjoyed the nostalgic theme a lot. However I was distinctly underwhelmed by VS when I flew with them in 07.

Still awaiting the news of the second phase of the Gatwick expansion. Perhaps this has been slightly delayed due to Aer Lingus’ decision to open a base?

Nice shots. When I drove past LHR earlier today it was clear blue sky! Typical, eh?

Excellent photos. I particularly enjoy that angle you get at MAN, it just makes the planes seem so beautiful. 🙂
I also enjoyed the EY shots and the Thomson pic.

Look quite good. Actually thought the plane looked like one of the ‘Jungle Jets’ for about 1 second before I realised what I was actually looking at! :).

I suppose the winglets increase range as a result of the increased fuel efficiency. I know that A321s can’t reach places like Egypt fully loaded from the UK, so I presume that charter airlines, for instance, could be quite interested if these could be fitted (?) .
