Some great pics there. Love that Corsair livery, makes that dreadful Jet2 livery look very dated and tacky

If like me, you love cats, we have three rescue ones, then I think you’ll enjoy this. Carefull though, it can become compulsive viewing!

I cannot believe that no one would have had those doors open at any time during those seven rotations. I spent 25 years in aviation, ten of which was in the post of Traffic Officer, so spent a lot of time on the ramp. Our based aircraft would be given the ‘once over’ by line maintenance personel once a day, more than once if the crew demanded it, and always, when the aircraft was on a ‘night stop’ this included the opening of the wheel well doors, amongst a lot of other things. Sorry to disagree with you, but someone should have seen this, no question.

Up until I lost my licence a couple of years ago, for health reasons I hasten to add, I had owned 3 BMW 3 Series, not all at the same time though! and I have to say, that a lot of BMW owners did themselves no favours in the way a lot of them drive, and hence we all got tarred with the same brush. However, there was no ‘brotherly solidarity’ like many others, I got my fair share of the hooters and flashing headlights treatment too. I was once told that there is a strict pecking order amongst the ‘Beamer Brotherhood’ ie, if you’re driving a 3, don’t for gawds sake get in the path of a 5 or 7…..I’m sure he was joking……he must of been…..wasn’t he?

Love that Flynonstop E190, very classy.

Good to know, that over the seven flights, the pre flight crew/engineers walk rounds had been so ‘thorough’ Shades of BA and the engine cowl fiasco recently.

Its not this Mr Whitakers place to appoint himself the ‘guardian of the speed limit’ by driving constantly in the middle lane, at 70mph. He sounds a right prig to me, and IMO, is as big a danger to other motorists, as the basket cases who tailgate.
