C’mon mate, how long have you had that Jetranger

Nice shots Keith. Hey, maybe one day I’ll be looking out the window of a Gulfstream!………………but then again, maybe not. Keep ’em coming mate;)

I don’t fly on them. I work close to Ryanair and the ‘orange guys’ every day and I’m heartily sick to death of RYR passengers taking it out on my passengers and staff at shared departure gates when RYR doesn’t deliver, and that is quite a frequent event. Any site that draws attention to this and any other airlines shortcomings gets kudos in my book. If an airline such as RYR feels the need to silence criticism of itself then its obviously not concerned with in its reputation or interested in the customers it purports to serve, but I think thats well known anyway. However in fairness to RYR and its ilk, Joe Public really needs to wake up to the fact that RYR is nothing more than a subsidised aerial ‘Greyhound’ bus and they should not expect any more in the form of passenger welfare than you would get on one of those vehicles. I guess I’m fortunate in that I have always managed to find acceptable and reasonably priced tickets on other carriers at the dates I require and so I use them, as indeed we are all free to do. Would I alter my travel plans to avoid using RYR? Yes, I think I might be ‘silly’ enough to do that and believe me when you spend most of your working day seeing and hearing the antics of some of their passengers, so would you.

Personally I would prefer the European governments to finance development and sales of our manufactured products even if it means our traditional flag carriers are hard done by. Manufacturing will always have more importance than service industry to me and I work in the aerospace service industry.

Could not have put it better myself. Somewhere somebody is always subsidising something and the aviation industry is no exception, just ask Ryanairs O’Leary

When I visited Albania in the 80s, Norman had a great fan base in that country as his were the only foreign comedy films permitted. It was still possible at that time to see his films in the cinemas there as well as on their TV. I believe that he was given an award by the Albanians some time during the 90s.

Thank you Norman, the guy who made the grey suits in Tirana giggle, for all the laughs and happiness you gave us over the years….May you truly rest in peace.

Very nice pics. This is one Gulfstream fan only too happy to enjoy that image:)

Keith, what can I say…………..nectar for the eyes!:D:D:D
