Like that blue and gold A340. Sad to see an SP in that state:(

Some great shots. I’ve always liked the RAM livery.

I don’t know what’s worse, the name or the livery. IMO, neither are up to much.

Although saved from the scrapman, its still a sad sight to see such a once graceful bird, well and truly grounded. I have always loved the Caravelle, a design that could only have been dreamt up by the French. Thanks for the images all the same.:)

I have nothing but praise for EZY. Last Sept, my partner and I set off for a well deserved holiday in southern Italy. We flew outbound with RYR to SUF, but after only 3 days, I fell I’ll following a bad reaction to mosquito bites. We tried to get an early flight home with RYR, but they had no seat availability for 5 days, but we would have to pay for the dates to be changed. To cut a long story short, Easy took a booking by phone for the two of us to fly the next day, but from NAP. Only one seat was available at the very good fare. I explained my situation to the woman on the phone, and she made it possible for us to have the second seat at the cheap rate. On arriving at NAP, without us asking they had given us pre board at no cost, and on boarding the aircraft, the No1 told me that she had been advised of my condition and sat us in the very first row of seats. During the flight, we both had fruit juice and a bun each, and they did not charge anything for them. I’ll never forget Easy’s part in getting me home that night. That is customer service. Enjoy that trip with them:)

I think the stirring up of the FALKLANDS is just a smoke screen to hide all their domestic problems.

In much the same way as the US is doing vis-a-vis Syria and Iran. Just like Argentina, the US is also up to its armpits in debt, although in their case, an awful lot of that debt is to China. ‘Smoke screens’ all around I’d say. Funny ‘ol world.

Phantom. No need to apologise here for expressing your point of view, it’s valid irrespective of where you come from. But I can’t agree with you over the death penalty. Despite having it, the US still has one of the highest murder rates in the developed world. For a good number of these killers, the death penalty is no deterrent, whilst for the mentally ill, some of those probably have no idea what the death penalty is, and there are special places for them. The biggest problem that I personally have with the death penalty is when the courts get it wrong. Granted it doesn’t happen often, but one such case is one to many. Also, doesn’t law enforcement taking the accuseds life make them, and society in general, no better than the killer? The sentence for murder should be life imprisonment, and the only way the killer gets out, is in a wooden box. There should be a regime of hard labour, basic food and drink and no other privileges. Perhaps they could spend the hours of darkness contemplating the gravity of what they have done.

The victims and their families, and those of the guilty come to that, end up with a life sentence not of their making, why should the guilty be spared that? IMO, for those reasons, the death penalty does not fit the crime, and they should not have it. Some would say that it is an easy way out for the killer, some I dare say would say otherwise.
