    Smashing pics there young sir, we have been treated to some fine weather up here at the moment, gives a false impression that spring is not too far away.
    Also does anybody know why on the EMB 170 and above series has a poop shoot (APU exhaust) which never gets painted, makes them look odd.

    I take it the load factors on the Tripoli route must be very low? Also is that CRJ on fumes when it gets to Man.

    Usual high standard of photos Mr Area.

    Stunning shots sir, is it me or does the Virgin 340-300 look a bit patchy and haggard?

    Engineers rather you don’t open them even in training, seals etc.
    QUOTE]

    The overwing exits on a 767 are always armed ,un like the door type exits. If you open one without dis-arming it, will deploy the off wing escape slide and fire sqibs (small explosive charges) in the inbord two spoiler actuators to drive them into the stowed position. You will be popular! To dis-arm them requires panels to be removed, switches to be moved etc, etc. That is why engineers don’t want you to open them.
    As for the silver jet I suspect that a combination of reduced passenger load and interior fit will be the reason why they have de-activated one hatch.
    BTW some thing in the back of my mind is telling me that some 767-200 were built with only two over wing exits. Am I wrong????

    It was a customer option like the Easy A319s, I believe only Britannia and Braathens were the only airlines to have this mod fitted due to max passenger config i.e. 8 across seating.

    Wonder why Monarch have V2500 Engines on their 321’s but CFM engines on their 320’s and MYT have CFM engines on 321’s but V2500 engines on most 320’s. Which is the better engine out of the V2500 or CFM ?
    What are MYT’s A320’s like anyway ?

    I did a trip report on My Travel the other month which gives you a brief guide on their status; both the aircraft I flew in had the latest interior i.e. blue leather seats.
    Also to note most of their A320/A321 fleets are CFM powered, the IAE are from when they took over Inter European back many moons ago.

    Thanks for the feedback, so it seems that they have improved, wasn’t to bothered but I did have some terrible experiences with them a good few years ago. Glad they have bounced back.

    Saying that after my recent trip with Thomfly on one of their 767s I don’t think anything can be as bad as there aircraft, shabby was an understatement, and the crew were abysmal

    Here’s looking forward to a week in the sun.

    These brain washed planks are just screwed in the head, they try and ruin everyone’s lives by doing these stupid acts. Hope they rot in hell, or at least get a good sorting out by the local cops.
