Well done, Britannia 🙂
A nice collection of photographs. My favourite Britannia colour scheme was of course the navy blue and white from the 1990s. The latest “Thomson.co.uk” scheme looks cluttered.
Shame it was so empty, but I very much like the two shots you have posted for us! 🙂
I love delays on the inbound flights to the UK.
However, when your flight is scheduled to depart at 1.00am from Bangkok, a delay of several hours isn’t so good. Obviously the views aren’t so great at that hour! :p
This guy got off a little too lightly if you ask me. Like someone mentioned, if it were in the USA or maybe even the UK, a £68 fine would not be the only charge. I guess it would be indecent assault and carry a short prison sentence and more than likely the termination of that persons contract.
Perhaps if you’re able to get a cheap fare to Heathrow towards the end of April, start of May, a couple of us could come and meet you? I’d certainly be up for it, especially if it’s warmer than it has been recently! 🙂

FRA-DFW on AA 767 Bus Class almost 11 Hours, and then there wasn’t a gate available, so we sat out on the tarmac for about 30 minutes!
That was in 1998 or there-abouts.
Enjoyed the warm mixed nuts and all, but in the future, I want to keep my non-stop flights pared down to 8 hours max, if that’s possible. But if it’s going to be a transfer nightmare, then I’ll just tuff it out. Going west to get to the esat, I would almost certainly prefer any layover in HNL !:D
When we flew New York JFK to London Heathrow with United Airlines in November 2002, we landed at Heathrow approximately 1 hour early. Unfortunately, like your situation, we couldn’t park up at the gate as there wasn’t one available. Our gate was occupied by a delayed American Airlines 777. After almost 45 minutes sat near the terminal building, we pulled up at the gate and were able to disembark.
At the moment, it looks as if this meet might actually happen.
Just a couple of questions:
How long do people intend on staying in Barcelona?
and.. EGNM, the accommodation you would recommend.. what sort of price would we be looking at for the end of June?
Brilliant stuff 😀
If it’s going to happen for a few days (which would be good), Thursday 24th June up until Sunday 27th June would be best for me. Alternatively, the same days the following week are just as good.

Normal night then T5?
Normal night? :confused:
If people are staying there for a few days, I’m up for that as well. Last time I was in Barcelona I managed to drink a bit too much and made a complete tw*t of myself that night!
All very nice models.
I’m still a bit skint at the moment and shouldn’t be buying models, but ebay is an addiction and I’m hooked again! Buying myself a very nice Herpa 1/500 Orient Thai 747-200 on Friday and currently bidding on a Gemini Jets model as well at the moment..
..I won’t reveal what it is because last time I done that, someone went and outbid me. Needless to say, I still managed to get, but at a much higher price than I could afford. 🙁
Based on the current exchange rate between the Pound and the Dollar, that’s an absolute bargain! 😀
Very nice.. but it would be so expensive to paint up and the film would come and go in weeks! 😀
Ryanair are also the airline that charges £50 for a CV to be read – so add that to the list! 😉
