    What does a digital camera mean by 3x digital/optical zoom?

    Standard lenses have their zoom measured in a 70-200mm (as an example) format. What does this equate to?

    Iraq could be an up and coming holiday hotspot. No doubt Wysiwyg will be flying plane loads of holidaymakers over there in a few months! 🙂

    What I find equally as funny is the fact that Iraq believe a farmer shot down a helicopter whilst picking his corn – or whatever he was doing!

    I think he’s dead. I watched him on Sky News a few weeks back and he was doing a press conference. It lasted quite some time and I think he picked up on two points; any Brits and Americans entering Iraq would not leave alive – little did he know, some already have left… alive! He just repeated himself and repeated himself and repeated himself and repeated himself. I got bored and change the channel.

    I have a “manual” Olympus OM-10 where every little change has to be made by the user – no autofocusing available, no auto-wind – nothing!

    I also print and develop in school and have the facility to develop black and white film at home and then scan in with my Microtek film scanner.

    Good news. What destinations are currently served by the airport – is it just British and European?

    I assumed this was a recent event, it would seem I was wrong.

    I also assumed that this flight was bound for Kuwait, therefore, the passengers were treated incredibly unfairly and deserve every bit of compensation they could get. I surprised there wasn’t even more severe action taken against the airline.

    I have flown 2 return transatlantic flights with Britannia on a 767-300 (Orlando Sanford and La Romana, Dominican Republic) and a short haul to Girona on the 767-200.

    I don’t know if you saw the seat pitch information I posted the other day, but Britannia was on it’s own at the bottom, offering just 28″ in their economy class.

    Britannia certainly has the best in-flight services I have experienced on charter airlines. We were well fed, punctuality is great, staff were extremely friendly for the duration of the flight and the aircraft was particularly clean.

    The 767-300s of Britannia hold either 315 or 328 passengers, so you’re a bit packed in, but it’s a pleasant flight and I seem to remember the entertainment, both on the radio and on the TVs were good, too. Unfortunately, not personal TVs on their aircraft, but you do get a handheld DVD player in their first class cabin. But this is standard for most airlines, as you probably know, only the MyTravel A330s have this feature.

    I’m sure you’ll have great fun, I certainly did!

    By the way, where are you flying to?

    And Kabir – I agree with the United 767s, they were without a doubt the best I’ve been on!

    One thing that concerns me about Virgin Atlantic operating the French-British aircraft is how it would look. Having seen Matthew Murray’s image of how it would look, I’m not so keen on the silver scheme.

    I think British Airways are being rather selfish with this whole situation. They have admitted that they are not gaining anything (financially) from the aircraft and passenger numbers have been low for nearly 3 years now. If they are having no success, then why should Virgin not be given a chance.

    The £1 offer I think is a little low. Obviously, British Airways only paid £1 for them, but let’s not forget inflation(!!) I remember the days when you could buy Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum for 12 pence a packet, a pretty average price. Now, it’s near enough double that, so I believe £2 is slightly better. :p

    But good luck to Mr. Branson. I think his airline is exciting and just wants the chance to fly an incredible aircraft (an arguable remark) along with the rest of his incredible Boeing/Airbus fleet. Concorde still has a few years left and to see all of them cutting their lives short to be housed in a museum isn’t the best option. Some of the aircraft should fly til the day they die!

    That sounds quite dramatic. Never head of this one. Surely, with a war building up, British Airways would have happily refunded the cost of each passengers’ ticket.

    But, in all fairness, they paid to get to Kuwait and they got there. The fact they had problems which were not in any way BA’s responsibility is not going to get them compensation.
