I know that is one way of getting home but surely you do not turn to the passengers when you’re in an awkward situation!
Good of the passenger to lend £7000 of his/her own hard-earned cash and I can only hope they received some compensation or a little bonus for their generosity!

On the other hand, I recently read one of my mum’s many women’s magazines and came across an article about a pensioner who flew with Virgin Atlantic to Los Angeles from Heathrow.
She was sat next to an incredibly obese lady and claims that she was in discomfort. The crew sat her on one of their seats in the galley for a few hours at a time and she had to return to her own seat for turbulence and landing etc.
It turns out that the fat lady’s husband was sat behind and did not have to endure any pain from his severely overweight wife.
Hardly surprising, Granny Nag can no longer walk without a walkig stick.
As a result, Virgin paid out £13,000 compensation.
Wonderful
Very nice. I’m not a fan of their tracksuit-type uniforms though!
I have recently picked up on touch typing and can do a good 50 words per minute and much prefer using the computer to write something even if it’s only a few words. For me, it’s a far quicker alternative.

Welcome Mark L,
Were you at Farnborough 2002? My gran used to live on Ship Lane in Farnborough and I live not too far away in Reading.
Coincidence – the same message at exactly the same time!
Postponed til May!
I’ve just tuned into BBC2 and they say the sotry of flight 587 will now be shown in May.
Ah well!
Marvellous – would have been great to have seen it for real.
Welcome aboard Laiming – always nice to meet new people here! 🙂
I’d say it was possible.
It’s like Connexions (Boeing) introducing internet access on flights like they have started with Lufthansa – live contact with the ground.
Am I just completely stupid or did someone say a few months ago that JetBlue screened live television from the ground?
I saw an An-124 18 months ago when I was going on holiday. When we could see the airport from the air, the aircraft really stood out and on the ground it was a great sight – huge!
Looking forward to the 225 pics.
Not a cricket man myself, but I’ve have quite happily gone along to see something which I can only imagine as being spectacular!
Any photos available?
But with Air France and Lufthansa for example, there may be a long-haul flight being flown by an A380 which goes to it’s destination via. Heathrow. This is one way that local operators may operate the aircraft into London.
Very nice.
How long would it have taken to strip the green off and paint that on?
