Thanks for the snippet. Sounds like all is simmering away gently in the background?!

Let's hope all goes well with the check ride and that the training issues will finally be resolved.

Now that Miniliner are in the UK as well with FK27's, where does this leave the poor old 748's? Still no flying, over 4 month's on from the AOC issue.

It would be very nice if they could deliver one of the a/c to Duxford for the outside display. Best done now before they are impounded and eventually cut up?

There has been quite an amount of circuit bashing at Liverpool this week.

Maybe, just maybe.............

Circuit bashing to be expected - and with intent.

Let's hope for a 'happy' post from those that know in the near future.

The static display at Duxford may just have to wait...

Budgies looking good
I'm biassed but at least the budgies looked really good on the tarmac at Speke a couple of days ago; much more sparkling than ever they did in Emerald days. Could be an illusion of course.

Good luck E1

very nice - are these a/c static dispays or do they earn any money?
or, did mr j earn so much out of jem he can afford to paint a couple of 748's up with his name on them - like he shud have done all those years ago but never did

Update
Good morning all

Just a quick line to update you on progress.

The CAA check rides all went OK and we now have an approved TRE on the HS748. As soon as the CAA approve the TRTO application we will be looking at running a training course to get some more crews on-line.

As of Monday 29th September we will commence operations on the freighter service LPL-IOM-LPL, 5 days a week. Potential customer reaction to the new service has been positive and we would hope to bring onboard all those shippers who used to use the old Emerald service, which ran for many years.

Commercial activity is still focused on securing long term contracts, but the IOM freighter service will enable us, at long last, to commence operations.

Excellent news.

No doubt the 'Falcon's Crutch' can look forward an increase in trade?!!!

Happy days...

Is there a timescale for the issue of the TRTO approval or is it in the lap of the (CAA) Gods?!
