The Airport 86 film I've referred to above can be found on Vimeo. The quality isn't the best but it's perfectly adequate. Good to see the old banger in action, defying the lousy weather at both ends...

I've just remembered that WLAD had a starring role in BBC Airport 1986. Mike Smith took a jump seat ride behind Capt. Jeff Price and chum on the BD413 from LBA to LHR one foul November morning. He...

Speaking of 737s I also remember a Trans European machine in the late eighties painted in half a Diamond scheme. This aeroplane often used to drop into LBA from Teesside on its way to Heathrow....

Hello WHBM. We've discussed 1-11s before. Last time it was the Adria Rombac machines from 1987.

WLAD seems to be quite a talked about aircraft. I think BMA sub-leased it to Manx when the DC9...

If you haven't already seen it type "Glasgow Airport 1984" into YouTube and watch the film from that year. It features G-BFZL in a semi-starring role along with a few DC9s and Caledonian, Britannia...

H49,

I used to work with an ex-BMA DM at LBA. I am informed that G-WLAD was also a very reliable aeroplane (but then so were the Viscounts and DC9s) but some of the seating was rather old...

Thanks Airbanda, I think I understand. I've used "pattern" in that context but not "diagram".

The last BMA DC9 flight from LBA was in 1994. Thereafter it was a mix of Fokker 70/100 and 737 Classic...

I didn't know that any of the DC9s had ever been stored whilst BMA had them, although it would obviously explain a shortage of jets. I knew BMA had started a gradual withdrawal of the Viscounts and...

G-WLAD British Midland and Airways Cymru

First of all thankyou to everyone who contributed to my BIA/Air Anglia thread.

Now then, does anybody know the circumstances that led to British Midland leasing this BAC 1-11 from Airways Cymru ?...
