BOAC - the same here, also yesterday: intermittent working.
Some days ago I had opened this thread on R&N:
http://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/3771...ase-error.html
Where there are pasted the "error messages" me, you and others are getting.
Even though my PPRuNeing experience is very limited,
it started on the 1st of June 2009,
thus probably in connection with the peak of users and guests:
"Most users ever online was 11,419, 1st June 2009 at 12:46."
registered in concomitance with that tragic air accident you mentioned.
Greetings!
