Angel Air force Two

I see that Air Force two has been parked on the Harrods apron for the past three days. Does anybody know who is transitting through our local airpot. I must admit the colour scheme of the Air force jets does have class about it.

Bush rumoured to have been seen at the local curry house as he investigates Luton’s Muslims in his war on terror. Rumour has it that a cardboard cut out is standing in for him which is touring the southern States.

Question 26L/08R

Wouldn't it be the main runway if LLIA gets it's way with expansion plans? 4 x 2

No the existing runway would be 26R and 08L. Buster has written 26L and 08R

Quotes from the last minutes of LONDON LUTON AIRPORT CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE.

“There are currently two projects underway. Project Pegasus is a development of Terminal facilities and Project Solitaire is a development of a further two aircraft stands”

no talk here about runways!

Did I hint at a link?

ACDL are certainly not investing for a short term gain!

Off to hone my picnic basket snatching skills for London 2012!

First heats are in Brussels during April 2006, so I can shortly book to fly with BMI Regional and arrive on a Jungle Jet with all the other 'monkeys'. By the way, when can I actually book BMI?

According to BMI's 'trade' press release, I should now be able to. Not another Web Master cock up is it? If BMI are so interested in LTN-BRU, so will many others?

Buster, would you not be representing us in Melbourne in March 2006? Oh, if only Britannia (TUI) still flew to Oz. A 3000ft 26L/08R would allow bears galore to fly long haul.
The ACDL game plan is Long Term gain though for 2012 or 2030?

Imperial v Metric

Perhaps a 3000m rwy would be more use, unless Buster's flying in his VTOL exec jet again

The £35 million terminal redevelopment work is officially opened today despite the work not being finished yet. The then 9 month project was started on September 6th 2004 so should have been finished around May.

I wonder if the large lorry sized skip that has taken up residence outside the old terminal will be removed for the opening ceremony. The skip is still required as work continues on gutting the old departure lounge and expanding the baggage hall which was a real mess when I passed through it a week or two back. Well there is no gain without pain but no prizes for guessing that the dignitaries will be kept well away from this area when they arrive at LTN today.

The aircraft spends 5 hours at LTN before its second departure. More than enough time for another destination. Also noted is that Luton is not listed as a London airport.

Stand 60 has been finished now for over 4 months and still hasn’t been brought into service for self-parking easyjet 737’s which it was designed for. No prizes then that the BMI Embraer will be night stopped on this stand due to its small size and the fact that those easyjet’s don’t really fit.

Did Luton hit a 'Million in a Month' during August 2005?

Did anyone else get a consultation document glossing over the 'new runway' in thier local free newspaper?

26L/08R. Buster told you first!
