OK, thanks. The arrivals board at CWL shows it as coming from DLM but this must be a mistake.

More fun and games at Cardiff as the TOM6685 Kos-Cardiff is more than 24 hours delayed.

Details on the delay can be found here. No official response from Thomson as of yet.

The aircraft was originally supposed to arrive back last night after it's initial delay. It has now gone from 17:20 today to 00:45 tomorrow.

I understand that if the aircraft had to divert due to bad weather then maybe the crew would require minimum rest etc, but this flight is well over 24 hours delayed and the delay is keep getting strecthed.

There could be several reasons for the extended delay including Technical reasons or possibly Greek ATC playing a part.

KGS-CWL

Looks like the 'fog' is only affecting the Cardiff flight. All others have arrived and departed form KGS as normal today.

I thought this was a joke, but what on earth is the "Wales Air Network News Centre"?!

Its obviously a busy facility given that a Thomson delay is headline news!

The Wales air network news centre has aviation news from around Wales. It's part of the Wales air network group. These are all volunteers with no funds.

The ambition of these guys is to have a better aviation industry in Wales.

Don't knock them cause someones got to try.

Over 100 people a day visit the news centre. They had regular advice on volcanic disruption and goldtrail incident.

BigDaddy:

A daily news service of several stories dealing with local industry interest run by volunteers should be welcomed rather than sneered at. After all, what are you personally doing that is constructive rather than giving you the chance to promote your own views?

Re: your real identity

Mr Gittins, most PPRuners know I'm a former CWL head of department. However you, as a current and influential figure at the airport, continue to post here as though you are at arms-length. Surely it is time for you to come out so that readers know where you are really coming from?

Another forum I frequent suffers some what from spamming attempts by this so called "Wales Air Network" fraternity site for welsh sheep farmers.

If its welsh sheep farmers it would be 'Lambing' not 'Spamming'

Are they trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes?

Wales Air Network does not spam. In general, the organisation has no need to: other sites tend to talk about its content (and nick it occasionally!)

Sheep jokes? Think you are the first? Enjoy Rhod Gilbert here:

YouTube - ‪Rhod Gilbert Part 1‬‎

and then realise how unoriginal you are.

Interesting that Mr. Gittins hasn't responded!

Response ?

As I haven't posted for a while here, I am at a loss to understand your exact position here.

I also fail to understand your current status of being an ex post holder from CWL has any bearing here????

My view is that self-interest like yours should be admitted on this forum. Of course, PPruners have the right to be anonymous. However, many of your posts are so connected with your CWL role that you should reveal yourself if you are to be honest with us.

Like so many times in the past, there is a hint of a 'war' in the air on this CWL thread. Anonymity is sacro-sanct on PPRuNe providing the person does not inflame, abuse or break the rules. There is the PM system and I suggest that if you want to discuss something we might otherwise moderate you had better clear the air.

Please take note.

Thanks for that ... Mr Gittins and I are PM'ing. On the other hand, mods, could you do something about the sheep nonsense ... particularly in a Welsh thread?
