Friends down in Cornwall are asking about when is best to see the 787 landing/on the deck when it is down for training over the next few weeks. I realise that's probably difficult to answer with precision, but if anyone can indicate whether the bulk of time will be spent doing approaches/touch&go at Newquay, or away doing circles out over the Atlantic it would be much appreciated.

So I guess the 20 737 MAX9 are replacements for Thomson's Boeing 757-200s, while the other 40 Boeing 737 MAX8 could end up with any of TUI Travel's airlines (with the excpetion of Corsair). Not sure who will be given priority? I guess it could be TUIfly as they have, IIRC, the oldest fleet of Boeing 737-800s, being one of the launch customers for the type. They will have to replace 25 or so airframes.

Thank you for the webcam link although it isn't the greatest quality but I did get to see the second 787 depart at 23.00 UK time on delivery althoug the live ATC did help.
There have been a lot of posts re aircraft training but is there going to be a publicity tour for the aircraft to the other airports it will opertaing from in the next 12-18 months such as EMA, BHX, GLA, NCL etc

Dream-on liner?
Dreamliner.....Dream-on! folks....
Just look at the seating configs....just statin' the truth...apart from slightly improved 'air'...(when maintained properly)...what has any full fare paying 3-star max holiday-maker got to look forward to with this aircraft? Can we get real?
5-stars on charters = max 3 stars in real life, flights, hotels, whatever....de facto.
Who really has had a truly comfortable med/long haul experience with Thomson, Monarch, Thomas Cook or whatever the name UK-based charter in the last decade? (let alone, scheduled carrier, btw! heheh).
Heading back to my truthful nuke shelter....lol....
A welcome sight to UK aviation. Well done Thomson for getting everything organised and running despite all the delays there were. It's a shame the word 'Britannia' wasn't on the sides instead of Thomson! It would have been a truly great day for the industry.
