Posted by: Banuthev - Recently I heard that G-WWBM has now been returned at Manchester Airport? Is that true? As you all know G-WWBM (A332) was used by BMI and it was stored in Dresden for few months.

Why all the Turkish flights ?
Simple the Euro exchange rate ! Tourists are voting with their feet and apart from that Turkey is a great holiday destination. Cheap food, drink, good night life and really nice sea, wish I was there
My folks have a house on the Costa Blanca (doesnt everyone ?) they have noticed a massive decline in visitors over the last 18 months, they say some hotels are getting boarded up and businesses are failing.

Does anyone know why the late BD and BA flighs have been curtailed down to LHR. Is it a change to the summer schedule or adhoc use of a slot filler. The BD595 I think used to leave about 21.10 local and there was a slightly earlier BA flight by about 30-45 mins.

Quick question, I saw a C17 climbing out of Manchester (could have been Woodford) when I was out yesterday - anyone know why?
Nice to see something different in the sky, worth interrupting my golf game for anyway!

Went to MAN last Friday and got the latest MAN flights book from the aviation shop in T1 arrivals and noticed that both LH Dusseldorf and Hamburg flights are now operated by CR900's? Is this correct? Last time I saw them (Dec 09) when I went to HAM it was a crappy CRJ200 and the DUS was CRJ700. HAM used to have the 700 for the evening flights a few years ago but then resorted to the 200 for all flights. Aren't LH getting rid of their 200's? There cramped and crap not to mention noisey!

UAE18 being impatient
Just seen a youtube video that shows AIR1 and UAE18 having a disagreement on 5th May I believe. Seems to me as if UAE18 is simply selfish and not letting the local airfield lot do their job!!!! Wanted to know why AIR1 wouldn't let them go even though a runway inspection was taking place!

It's another case of how little difference the size of a business or organisation is, there is always one man who has overriding powers. Very well dealt with by ATC. I'm sure if any of the US airlines were still on the ground (doubt it at 13.30), they would be distraught to hear a fellow American acting so unprofessionally.
It reminds me of something referee Graham Poll once said: "You can buy the biggest football clubs in the world, you can buy the best players, but only one man has control of that team's destiny."
Or something like that!
