Window Blinds
The decals applied to the window blinds are at this time only fitted to one a/c so l am told, which is "BT" the original new livery a/c.
So far the airline has not asked MAEL to apply them to other a/c.

MAN/LGW to GOI
Can somebody answer me a question please?
Now that the MAN/LGW to GOI's are operated by A332's do they still stop at BAH to refuel or do they operate either way non-stop.
Thanks in advance to whoever answers

A330's
The beauty of having flightradar24 and such makes tracking of some aircraft fairly easy.
The A330 mentioned is currently descending into one of the Gulf airports having left Brize (per the trail).
Outbound earlier this morning from one of the gulf airports was an A300 although not sure where this is going. Another A300 is showing GOI-MAN due 17.15 and the other two on ski flights.
So it seems one A330 and one A300 are in and out of Brize at present. I have certainly noticed the A300 inbound Brize this week and the A330 has been all over the shop but the latter seems to do mainly IT work such as Goa's with a little dash of MOD work as well - source flight.data24.com.

One of the A330's (EOMA) is at MAN having maintenence done and getting the new decals applied. The second one (SMAN) which usually today does MAN - GOI - MAN has taken off from an airport near Oxford (im not sure what its called as i cannot find it anywhere but its in the Fairford area) and that has gone off to do a flight but im not sure where to.

It`s about this time that a lot of the army guys are having their half tour R&R
This runs from Nov thru late Jan I think for the guys in Afghan
and then there will be another series of runs I think June-Aug
It is quite complicated and involves a number of airlines and routes

Whats with the new Summer timetable from Luton... Tenerife is down to x3wk (Fri&Sat), Lanzarote x1wk (Thu). Looks like Corfu has changed from being a night flight to afternoons, Rome has gained a Thursday & Palma (both Saturday flights originate at Luton).
Anymore that I havent seen, and any changes from the other bases?

Not sure what is going on with the Luton timetable. Some days see now see 5 departures in a morning. Either a lot of re-jigging to the schedules is required or perhaps the 5th aircraft that was due to leave will be no longer?

F/O puts flaps&slats up instead of Gear up.

Heard mon are expanding at BHX this year How are they doing at other airports, is the ryanair factor having a effect?
Hint: Venice, Rome, Heraklion, Dubrovnik and Milan.
What is "the ryanair effect" ?

So Monarch gave the big Elbow to the 787, well how long they planning on flogging those old A306Rs then both on some long haul and on medium haul high density routes. What will Monarch replace the A306 with for high density PMI summer and those TFS in winter. No more wide bodies on order and if the a306 leave and the odd remaining 330 does long haul, then what wide body will do high density charter. Seems to me there is a lack of true 757 replacement and also 767/A300 replacement for UK charter carriers who need such aircraft replacements. Monarch has kicked those 787s out of bed, but for what, a 321 cant do a banjul can it? Why was no 757.a300/a310/767 replacement for charter airlines considered by manufacturers, there is obv a clear need as evidenced by all those 757s, 767s, in the charter fleets of UK airlines, they cant replace them.
Monarch through the years
I was in the background (with Cosmos Tours) when Monarch started and then worked for them at Luton 1977 to 1985 at which time they were operating B720, B707, 1-11 and 737 aircarft. They were good then and sounds like they're just as good now although a lot bigger of course.
