Monarch -2

Thanks for that. I wondered why there were 5 at BHX instead of the usual 4.

If fixed then that means one of them is due to go to MAN tomorrow then. i think

Hi all,

I'm hoping some Monarch people can help me with a query I have. In the mists of time (1993), I am sure I flew my first time to Orlando International with Monarch Airlines from Manchester. 20 years have clouded the memory somewhat (I was a young teenager at the time), but I'm sure it was Monarch. I seem to remember stopping to refuel on the way there in (possibly) Bangor in Maine. Searching through the web I'm guessing it was probably an A300-600R that I flew on, but seems a long route for such type.

Anyone else flew this, or can confirm this?

Thanks in advance all.

It probably was a A300-600 or 757, i was based in Bangor MAEL outstation at this time and can vouch for the 4 A300's and 6 757's amongst other Airlines we looked after that used to trundle through twice a day to and from the UK.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I'm sure I'd have some old negatives somewhere floating about if I could find them! I do remember it being a bit cold and wet on my first trip to the USA!

I flew that route on a Monarch 757 refuelling in Bangor, do you remember how many aisles might be your give away.

Haven't seen this posted anywhere else (and I don't know if there are any seats left) but I've just noticed for anyone interested, Monarch are offering an enthusiasts Day Trip to GIB from LTN with a tour of GIB Air Traffic Control and a Monarch Hangar. More details here: Enthusiasts Day Trip to Gibraltar

I'm sure crewing, ops and maintrol will be ecstatic at the end of their night shift having spotters walking about asking questions...

When are we going to get a proper update on whats happening with Monarch's fleet renewal.

[Tight Seat]

I guess after the owners sign the contract. I'm sure that they can't wait to tell all of us here on pprune !

An A330-200 has been painted in the Garuda Indonesia titles with Monarch colours again but this time its EOMA not SMAN

I once flew on a Monarch 720b Luton to Antigua via Bangor.
1980 I think.
We came back via Santa Maria.

Monarch now moving to T2 on the 15th Nov isntead of the 8th. Dont know why they have changed the date they have changed it for EZY as well but that date has not been confirmed yet.

[TSR2]

Good grief Benod how many times have you asked this question in the last few months. I'm sure someone will post details as and when they are finalised.

[MKY661]

Just going on another subject here but I dont remember Monarch doing any charter flight betwee LGW and AGP is it new or something? Flight numbers were MON8456/MON8457

[Benod]

Maybe I have but personally i think it has taken Monarch far too long to decide there plans for the future. By the way does anyone know which planes will be next to have the new livery on them?

[MKY661]

Im not sure yet but One of the A300's (MR) is stuck at LTN at the moment unless its a tech fault.

I Hope EOMA which has gone to garuda will be painted in it when it comes back.

By the way do any of you know why ZB661 from Malaga has diverted to LPL. Looked on flightradar24.com didnt even make an approach into MAN.

[Airbus321-200]

G-OZBT will be going in for a change of decals about now. The current Livery is too be tweeked.

[MKY661]

Maybe thats why it swapped with OZBI at TFS today then

[Benod]

I wonder what they will change to the livery!
