Sad to see these two aircraft leaving for the knackers yard. I was on the ramp at LTN when NR arrived from Toulouse, and it felt like such a big jump forward for MON, all down to Alan Snuddens vision, and as for CD, to many it's just another 320 but the gentleman it was named in honour of, he was scary, knowledgeable, well respected, and mad in equal measures, RIP the original PCD and his 320 G-MPCD.

D5 Architects LLP - News
I would say a significant bit of news for Monarch, BHX and the greater West Midlands. Has somebody jumped the gun here?
Not sure if the link will open but just Google d5 architects if not. It seems to open at the Homepage but just click the news/press release link.

Think you need to take a much closer look! It depends on what you are looking at, dates etc. If no direct route exists on a day, it will show indirect flights. The new routes are direct/non-stop.

That's interesting to hear about MPCD being named after somebody, wasn't aware of that. I know it's a bit spotter-ish, but MON has a few regs in the fleet that don't correspond with the others (MAJS, OJMR, DAJB, MRJK, MARA, OJEG... and both A330's - EOMA and SMAN). Anyone know if there's a story behind these as well?

I see that, having done their last flights, no time was wasted in the process of getting them off the books. 'NR flew MAN-BRU earlier this morning, with 'CD following a few minutes behind.

Monarch registrations
I'm ashamed to say that even after 8 years working for them, I wasn't aware of aircraft registrations being named after people. I remember well Jim Rainbow, Don McAngus, Jack Burridge and Peter Dorrington. Sadly I left before Alan Snudden took office, so never knew him.
