Anymore news on MONK

G-MONK positioning into DTVA as MON757P.

The end :{

You mean the aircraft or your rolling posts on all things Monarch 757's :rolleyes:

It is the correct place for Monarch stuff.

For MONK :{

Now two ex-MON 757s at Kemble, gradually dying.

They aren't dying, they're being murdered.

... donated to medical science?

RIP G-MONK
 

I had seen her many times & finally flew on her to Lanzarote (and maybe back).
Beautiful, elegant.
Off to look for a Skymarks model..
I promise not to taxi it around the floor then take off on a cardboard runway

or you could buy a tin of coke to have as a reminder on the mantelpiece ;)

I wonder if jet2 will be stocking up on spare parts from the monarch 757

Icelandair have bought all 3 for spares

ALL FLIGHTS OPERATED DURING DISPUTE
 

I see that Monarch managed to operate a full programme of flights over the recent French Air Traffic dispute albeit with a number of delays and re-routes. A hearty pat on the back to all staff I think is called for.

Yeah being a small insignificant player has its benefits occasionally. A small fleet operating just a few flights is bound to be easier than AF/BA/EZ/FR.

Noticed a number of sub charters last weekend even a Spanish 757!

(video camera attached to headset, if anyone was wondering ;))

Is there a 757 in those shots :cool:

er.......yes.

Incidentally, whilst I'm here, I was surprised that there was no mention by the FR24 monitoring brigade regarding the somewhat snappy diversion of ZB994 (BHX-HRG) into BDS yesterday. I suspected it was a medical diversion but the a/c seemed to have stayed longer than would be expected. So now I have joined the nosey parker brigade!

Believe it diverted due to burning smell in cockpit
