I thought Titan was taking on more Airbus rather than getting rid of some.

What news of any more aircraft joining. Will they need them to cover the Jet2 and BA contracts next summer??
What about he A330 rumours?? Thanks |
Word is on ZAP-POW`s currently..
G-POWS B734 The 2nd ex BA machine & for ops as a pax a/c in it`s first season. G-POWT A321 The replacement for `POWI & ex MON. Both due Spring`18. |
Why G-POW_? Many airlines have an identifiable reason for the recurring part of the reg. but I’ve never been able to put POW together with Titan and I need to know!
|
I suggest ZAP and POW relate to the noises cartoon characters make when fighting
|
Top Bunk
Never thought of that but very feasible Ian |
zap! and pow! was from batman tv series
|
Yes always was & totally as conceived...Genuis...
Callsign ZAP & reg sequence POW*.....& as stated from the old batman TV series with the drawn insets when there was a fight... But now up to POWT so soon to run out of that sequence alas. With the earlier blue livery the globe on the side was a representation of the largest moon of Saturn....Titan!!. |
There lots of G-ZAPs in the early days - think I travelled on ZAPD, a Shorts 360
|
Yes....quite right first in that original sequence was ZAPA a C404.
To POW`s when that sequence ran out. Tragically one of the original founders of Titan was killed when ZAPP his Christen Eagle aerobatic a/c crashed one evening back in 1990. |

Yes....quite right first in that original sequence was ZAPA a C404. Their ICAO designator of AWC is a bit odd, perhaps selected for Aircraft Worldwide Charter? Perhaps they thought ZAP was a bit alarming for a departures board. |
Yes...AWC prefix effectively the only part that doesn't fit a genius idea...

Quite correct Monty, a tribute to Allen Chapman.

I believe AWC are the initials of the joint founder who was killed in the crash mentioned a few posts earlier. A tribute perhaps.
Digging into ICAO history revealed that the designator POW is allocated to Hagondale Ltd. Weren't they Titan's owners at some point? Update: still active on Companies House with same address and directors as Titan. |
