I am guessing thumbs up from marshaller and tug driver pulls back a bit to waif for marshaller but not too far back so marshaller does not have to walk too far
Aircraft taxies
Tug driver and co are having wee chat on next task to do and forget to move back.
Get the TCut.

But that may not be the case

All is not right with this crowd.

There's a very busy weekend break market in each direction. Yay GoT!

Is the expanded security area operational yet?

GAZMO 7th Apr 2019 20:52

Had friend who passed through today and said it is fully open
took five mins to get through

BFS101 7th Apr 2019 23:22

Passed through the new security area on Saturday heading to Nice. 10.00 flight so after the first wave out, but through in 5 minutes or so.

BHD2BFS 7th Apr 2019 23:47

Is security now as modern as the machines at bhd? A revolving tray system that is in place at most airports ?

owenc 8th Apr 2019 10:52

It’s probably an expansion of the existing system.

Does anyone know the state of G-EZWC following the tug incident? Was through yesterday and noted a protective cover/tent type thing attached to the fuselage ahead of the engine on the side of impact. Has it received structural damage?

maybe it was along side it, to attach it would involve sticking or affixing it to the a/c, im sure the a/c has enough damage without that, friend.

Attached; adjective. joined, fastened, or connected to something.

I saw it with my own eyes. There were straps around the fuselage holiding it in place therefore the use of the word attached.

My choice of word was correct, friend. Unless you have any info about the state of the aircraft that you are at liberty to share, there isn’t much point in continuing this exchange.

Only the front half (forward of wings) has been neatly removed and taken off site. Anyone know where it went? Scrapping looked unlikely after such a neat job. Rear half still at BFS.

Thomas Cook - Summer 2020
 
Looking at Thomas Cooks Summer 2020 Timetable and notice that there are gaps on:

Monday Morning (No Antalya showing)
Wednesday Afternoon (No Larnaca showing)
Sunday Morning (No Reus showing)

Are they planning on adding these flights soon or are they going to start new routes? Bodrum on one of the days maybe?

More info would be welcome, where are you LTNman when we need your insider knowledge?

So, it’s all gone quiet on the disaster security stories.

To that end, after all my bitching when it was bad, I’ve got to say good job (mostly) on fixing the issues. Last two Tuesdays I’ve been through in no time since the changes.

The reason for “mostly” is because I’ve twice gone through in the evening to have people moved from the normal queue into the priority queue in front of me. Its a first world problem but a bug bearer when I’ve paid for a fast track service only to be slowed by those who haven’t.

owenc 21st May 2019 18:06


The security facilities are up to standard now. Nothing to complain about!

I have to agree about the fast track though!

GAZMO 23rd May 2019 05:57

Have to agree with the improvements at security
passed through this morning in 5 minutes

So what's the prognosis of Ryanair? Are they pulling out fully?
