I suspect you have not been to some holiday destinations for Brits in Spain or elsewhere. I would suggest that apart from the presence of some attractive women the situation would not be much different at the bar.

I would suggest the only correct spelling would be in Arabic. How do you spell peabrain?

"I suspect you have not been to some holiday destinations for Brits in Spain or elsewhere."

Or Icelanders heading home at AMS.................. they used to fence them off from the other passengers in the bar

"I suspect that if you had shown even a glimmer of attention to one of the girls you may not, subsequently, have been in a fit state to operate back to the UK."

Very very wise advice - same applies in spades for discos in Moscow ;)

Just to the north of the airport is a rough strip marked on both ends “Belly Landing”. I never noticed it all the times I flew in there but it is quite obvious on google earth. Is this a leftover from when the airport was an Israeli base?

Having just returned from SSH a fair few Azur and Royal Flight aircraft on the ground. Anyone have anymore info?

Afaik Royal Flight have ceased trading, think one of their aircraft positioned to SNN from here recently as well

I’ve flown in there loads, and never noticed it!

Given the sand/dust storms they get, and how clear the writing is on the Google image, I’m surmising it’s a fairly recent addition.
