Sorry to be a bother but wondering if anyone could tell me the runway length at Bristol.Is it still Lulsgate,or has that long gone.
Also,is there still a hump on the runway?
Is Servisair still the main handling agent?
Many thanks for any help,and apologies if I am on the wrong forum

In order - 2011m/Bristol International/yes, it was designed by a french chap with a back problem and a hatred of bells/yes, unfortunately.

Clear as mud?

Why am I Bristol bashing?
I live in Clifton,and have the highest regard for the airport
and want to support it in my book.
There must be something I am not aware of,otherwise you would not have replied in the way you did.
I only asked a question.
I helped setting up the only Bristol based airline,and with the stockmarket crash,we followed.
Paramount will return

I didn't think it was the stockmarket crash that did for Paramount. More to do with the MD or some similar level chappie who ran off with lots of money I seem to remember reading in the Daily Mail.

Seems I have hit a raw nerve somewhere,so have changed from
Bristol to Cardiff.An empty 757 arrives in the early evening,and then departs to Malaga the next morning on an ACMI basis for a charter airline suffering with a few tech problems.Aircraft arrives
and departs with no problem.
Only reason I asked who the handling agent is,if I was using their
real name,would have to get their permission to do so,and they have the right to see the necessary paragraphs prior to publication.This also applies to the airport director if using a real airport.
Just hope Cardiff are a little more friendly!!

prb46 - you obviously misinterpreted the tongue in cheek nature of my comment. I was not suggesting that you or anyone was slagging off Bristol, merely that all the threads recently regarding Bristol has degenerated into them getting a load of stick.

prb46.

You can't blame the folk at Bristol for being a bit touchy, they've had to put up with a fair old bit of stick on these hallowed pages recently. They are a lovely bunch for sure and a pleasure to work with if a touch wordy!
Today at BRS. CAVOK and +5 celsius. BRS still in LVP's with "freezing rain warning current", "frost warning current" and "snow warning current". (titter!).

Standard. how do you spell "gurt lush"?

Cheers BF

One of the advantages of being from Belfast, no one has ever accused me of being able to speak English. I shall not want to disappoint anybody by starting.

Hmm....Gert lush warning......that would be an interesting one!

Of course, you can buy T Shirts in town that say "Gert Lush" on them, I have one. Every Bristolian or Bristol resident should have one! Even you, Noisy!

My fave is one I saw last week -

'One by one, the pixies steal my sanity', it reminds me of being at work.
