Orly or Charles de Gaul?

evansb 11th Dec 2007 20:16

Belfast, Northern Ireland?

Flap40 11th Dec 2007 20:38

Not Orly, CDG or Belfast.

I've checked the list at http://www.geocities.com/artificer35...007.htm?200728 and we have not had this one before.

Dublin?
Lots of green things.
Not sure about all the buildings in the background though.

Tiger_mate 11th Dec 2007 21:36

Stansted?
Based on the Air UK 146 alone
Belfast also has the green vehicles which I think are indicative of 'Servisair' Ground Handling agents, previously light blue.

AL1 It is Aviance and they cover te following airorts:
Aberdeen
Birmingham
Cardiff
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Jersey
Leeds Bradford
London Gatwick
London Heathrow
London Stansted
Manchester
Southampton
Teesside
Luton

So I will stick with Stansted and if not, Belguim - Brussels

Flap40 11th Dec 2007 22:20

Not Dublin, Stansted or Brussels.

The green vehicles all belong to Aer Lingus who were AirUK's handling agent at this airport.

PPRuNe Radar 11th Dec 2007 22:46

Shannon ??

Flap40 12th Dec 2007 06:58

Not Shannon either.

Aer Lingus handled Air UK at Heathrow and the 146 operated the Guernsey route.

Snifferdog 12th Dec 2007 08:14

Methinks LHR too!!

Flap40 12th Dec 2007 08:14

Correct!

The pic was taken from the steps of the Alliance Air 747SP that used to park next to us. It was taken on the last afternoon of 146-100 series services for AirUK and the LHR-GCI route closed the day after.
The Penta hotel is visible in the background.

Sad or what?
 
Last night I dreamed I answered this challenge.

Phileas Fogg 12th Dec 2007 08:27

146-100?

Obviously after my day, the Guernsey route had been operated by HP7's, then normal sized Fokkers, then F27-500's before the first Air Yuk 146-200's took over and second day of service on the route the 146-200 needed an engine change after the oil went lumpy with bits of metal.

If you've ever seen the Channel TV programme 'A day in the flight of', filmed circa 1988 about Air Yuk 146(s), then I'm the ugly f*cker of the Ops Controller of the day that had a starring role.

OPEN HOUSE

Snifferdog 13th Dec 2007 18:34

OK! I'll make it as easy as I can! It's a paradise for surfers! :)

Flap40 13th Dec 2007 18:43

It's Coolangatta.
It only took 30seconds (yesterday) to find the answer since that photo is on your website but I thought I would leave it for someone else.
