Comic Relief bizjet into Northolt...?
 
Anybody know whose bizjet was used to bring Chris Moyles and the Comic Relief celebs back into Northolt earlier this eve...?!

AircraftOperations 9th Mar 2009 19:46

Wonder who would have paid for that...
The celebs themselves? The BBC? Fundraisers?

Who cares?
They raised around £1m. So doe's it really matter? :ugh:

Those donating money might think so.

I would hope the owner/operator footed the bill.....perhaps I'm being naive:hmm:

I wouldn't for a minute knock what these folk have just done, something I wont be attempting anytime soon but, as I 'donate to the cause' I'd like to be sure my money is well spent. Of course there are overheads but, whats wrong with y class into LHR?

The Moss:ok:

Jeez...some people need to lighten up!!! Why so critical the whole time? :confused:

robash 10th Mar 2009 09:30

for those who are looking for some reason to have an argument over this, the aircraft was a twinjet 604 and was not paid for by comic relief. end of story.

Looking at the news last night they were all stood in front of G-HARK / Twinjet. A quick look on CFMU reveals that it was infact Luton the flight operated into.

The Other Side.

Calm down calm down, it was just a question!

Which as of a minute ago I can now answer - Gary Barlow paid £50k for the jet that brought them home, it was a surprise for his team mates.

And if it did go into Luton, don't know why Radio 1 were reporting on the arrival from...Northolt!

AircraftOperations 10th Mar 2009 11:16

So did they fly into the UK from Africa or Netherlands on the jet then?

Privatejetbroker 10th Mar 2009 11:27

G-HARK flew AMS - NHT

after picking the pax up from their KQ flight

(then the aircraft flew back to its home base LTN)

AircraftOperations 10th Mar 2009 11:34

OK.

Just hope Gary Barlow wasn't charged £50k for a AMS-NHT flight, and the figure is just a bit of media speculation.

Privatejetbroker 10th Mar 2009 11:39

yup, i somewhat suspect the media 'plucked' that figure from the air!!

more like 15K maybe!
