A Roar
 

Lionel why a "Roar"

Airbus Party
 

Any news of a farewell party for all those who worked on the "Widen Your Horizons" A300 fleet. I don't suppose PM would stump some funds for a bash at the Avon Causway like he did for the Electra and Herald.

sheesh - am I out the loop these days!

seems a shame that CEX has gone this way, but I guess all good things come to an end.

if there are any ex Herald or L188 drivers/crew out there, I'd like to say thanks a million :D I was one of the land drivers that used to cag lifts from and to the "small island" between '88-'92 - good times! :{

Were any of you guys A300 L/M when you were flying out of LUX? Its a long time ago now, but I remember trading a tour of a 300 conversion v. a 744F. Gave each other explanations, good/bad points etc. The one thing that stuck in my mind was having to push a pallet uphill into the tail :ouch:

The few guys that I met (sorry, names long time forgotten) were gentlemen. That much sticks in the grey matter!

Seem to recall flights from LUX to Orebro many years ago? Sure FDD was involved in those early flights.

CR2,

It was indeed me who traded a 747-400 Peep against the A300F looksie.

Yes a long time ago CR2 and as for Orebro, I remember it for the Swedish nurses at the teaching hospital and a bar bill that wiped out my allowances by the end of a trip away.

Also strange in the fact that most of those A300 loadies are now flying with GSS out of STN.

Small world eh!

Where is Paskins these day's? AST 1995

Hi Bacon,

Paskins has also become a member of the Essex Geezer club!!

Still sports a natty line in Chocolate Hobnobs, but keeps very dodgy company with a purveyor of dungeon equipment.

I heard that he sleeps with one eye open now ala Basil Falwty due to the hamster next door shouting Armegeddeon!

His next offer for command is belived to be Holmsley Airfield?

Ah Paskins - saw the old boy(!) at Castlepoint a few months ago.
Doing well.

FDD, has he been issued his balaclava yet!

See ya soon.

C o' G

Yes,
along with studded dog collar and lead. It's the white mini skirt and high heels that worry me as he goes through VP2!

That is a worry.
VP1 will be OK though, that's the norm!;)

Or just walk through the United Pot Smugglers' shed like the DFT!

Hey you can even ignore the airport DN and not bother wearing a hi viz vest on the ramp, cos you're synchronising the world with empty containers.
