Titan Airways........
fresh fruit and veg can now be found in abundance
...Having travelled to the FI with a variety of operators/aircraft in the course of 7 dets, I'd agree that the 747 was far and away the best - more comfortable than Air Luxor and BMI's A330s, and more reliable than Globespan's DC-10 (the one where you could still see the 'Air India' logo under the thin coat of red paint which Gobspan had sprayed on the tail). It seemed impervious to crosswinds as well - or maybe the Captain had shares in Pirelli

Titan,
Please make an unsolicited bid for the Cyprus Trooper!
Which ever agent/broker was responsible for Sunday's debacle needs lynching! And for the MOD/HQ BFC, if it was your money, would you have paid for a service like that?

Errr, Globespan's aircraft were 767-300's and I am pretty sure ex-Air New Zealand.
The DC10's were from Omni International.

Fresh Fruit
I went to the FI in Jan 1986, staying at MPA (as it was then) to take over facilities from the contractors. For the first 10 weeks or so I lived under the contractors' rules - unlimited fruit and veg, duvets,etc. Then the services took over - they replaced my duvet with blankets and the rule became one piece of fruit a week - "it's all you need to stay "regular"". We eventually got the duvets back, after a lot of pushing. Never did get more fruit or fresh salad.

Didn't he take 'The Trooper' into Kandahar one night?
A lot of the posts here refer to "posh" seats on the Falklands airbridge - previous operators have often had these, but having arrived on the Titan 767 this morning at Brize, I can say that the current aircraft is all single class high-density seating, no posh seats to be seen. The aeromed area taking up the back section means that there are only about 220 seats though (my estimate, not verified).
Service was good, but whoever negotiated the permanent contract with Bistro Express or whoever, for the paninis and wraps still needs firing...........
