It's a 4* actually. Plenty of 2, 3 and 4 sector days thanks.

I wonder if LOCOG et al might have had some say in the scheduling of the trip? Or maybe it was dictated by the 3 BA pilots....

'Sorry Seb, Becks, Your Maj etc, I know you want to do the whole ceremonial thing in the standard 35 minute 319 turnaround, but the boys and I fancy a cheeky kebab and a glass of retsina the night before....'



Guess Monarch would've done it differently would they?

I think that with all the cost for this torch a BOX of MATCHES would have done the job just as well

Well Becks is a footballer... At least he got 2 letters of the 4 letter acroymn of Culdrose's title...He didn't say "Army" did he? He might also be an Olympian if Phsyco says yes...

Bad Skills from the BA painters.. Edge seal little decals and they might stay attached.

On a similar(ish) note, roughly what might it have cost to have that A319 paint job done? Last time I had a door sized portion of a car prepped and re-sprayed it weren't at all cheap!
