Just watched the last episode and thought it was very good. I see they are still using the old air terminal building but remember Project Future Brize Web site saying they were building a new air terminal due to the increase in pax handling with the closure of LYN and the bigger capacity air tanker coming into operation. Any ideas when the new facility opens ?

Nice to see they are using proper airport busses at last, last time I went through they were using the old 55 seat coaches that took for ever to fill and empty.

Well spotted. Brize is suppose to be the AT and AAR hub yet they have not spent anything on improving the passenger terminal or cargo facilities since the arrival of Lyneham. Like most things with future Brize - pathetic!

Blue Bottle.... Did we see the same episode? A mover telling us where David Beckham had a slash, bollocking someone for a lack of HiVis and organising "lunch" for a colleague in the gateway wasn't exactely riveting viewing...

I thought the young couple being followed through the process was OK, also lots of interesting background stuff for those of us that don't normally see it, yer some of it was cheesy but all done with good humour I thought !

So,just to recap,we've had Damo's strutting about full of importance with their hi-viz jackets,over weight medics,air stewards in tailored flying suits and not a ginger in sight or mentioned. Am I missing something?
