Morayshire is lovely in the spring/summer/autumn and you can fly from Luton to Inverness with Sleazyjet for about 30 quid each way! :ok:

The less I say about some of the people at Sunderland is for the better.

That's a rather scathing remark. Care to elaborate?

Went to Sunderland once for a footy match against Fulham; locals all very pleasant; they had a burger van with sliced pork baps (ie not pulled pork) and they were very tasty.

Can't find my previous thread but as I predicted, all 4 BAe 146s belonging to 32 (Royal) Sqdn are to be disposed of with the 2 CCMk 2s going to museums at Duxrord and St Athan and the Mk 3s being sold off.
I'm aware that there is a leased A321 assigned to 'royal/government' use based at Stansted, but that would be a bit 'marginal' for Northolt's shortish runway so what is 32 Sqdn going to use; my earlier suggestion of a pair of A220s?

From a long time ago. With a military aircrew signature as well. My grandfather pointed him out and I knew whom he was then. Never asked him if he hated the nickname.

Registered G-CMEU to AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE SERVICES LTD at an address in Lingfield on 27-01-2022. To allow servicable parts to be swopped off?

Pionair Australia to acquire two surplus Royal Air Force BAe 146 transports

The UK Royal Air Force (RAF) is poised to end operations with its British Aerospace BAe 146 transports, and has sold its two most recently acquired examples to a commercial operator in Australia.

Reading in Flypast I think, the Aussies acquired all 4 but donated 2 to the museums, swopping out low houred engines for timex ones after delivery, so much for the RAF donating them, still think Cosford would have been better than Duxford.

The only reason to go to NWI was for a "hat on" interview. Avoid like the plague. In my time I was based at ABZ, HUY, LBA, STN, LBA (again) and STN (again). That'll do.
