Hi,

Can anyone tell me what aircraft Britannia/Thomson/Thomsonfly (!) base at London/Stansted over the summer?

Thanks,

Phil

Don't know about this year, but for as long as I remember, BY 75s have whistled over my house every summer.

Its one 757-200. And its there all year round. The actual 757 is rotated up to twice a week - so you will see a whole different mixture of paint schemes!

I really do not like the new Britannia livery. The dark blue was a good brand.

I have booked my flights for the summer now flying STN-FUE with Britannia or whatever they call themselves now!! I look forward to travelling on a upgraded B752 with new interior!
