I think Thomson ought to review the 767 fleet painting, in light of the open ended delay to the 787. Think the new livery would help revamp/modernise least the outside image for Thomson.

British Midlands last dc9 flights

When were the last BD dc9 flights? was there any special last flights or anything. The DC9 was such an asset to British Midland serving them so well over the years as the sole DC9 carrier in UK.

I know BD was the launch customer yet why did British Midland keep the ATP for such a short time? what routes did it fly and what, if any, were the criticisms of the aircraft?
