G-byda
Is MyTravel DC10 still in use with MyTravel and used as back up or is she just sitting patiently waiting to die like the Monarch DC10 did a few years ago.
I hope G-BYDA does live on as its the only trijet civil plane in the country, or i hope Scandic take it on like they were originaly going to.

Hi,
G-BYDA is now void of MyTravel titles and was initial a strictly LAST RESORT aircraft but I believe it will be finding a new life in Turkey now as it has been sold to MNG Cargo.
It would have been great though to see G-BYDA in the viewing park either whole or just the nose next to G-DMCA painted in full livery as the MON DC10 was.
Regards

No they dont as they are not in passenger use.
Im glad G-BYDA is still having its chance to fly, i wish they never scrapped half of the Monarch DC10 and kept it in full.
So has G-BYDA left for Turkey then? and arent the SCY300s with MNG airlines now in cargo use.

Considering they have just recently painted some of their 757s into the full livery, I would imagine they'll be staying for a wee while yet.
As for the 767s, I think one is going to Monarch. Dunno about the others

I think it's just the one 767 for MON, flying out of GLA and LGW on long haul flights.
The A300s are used mainly on the high density European routes such as TFS, PMI, AGP etc

So at a guess MYTs other 767s will be heading to Excel Airways or First Choice.
On the topic of the DC10 again, what was it like to fly on, ive never been on a DC10 before, been on a tristar though, im just wondering if they are quite noisy and make a large humming sound when starting up.
