Visions of a rosy future
Think I agree with Phil this time - but JW if you look back the early in this thread, #25 to be correct, why did it that those 
all this time to get this far.....
But on the other hand having 2 runways at LCY begs the logic of - one for arrivals and 1 for departures - so with a little work and filling in the space to be able to roll from one to the other - a 100% capacity increase or even more - could soon be at hand (watch out LHR !)

Who are you? Do you sit at the end of the 28 RESA with a note book?
How do we know it was heavy? Was the runway closed etc???

Ooooh - check you out with your "Runway End Safety Area"!!!
Nah - never get down to the docks mate. I work 27 miles due west and we heard it where we are!!!
Are you saying it did depart, and didn't have engineers refuse to sign it off as safe?
Do tell you little guru.........

@jw411: Wasn't LCY initially 7 or 7.5 degrees when it was limited to Dash 7s and a bit shorter than today?
BTW, my company has just announced that we'll fly into LCY effective winter schedule.

Good luck and fun flying the F70 into LCY...
All well when the wx is merciful, but interesting times ahead for when the going gets rough
The F70 sure is no Avro that can just be plonked on the tarmac when needs be (talking about not so seldom 25 gusts 35 night/wet landings). The only real plus are those reversers
PS for Dani
You will enjoy the F100 for sure
live 2 fly 2 live

I wouldn't know if the engineers wouldn't sign etc I don't work at the airport. I wondered if you knew.
And for confirmation the SWR is still there. Check the FMP reasons for today's flow rate (Aircraft blocking a stand.......)

Maybe SWR should land at Southend and complete the last part by boat......
Seriously, it has not been great weather for LCY recently - like today the wind is now 350 degrees and 12G19.
I landed last yeur with VLM and it was similar..... yikes!

What is it with these Swiss recently? Are they more prone than the others? A few years ago I was told by a friend of a friend that the Swiss RJs were higher on their oleos to such an extent that the airstairs at LCY sometimes weren't high enough. Have they lowered their oleos lately?

Could the Red Bull temporary strip be lengthened sufficiently to allow the aircraft to be flown out. What length did Red Bull lay down?
It is a bit surprising that there is vacant land in that expensive area of London for a temporary airstrip anyway!

Placing the aircraft outside the airport and given the nature of the locals, it will either get "twoc'ed" by a yoof or nicked for scrap by a gypo. Either way, a smart move by the owners and the airport.

It will be a good trick if they can fly it off the Red Bull Runway !
Will need a rocket assisted take off - its a tiny strip.. you can spot it from this picture. .
