Leeds Bradford Aviation Nostalgia Thread

[DH106]

I wonder if Braathens SAFE could have kept its name if it still existed and operated the MAX? Could. Have happened as a 737 operator

Nah - they'd have to change it to 'Braathens Nose Dive', which isn't as catchy.

I'm also sure Lauda Air did the Leeds-Innsbruck route one winter season with Boeing 737-700?

Yes with the 800 series, and a mixture of Lauda and Austrian schemes.

Flybe had some interesting aircraft on their 2006 schedules.

Boeing 737-300 G-STRA was leased from Astraeus and operated the afternoon Exeter service on 23 May.

BAe146-300 G-JEBG appeared on 26 May wearing Mansion full plane advertising.

They probably can't afford to buy one these days. A mansion that is!

It was only eight summers ago when a series of flights were operated to transport Italian students from and to Rome Fiumicino. Featured below in 2012 are Mistral Air Boeing 737-300 EI-DUS on 31 July, Alitalia Airbus 320 EI-DTA on 05 August, and Air One Airbus 320 EI-DSV on 19 August.

I wonder what happend to those Italian student flights. They occurred at other UK airports as well. I know that BRS had some in peak summer around the time of your pics for a year or two.

Ahh... those were the day's, seems like only yesterday! Seen most before in various places but some are new to me.I guess picture 18 was taken during the Harrogate International Carpet Fair week in September going on the number of aircraft parked on stands 1 and 2,usually a good week for visitors (Kosset Carpets Cessna 421 with the large picture of a kitten on the tail anyone?)And I wonder what happened to Sandra Shuttleworth?,I seem to recall she had a very nice voice on the radio

A nice pose from Stuart Owen in photo 2 when the hi vis requirement hadn't been dreamt up! Stuart eventually was promoted to Airport Authority Duty Officer, and Sandra left LBA ATC to advance her career outside aviation.

Love the caption with one photo claiming that Concorde was touching down on the runway, when in fact it is parked up on the apron with a ground handling vehicle in front of it! How many qualifications do journalists require these days? Any?

 

[BarnsleyHolidays]

It's time for a couple of Dak photos taken in 2005 to provide a slice of recent nostalgia.

ZA947 from the BBMF is resting between displays and parked on the Multiflight East Apron on 31 July.

G-AMRA had the pleasure of performing the last ever landing on Runway 27 on 03 October and is seen here taxiing past Stand 4 on Alpha Taxiway. The Runway 27 threshold became Stands 19 and 20.
