    Leeds Bradford - General Thread

    Just Stop Oil donor Dale Vince to launch "electric" airline... using non-electric planes (as it mentions only at the very bottom of the press release): https://www.ecotricity.co.uk/our-news/2023/ecojet-dale-vince-launches-an-aviation-revolution

    Aircraft Flying Overhead [OTT]

    Just heard (and then seen) an interesting visitor, flying low after departure from LBA - bright yellow Britten-Norman BN2B-26 Islander G-HEBS of Hebridean Air Services. Currently flying over Knaresborough after doing a couple of loops over the Wetherby area.

    Leeds Bradford - General Thread

    Thought that forum members might be interested to read that the MP for Leeds North West and well-known LBA basher has been on a nice jolly all the way to Canada to talk to some British people about climate change. I wonder how he got there...?

    Aircraft Flying Overhead [OTT]

    Little bit further away from LBA, but at least one very loud aircraft has just gone over the Wetherby area - thunderous noise overhead for about a minute, can still hear it faintly now. Nothing on FR24 or ADSB Exchange. Don't suppose anyone has any idea what it might have been? Can only assume...

    Airport Security, Immigration & Border Control

    Any reports on what the situation was like today getting through security? Was Friday morning a bit of a one off, or can we expect queues out of the door at 5am to be a regular sight from now on?

    Jet2.com

    Did this have any knock on impact on Jet2’s Friday morning flight to PMI? According to FR24 it was delayed by almost 11 hours - just made me wonder if aircraft/crew being out of place had led to that big delay?

    Random Stuff!

    I've just been watching the news about HS2 and I could hardly believe what I was hearing from some of the environmentalists they spoke to. We're forever being told that flying is bad and we should ban domestic flights and invest in 'greener' modes of transport such as high speed rail, but then...

    Road, Rail & Access Issues

    Even just reading that is making my blood boil...! Who the hell does he think he is? Shocking that these nutters think they've got the right to go around doing that!

    Random Stuff!

    From this quote in the press release it did sound like they were hoping to bring trains directly to the airport... "The creation of an East Coast Mainline Station, with just 4.5 miles of track would provide direct public transport access to and from towns and cities across the entire East of...
