I for one hope to be around the airport to watch the arrival and guess a lot of other enthusiasts will too, looking forward to it!

Re: Can you recall all the TYPES of aircraft you have flown More modern in comparison to others. From what I can think of… LBA (Unknown Airline) Shorts 360? Dublin Ryanair 737-200 (standard livery & Hertz) / 737-800 Dublin KLM Cityhopper Fokker 70 Amsterdam Multiflight Piper Warrior PA-28...

Yes the correct term is a "Displaced Threshold". According to NATS charts (at the time of posting this) on an ILS/DME RWY14 Approach the glidepath is 3.5* from 6.1DME whilst on an ILS/DME/NDB RWY32 Approach the glidepath is 3* from 5DME. As the glidepath for RWY14 is 0.5* steeper, the...

May I add its fantastic news we've had confirmation of the 777 from March 13th. Further to this I am so happy to be freelancing for a regional broadcaster around the time so hope the airport put a press conference on and positive coverage of the late afternoon arrival! Sadly I expect a small...

I concur

HOP! isn't necessarily a new airline as such, simply the 3 existing Air France subsidiaries Brit Air, Régional Compagnie Aérienne Européenne and Airlinair to be branded under 1 name. Never say never but as these 3 subsidiaries have only tapped into the UK market (Brit Air operating at...

If I'm not mistaken "birds eye view" of the airport has been available on Google Maps for a while.

I think it’s safe to say tonight’s Calendar News report covered the BA new story very well with multiple interviews, VT’s of the apron and inside the terminal touching upon recent investment in facilities. All in all positive news coverage!

Whilst I agree BA re-launching at LBA could have been covered more, in reality this is simply unachievable for Calendar News as the structure of and subsequent output of their broadcasting compared to BBC Look North (Yorkshire variant) differs greatly. You both fail to take into account...

Thanks for this Aviador. I was interested and knew someone would know.

Just looking at the webcam and wondering if anyone knew what the mobile crane behind the tower is up to? http://www.flickr.com/photos/65887417@N04/8157790614/lightbox/

Apologies it's just a 752.

It's probably just going to be a 738 and nothing to take too seriously so apologies if it is indeed incorrect but according to Flightstats.co.uk today's Thomson flight 3551 is to be operated by a 767.

Re: Nostalgia Thread I’ve just uploaded 5 photos taken in 2000’s featuring an Airtours 757-200, Multiflight’s old BBJ , white Bmi Embraer 145, ramp photo featuring a white Thomson 767-200, Skyservice A320-200 (operating on behalf of MyTravel), 3 Jet2 737-300s in old tails and an up close ramp...

Re: Nostalgia Thread I've got a couple of old LBIA photos too but can't upload them into the gallery. - A detailed photo in March 2003 disembarking from Ryanair 737-200 (EI-CKS). Which is interesting considering in 2008 the nosecone was taken home by an enthusiast -...

I realise what I will say may receive criticism (hence the reason I don’t post much as I don’t want to stir confrontation) and don’t get me wrong I appreciate it’s great that BA have returned and utilised a good number of spare slots originally at Manchester to LBIA when they could have gone...

Just spotted this video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnReQiR75ng by a company called "Axess2" who supplied & installed new lifts in departure lounge so thought I'd share it.

It’s probably bound to yesteryear & is rare due to tight slots but from experience up at the “graveyard” watching movements with my airband scanner when the weather’s being glorious in summer with next to no wind I’ve known of flights being given a choice from clearance as to which direction to...

Re: Movements Log & Heads Up Yep a LAMIX 2X/2W departure on UL603 Eastbound reaching FL350 before deciding to turn back. http://www.flightradar24.com/#!/2012-05-18/06:52/EXS343

Re: Movements Log & Heads Up According to FlightRadar24 G-GDFG operating LS343 to Venice is returning to LBA. The flight departed at 07:50 and turned around above Norwich.
