I'm guessing at Transun as the two companies appear to be somewhat intertwined.

Lousy article. I wasted ninety seconds reading it and I want them back!

Yes, they have a few based engineers.

BMA gave us two runway excursions with the Viscount within a year of assuming the Heathrow route from British Airways. In November 1978, BA themselves came within 8 feet of totalling a Fire Tender during a Viscount's takeoff roll off RW15. ATC had failed to ensure the FT had vacated the runway...

Maybe life was better then?

I'd like to think Belfast double daily by easyJet is doable, subject to aircraft availability.

I don't recognise the lady's voice on Tower this morning. I wonder if we have a newcomer ? If so, welcome!

I think the airport will be closed at 2 a.m. so they are likely to be landing elsewhere, no matter what!

I remember G-SIRS from years ago. I think it belonged to Alan Sugar, or one of his companies.

Leeds Bradford has for some years now been rather hit and miss regarding Christmas Day operations. I worked the day about five or six years ago and we had two return Monarch flights, two return KLM and a Thomson Tenerife turnround. We actually had more flights on Christmas Day than East...

Bristol - Frankfurt has also been canned.

Some new and interesting RT callsigns there.

I was at Cemetery Road that day. It was chilly!

Seems reasonable to shut up shop if no bugger is moving. Very wise and perhaps an unexpected night off for some. Bummer if you had a holiday booked.

The Denville was reporting airport closed and no ATC by at least 6pm today.

Welcome news. I hope the plans include replacing or removing the illuminated signs on the terminal front. It simply says Leeds Bra d at the moment.

A Hawk arrived a few minutes ago. Coloured black, parked at Multiflight. Probably RAF but i can't be sure.

Beautifully put.

I don't think either aerial is still there. The NDB was co-located with the OM decades ago and was subject to a lot of vandalism, to the point it was moved to the airfield itself. I think the OM was decommissioned at the same time.

I used to have a picture, printed off the Internet, of a Channel Viscount taxiing for departure with two BKS and one BMA Viscount parked in the background. The photo was taken from Plane Tree Hill circa 1969. I wish I still had it, or the IP address!
