I have got to admit that the latest TUI advert on TV brings a smile to my face. They try to give the impression that they are innovating with offering flights every day of the week and holiday duration from a few days to weeks. Jet2 (and now easyJet) have been doing this for over 10 years and...
It has been reported that Textron are closing their "Line servicing" at their UK bases - Biggin Hill and DSA. Whether that is a full closure of services I do not know.
With it being a bit quiet lately, I thought I would share some photos from nearly 40 years ago.

This year there is only (at the moment) one flight scheduled to Friedricschaffen on July 31st. No mention of airline, I know VLM have opened a base there.
I have just uploaded a few photos taken on my trip to ABZ last Wednesday. Plenty of activity,(mainly helicopters), with Eastern dominating the airliners.
