I think that was a discussion on another thread. To be honest, it never worked for me so you can't miss something you've never seen.

 

[Tarn Spotter]

I sent an email to Multiflight and contacted on social media asking about the webcam, but received no answer, hope it will return.

 

[Aviador]

I think I know the person responsible for maintaining the website. I'll make enquiries and get back to you in due course unless somebody else reports back first.

 

[Tarn Spotter]

Cheers Aviador, would appreciate an update

Cheers Aviador, would appreciate an update

I can confirm today that the Multiflight webcam will not be returning.

 

[Tarn Spotter]

Avaidor: Thanks for the update, thats sad news as far as I am concerned, used to view it most days. Can get up to the airport as musch in my old age, was a good substitute.

I am thinking of putting a camera on my roof with a view from the side of runway 14 threshold towards the centre of the airfield. It depends on the cost of the camera and installation plus what it would cost me to stream it to the internet. It may have a small cost to use it to cover my expenses so I will do the sums and let you all know the results.

If the web cam used an operating system that enabled easy viewing on such as android and iPad tablets, I would happily contribute towards the cost of installation and upkeep of the system.

 

[Aviador]

The costs involved will be fairly substantial. So far as people saying they will contribute to the running costs, I would recommend asking people to put their money where their mouth is as they will likely scarper at the point they're asked for a contribution.

All said there could still be a way of getting a new webcam if people were to approach private firms who have property overlooking the airport they might be prepared to install a system that draws users to their website. Hawthorn Farm perhaps or maybe AETC? The views from the top of AETC PCC Airfoils are spectacular!

With the power of social media and the internet I feel sure you could drum up a lot of interest.
I am surprised Multiflight did not look to set up a subscription service before they withdrew the service, I pay £30 per annum for the manchester airport camera, Multiflight or similar has to be worth £50 per annum or more.
I would have thought it fairly easy to get 100 subscribers, to me would be worth £100, as getting to the airport even though a 5 minute drive not easy for me. I cant be the only person who would like to see the airport from the confines of their home.

 

[JakeS]

A paid iOS or Android LBA webcam app?

 

[a300boy]

Just back from holiday so I will speak to my expert and post when I have some information. Someone on the Manchester forum has just set up a camera I believe.

Who didn't see this one coming. Good news for Multiflight hopefully will mean we might see some interesting football charter flights operating into its Leeds/Bradford Airport based facility.

PS: Is that a model of the ex Boeing 737-800 Business Jet, G-OBBJ?

Very disappointing to find out this afternoon that parking charges at the South Side have been doubled from £1 an hour to £2 an hour. This dominated our discussion and we have a plan in place to fight back - quite legally and legitimately

 

[Aviador]

Its probably worth mentioning the parking charges for Southside are the responsibility of Multiflight and not the airport company.

 

[Finger66]

We are aware of that. It was more about the principle and making others aware that may not know yet.

 

[Aviador]

It's a long time since I used it. I thought you were refunded when you spent in the cafe, is that no longer the case?

 

[Finger66]

Unfortunately not. I know its January but it was eerily quiet. Hope the 100% charge increase doesnt put people off from using the cafe. Rail passengers have clearly got off lightly with their fare rise!

 

[PETER J HALL]

I note the comments regarding the increased parking fees at Multiflight. Although not a car user I feel the increase is far too much and will hit a number of my friends who do. The charge for three hours is now up from £3.00 to £6.00 some high percentage increase. To the Multiflight owner Mr Hood it may be chicken feed but to the lower paid/retired it's hard to justify paying the new amounts. I always thought it was the Sheriff of Nottingham who robbed the poor not Robin Hood
