So is the flight to Orlando 5th April departing LBA?.

Has this anything to do with Bradford based Morrisons sponsoring the tv series?.

 

[48vanman]

I'll answer my own question,after a bit of searching.

Flight leaves 5th April 20:15 to Sanford,I think they said it would be shown during the live tv show.Arrival into Sanford 02:40.

Returns 11th April depart Sanford 14:20,with arrival back into Leeds 05:35 next day.

Will this be the first flight to Florida from Lba,or has one operated before I can't remember?.

 

[yorkie40]

Yeah there been flights before late 90s, sombody I know been on it, did a fuel stop in bangor maine

 

[Aviador]

Operated by Britannia Airways Boeing 767-300 fortnightly (which was brand new at the time) on behalf of Sunset.

 

[48vanman]

Thanks for that Aviador,I have absolutely no memory of those flights operating.

 

[yorkie40]

Sunset holidays that's the one

 

[White Heather]

From memory the flights were pulled half way through that summer, so not very many actually operated.

 

[Aviador]

I think you're right Heather, there might have been a couple of flights later on but it wasn't surprising given the flights didn't become available until the Christmas before which is late for IT flights.

 

[ls27]

Didn't the flights transfer to MAN?

 

[Aviador]

Not sure exactly but it definitely didn't operate the full planned programme.

 

[jason1-11]

Try 1996 as I was flying to Hong Kong via Amsterdam and the 767 positioned in to operate the service.

Something Military just did a low approach and go around. [ 1230 25/02/2014 ]
Dont know what it was as I was in the front of the house.

 

[The Pole]

I saw it blast passed the office window up at the airport! No good with military jets, think it was a Tornado. It shot off to the North
