I regret not staying now for the concert after hearing so many good reviewsGreat afternoon at St. Andrews @Knighthead Park, obviously helped by some glorious sunshine and a vital three points.
Although not the original line-up I thought UB40 were very good. It was nice to see so many stay behind to watch them.
Long long way to go, undoubtedly seeing more twists and turns but there's never a dull moment with this bloomin club
Definitely Joys & Sorrows

Messages get moved, to try and keep discussions localised in one (most appropriate) thread. Otherwise, we end up with the same topic being discussed in several different airport forums, which makes a mess of trying to follow what's going on. Much better to have a single discussion in the most appropriate thread. This also helps the forum, by keeping the bandwidth (and therefore, costs) to a minimum.I have observed that sometimes messages get moved to different threads that are better fitting, but can then lose the context of the overall conversation they form a part of. This can sometimes make both the original thread and the one the message is moved to a bit harder to read and understand, especially when people are replying to particular messages, or messages remain addressing the point that has been moved.
Yes, if it's a mild thread drift, over a few posts, it will be allowed to continue and will usually revert to topic after those few post. However, when, a member 'hijacks' a thread by replying with something totally off topic (such as what's due in at 'their airport', in another airport's forum), then we need to look at where that post would be most appropriate.So, I raise the question, Is it better to let a thread drift slightly so that context remains intact and the forum is easier to read, or is it better to be strict in stopping threads becoming a collection of conversations only semi-related to the topic?
The big problem, is that many members won't look any further than 'their airport' forum and as such, will post topics that are general to an airline (involving several UK airports), only in 'their airport's' forum (rather than the airlines thread in the Worldwide Airline Forums).
Again I'd like to emphasise how much I everyone else appreciate your time and efforts in keeping this forum tidy and everything in the right place. I certainly don't envy you when people start throwing their toys out of the pram on the classic "The Airport I Like Is Better Than Yours" debateHaving been a Moderator for a couple of years now, I've learned an awful lot, with regard to the forum structure and how members approach it. As a Moderator, I read all of the posts, in all of the forums. I just wish that other members would at least venture outside of 'their airport's' forum and explore Forums4Airports more. They would find a wealth of knowledge and experience that would enhance their experience.
All of the Moderators (myself included), give our time for free. It can, at times be hard work (another story altogether), so please help us by understanding that we are trying to keep the forum as concise and easily navigable as possible, and avoiding repetitive posts on multiple threads. And, please choose the most appropriate thread for your message.
@Just love planes Infrastructure thread?Hi everyone and happy Friday.
I’m going to the moors tomorrow and I’m wanting to know if the Public Pathway is open by the mound .
Could someone find out for me please?
Didn’t know where to put the post.@Just love planes Infrastructure thread?
The "general" thread would be a good start.Didn’t know where to put the post.
The only reason they would possibly want to meet BHX representatives would be for sponsorship, but with the current negative press on BHX they wouldn't touch them with a barge pole, that's without BHX being tight penny pinchers so would want maximum exposure for minimum ££££ that wouldn't interest blues anyway.Have a question.Preferably towards whose known to the airport or knows someone from the airport.
Has Tom Wagner ,Tom Brady or Gary Cook ever met Nick Barton or Tom screen even if to negotiate a deal for flights to and from the uk
When TW first took over and they released a couple of pre-recorded videos from his NY office, I noticed he had a number of diecast aircraft models on his desk and window ledges. It made me think he was into aviation, and maybe has some contacts within United/Jetblue/American or Delta.Have a question.Preferably towards whose known to the airport or knows someone from the airport.
