Cardiff Airport Photo Thread

Do you know what it was doing at CWL? A brief scan of the Internet suggests it's mainly a sort of flying test bed.
 
It's a testing aircraft but i don't know what it is actually testing but i have noticed on Flightradar 24 that it's chosen the same route to Vienna and the same route back to Cardiff every day. So whether that is part of the testing idk.

Onboard Honeywell’s “Connected” Boeing 757-200

DALLAS - Honeywell began on May 30 the Honeywell’s Power of Connected World Tour with its Boeing 757-200 (N757HW) test aircraft, debuting the ability to conne

A very old Boeing 757. It was the fifth 757 to come off the Boeing production line - in 1983. Eastern Airlines of the USA bought it from new and it remained with them until 1991 when Eastern went out of business. Its next owner was MyTravel Airways (subsequently integrated into Thomas Cook Airlines in 2008) with this company purchasing the aircraft in 1995. It stayed with MyTravel until 2005 when Honeywell acquired it. It might have visited CWL on revenue-earning service in its MyTravel days.
 
I haven't used CWL for quite a while and can't remember if an air bridge was used when I was there last. How many are there and are they (or it if only one) used regularly. If so, is there any particular airline that always or mainly uses air bridges at the airport?

There are 3. I've seen Qatar, TUI and Vueling use the one on stand 7. Stand 10 tends to Airbus aircraft so mostly Vueling and used to be Thomas Cook while. From what I've seen the one on stand 9 seems to be rarely used especially by KLM who are the main user's of the stand.
The ones in 7 and 9 are the 'new' ones from Gatwick.

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.

Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
