Leeds Bradford - General Thread

[lbaspotter]

Just been announced that AMP Capital has appointed Hywel Rees as the Leeds Bradford Airport's new chief executive.

Rees joins LBA from AMP Capital, where he has been a senior member of the asset management team for around five years, with a focus on airports.

Only posting the link, as the article is on a subscription basis.

I'd wager he is a Welshman, look you.

Perhaps he will act sheepish and leek stories to the press haha

Looks like Luton security staff are going on strike. No doubt security staff at other airports will be watching the developing situation.

The guy who runs the live LBA webcam Mr Andrew Easby has just added a 2nd feed on his YouTube Channel called the "Touchdown Cam"

Original Feed =

New Touchdown Feed =

Sadly I cannot get on either of them !
It just buffers so I assume he has many customers watching.

You don't need c-cleaner. Just go to your browser settings (Google Chrome etc) and clear your cookies and cache.

 

[lbaspotter]

Both camera feeds are definitely working at the moment on Youtube, because i'm watching both myself right now even though the isn't much to see due to the rain and low visibility

 

[Aviador]

They weren't working for me earlier but they are now and that's without deleting cookies or cache.

 

[a300boy]

Yes I have it now !

 

[a300boy]

thanks for the C Cleaner tip.

Beware that C Cleaner was subject to having a Trojan last year distributing malware - C Cleaner is not independent anymore being purchased by avast in 2017, subsequently it now actively monitors your systems and pushes silence updates.

Is CCleaner Safe? Not Quite. And We Show You How to Replace It

CCleaner was once a must-have utility. But this has changed. Here's why CCleaner is no longer safe to use and how to replace it.

Its a decision for you to make one way or another - the Trojan has been removed of course but the program isn't all sweetness and light like it used to be.

Thanks Jammam. I used CCleaner for a few years but don't now and I hadn't heard about the dubious nature of todays product until reading your linked article. For anyone still using CCleaner the article is a must read. The Trojan bit is a red herring though as Avast sorted that as soon as they were aware and, lets face it, almost anyone can get hacked these days.

LOL!!!

There seems to have been a spate of mishaps at Manchester airport over the last few weeks. I hope they are being more thoughtful with their social media responses this time.

Forgot to tell you all in my Consultative Meeting update, but it was confirmed that the TV series about LBA will be screened on 16th July initially and there are 6 programmes. There was no information given as to what the programme is called or how frequently the episodes are to be aired. I just hope it is a positive programme about the airport. I have no doubt though that it will prompt the usual histrionics about LBA being a tin pot airport on a foggy hill, as usual. Nothing stirs up the negative emotions more than an airport!!

Is this for regional output or will it be shown nationally?

I don't know Local Yokel, sorry. I don't even know which channel is screening it!

Many thanks anyway. No doubt you will update us as things become clearer.
