These people seem to think passenger flights will be departing from Manston https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/holiday/airport/2023/01/31/109965/mallorca-flights-the-heart-kent-the-horizon.html They might by 2028; the OP was about the need for a 7th (8 if you count Southampton) London passenger a...

does the South East really need another airport such a distance from London and with no rail connection? this was actually the very first UK airport I landed at in 1981 as Gatwick was fog-bound, we stayed there about an hour I remember seeing the Hoverlloyd craft at the old Pegwell bay hoverport as ...

Yes Stelios did say in the magazine that he copied the idea from US low cost airlines. The first flight I took was Luton to Amsterdam (as they were the only carrier to offer 1 way flights) and I took a bicycle for free. It wasn't even a real airline I don't think they employed any actual sales staff...

easyProp? when I started flying eJ 25 years ago they made a big thing in their inflight mag about a common aircraft type (although back then it was all B737) a whole load of other stats about how they could afford to sell cheap seats, it compared a eJ and a BA 737 showing how many seats each had to ...

whilst looking for G-OSRB today following the talk about 2Excel I noticed 3 L-159s together over the N Sea ex Teesside?

Other examples of seaside shows include Dawlish, Weston-S-Mare, Sunderland, etc….

+ Herne Bay, Margate, Folkestone (OK it ran with a Dakota and the RAFAT in 2021)
Jersey a shadow of its normal self in 2022

with all the Reds problems and loss of The Blades free (mostly seaside) events are now becoming very threadbare whilst the pay to enter are mostly holding up well. The RAF seem to only be prepared to put on 3 / 4 displays now. If you mean the number of display teams, then see Tommy's point above. W...

Obviously I've never attended a coronation in the UK but what's the form? Did Willem - Alexander of the Netherlands get one? (can't think of any other recent ones)

interesting article here about how PVZ got to Washington

Do we need another plane that on paper is not as good as the A320?

Discuss

doesn't sound like a non EU registered plane flying from the UK to the EU would qualify The regulation applies to any passenger: departing from an airport located in the territory of a Member State to which the Treaty applies; The protection accorded to passengers departing from or to an airport loc...

not sure if anyone knew about this any flight from the EU arriving later than scheduled arrival is allowed compensation (they handed out information forms as we boarded at Corfu over 3 hours late) €250, in the case of a type 1 flight; €400, in the case of a type 2 flight; €600, in the case of a type...

easyJet (well actually SmartLynx) made a boo boo an arrival back at LGW on our flight home from Jersey last night. We waited over 1 1/2 hours to get off the plane, the crew citing lack of buses (which is apparently true due to DHL taking over, it was delayed on the way out for the same reason). Sudd...

It was a good display although quite stilted and not just due to the weather preventing many planes flying in, there just wasn't the unusual international participation that normally makes it worth the trip. As it turned out it stayed dry but windy all afternoon. in the end it was the Pitts, S260 Br...

The Revival organisation and event setup has changed a hell of a lot since 2004....! Its nothing like that now. OK I'll change my reply to the OP The airshow or flypast is arranged solely for the benefit of ticket holders to the event. There are several restrictions on the narrow access roads aroun...

wow that is lucky! Fantastic. I definitely need to do some research and get some times and dates lined up! I think once the racing stops anyone can walk without a ticket in so Saturday 1900 next to the runway. I was lucky enough to get a free ticket 3 years ago and there was a long and impressive d...

if anyone (like me) cannot get a flight refund / change there are some very good Occupation sites to visit. Not the commercialised Jersey War Tunnels but the concrete defences all around the coast. There were several opened by the CIOS although it's a small volunteer led thing and they may not be op...

I was just looking at my glossy 2019 Programme, the centre spread of which is a B-52 (which was cancelled)

I suppose for a Jersey resident it's the only chance to see the RAF participants even though they are routine on mainland UK

Job done! a brief and very impressive B52 flypast but it did loop back to the IoW and looked like it was going to do another pass. It was much better to camp 2 nights get the train down (and cycle 200km back, something I do) and enjoy the whole day than spend the same £ driving up to Fairford for a ...

Do you think the B-52 will actually turn up? I am planning on going by train which is about 3 and a half hours one way for me.

Bournemouth Air have confirmed it on their FB page

I think once the racing stops anyone can walk without a ticket in so Saturday 1900 next to the runway. I was lucky enough to get a free ticket 3 years ago and there was a long and impressive display by 2 Spitfires and a Mustang on Saturday evening

apparently only Saturday just before the Reds display at 1630

was going anyway, camping at the excellent Hurst View campsite along the coast

even without the BUFF it's a great show, the twilight displays are a real bonus especially Brendan O'Brian

dang! it was heading right my way before it turned mid Channel

There's always Jersey!

SPICY has gone off ADSB in a puff of smoke, there are a couple of KC135 and even an AWACS in the area
