Re: 50th anniversary 1974/2024

Great post Atuk, and Happy Memories.
I agree with you on Aircraft names. My first was also on a BCal 1-11, Gla-Lgw, Royal Burgh of Nairn, and back on Royal Burgh of Dumfermline. That was back in 1976!

Re: Your flights 2024

Apparently all lavs on that flight on Saturday just gone were U/S according to a FB post

All the lavs were working fine, we made it to LCA without a Plumbing stop 😊

Re: Bye Bye FI 753

The B. 757 was always a favourite of mine too. It is an elegant machine with its high undercarriage. It also does not have that old-look nose of the B707; B727; B737 types, so it's a bit more stylish. I have flown the B757 regularly, but never with Icelandair. I had only had one flight on the stretc...

Country Codes

The stopover flight was cheaper than the direct Easyjet flight, ( but not when you include my overnight hotel, but I got to go shopping for some Salami ! ), and it also got me back at a sensible time as opposed to the EZ landing at 03:00am.

Re: Is my eyesight failing me?

Thanks for that info, Sanderling.
Anything over 5,000ft is astronomy for me now. I think I will need to keep my future plane-spotting ventures to what's at ground level.

A big quad jet, very low I thought because I could see 4 distinct contrails. Wait a minute, am I looking at 4 jets flying along side each other.? Would that be milita...
