Sorry for asking a stupid question... When people mention drone, I automatically think of 2 things. 1. A cheap drone from Amazon that costs less than £100 2. A military drone, piloted by people sat in sheds in the middle of nowhere. Now ruling out this could of been a military drone, how does the ot...
Jump to postReturned from Atlanta on VS104 last Tuesday night. 126 pax on an A350-1041, with another VS A330 parked alongside on departure. Is that viable?

Jump to postMay I ask why we are concerned about the possibility of a pardon for Prince Andrew? What would that change, either way.

Jump to postI thought the reason being perhaps incorrectly, that the A339's are in the fleet because they didn't take up the A380 and Airbus wouldn't give the deposits back, So Virgin used them on the A339 instead?

Jump to postI remember as a kid taking a couple of Pam Am flights, a beautiful old 727 to massive leather seats upfront from I think it was Tampa or Orlando to Miami, then boarding a classic 747-100 from Miami to Heathrow.

There needs to be an explosive hatch or a cutting tool stored in the sub. About navigation, what about INS ? That should work underwater, no ?

Flying to to Tokyo, to pick up the Norwegian Jewel for a 12 night cruise around Japan and Taiwan.
Never been with NCL before, so expectations are pretty even.
Funny, AFAIK such protests weren't raised before the match... Really? Maybe because the average England fan, like myself, was blissfully unaware of what was happening on the streets of Paris? Just a wild guess on my part. It was classless, but to tar all England fans with that is simply disingenuou...
