Bahnhof Strasse
Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
Rossiya Airlines too. Though with zero OEM support from Boeing...
Ehrm, yeah, thanks, but I'll walk.

I can only imagine they got disoriented. You don't need to be a trained professional to conclude that if you work airside at an airport, you just don't enter an active runway under any circumstances unless cleared to do so.Blimey. Major props to the pilot (more likely the first officer though?) for managing to bring the plane to a stop in a reasonably safe environment
Seems lack massive lack of situational awareness from someone. Presumably the fire crew like the flight deck are plugged into air traffic control comms so should only go where they’re told to when they’re told to
I think you can just about see the truck starting to take evasive action a second or two before it’s hit, so I reckon he was well and in control. Clearly attending an emergency though, travelling at full speed and another fire engine following it. So if I had to speculate I’d say in an emergency call-out and got lost or was given the wrong instructions.Could even be something like medical episode by the driver of the fire truck?
Handley Page, please. I used to work with a guy who had been their chief stress engineer.Hadley Page Dart Herald apparently.which I think was a civilian version of a transport. I think Lancman may have flown them?
Presumably they cleared immigration at departure, so they could just get off the plane straight onto the train? Bloody civilisedCould have been on a rail thread.
The old Silver Arrow Service Paris to London. Express train Paris to the tarmac at La Touquet, flight to Lydd and then on to London…

I never had the pleasure of meeting the Herald, my only Handley Page aircraft was the Hastings. Turbo-props were the Bristol Britannia and the Shorts BelfastHandley Page Dart Herald apparently.which I think was a civilian version of a transport. I think Lancman may have flown them?

Dunno, cost probably. If only there were a travel agent specialising in air fares we could ask...Surely by then planes could comfortably fly Paris-London, so why all the faff with the trains?

I'm all for it, but don't understand how 3D technology however advanced can tell the chemical composition of liquids inside bottles?
Stuck the landing.
I saw this but it felt like no news at all, about 5/6 years ago I used to frequently fly to Malaysia with Qatar and they had cells aboard the plane that you could use after take off. I seem to remember that they wouldn't let you make calls but would alow text and data. I admit they weren't 5G but that's not a major change reallyMmm... it sounds as if the end of 'airplane mode' for mobile phones is nigh...
No more airplane mode? EU to allow calls on flights
EU airlines will be able to install equipment that lets them provide 5G on board planes by June 2023.www.bbc.co.uk
Not sure how to feel about this. I enjoy the fact that you know you will never have to experience (until now at least) being seated on an airplane next to some twat talking bollocks loudly on their phone, as it can happen on trains or buses.
Most airlines allow you to use some WiFi-enabled services, but not WiFi phone calls, for the sake of some peace and quiet. This however sounds as if people might be free to use their phones as they please, and in the same manner as if they were on land. Which would be a pain in the arse.I saw this but it felt like no news at all, about 5/6 years ago I used to frequently fly to Malaysia with Qatar and they had cells aboard the plane that you could use after take off.

I meant that Qatar were providing 3G (might have been 4G)on their plane rather than wifi but didn't alow voice calls on that network. I think its main advantage to them over WiFi was it could recharge you through roaming deals rather than sign up for most people. The article mentions pico cells so I don't see why this would be any different. While the technical work rounds for any blocks probably aren't thay difficult the prohibition notice and air crew seems to work well enough at the moment.Most airlines allow you to use some WiFi-enabled services, but not WiFi phone calls, for the sake of some peace and quiet.
