        When learning to fly back in the early 70's this was the aircraft I was learning in. [ATTACH]114559.IPB[/ATTACH]



        But the first plane I ever flew in was this Britain Norman Islander, from Hull Aero Clubs Paull airfield to RAF Leconfield for a charity event. [ATTACH]114562.IPB[/ATTACH]

          Saab 340 with bendy rotor blades.


          Failed attempt to get to Shetland, try again tomorrow. Too foggy to land

            Yes I always get cattle class. It's a long flight to India in cattle, done that a few times although Australia is worse unless you get the A380 which is nice.

              I flew to Osaka last month in business, very comfortable. I went to India three years ago in cattle, not very comfortable.

                We got lucky running late one time coming back. Return flight in business. Slept nearly 7 hours.


                That really is the way to fly through many time zones

                            I've done another couple of the ubiquitous A 320s, finally arriving back home. Next flight next month to Vancouver but no idea what BA operates on that route.


                            Cheers

                              Most likely a B747, they have their 787's on the Toronto route.
