wazir Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 An airport? Could be Jurby Does anyone know the rousing verse: :: RAF Jurbyhead :: RAF Jurbyhead :: Better off there than dead? I can't remember the rest of the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The bit that got me was 'long haul flights' Since when? I thought we were paying to make sure the end safety areas were up to date, not so we can land jumbo jets on the tarmac! BTW - is the saving in Euros of Pounds?

scarbunny Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The runway could already handle 737s and 757s so the long haul argument isn't really valid. 757s were terrifying to watch take off and land though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshimajin Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 757s were terrifying to watch take off and land though. Which airline flew them to here? When it says BeeGees International will be able to receive more long haul international flights, where from? USA? Singapore? Dubai, Liverpool?
