I'd love to join you guys at the soutside on the 1st, but I'll be on the Onur Air A300, flight number OHY380 departing at 11am (hopefully!). If you guys want to point your camera's in my direction, it would be much appreciatied! I'll try and got some of you lot from the inside if I get an 'A' seat! I hope the weather holds for you.

Happy snapping,

Darren

PS: If anyone wants to get us landing, we're expected back at 0945 on friday 15th sept, fingers crossed for some easterly's!

[exmanx]

Jid, I'll be with Lew and Kevin. It would be good to meet you at last!

Darren, we'll do our best. Onur Air - now, do they fly Dash 8's or ATR's? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

I just booked the Crowne Plaza for Saturday and Sunday, I'll need a ride if someone could be so kind (bribes accepted in return for favourable screening!!!)........I'm non-revving on the trains to Manchester and may be at the AVP on Saturday evening-it depends on the 'loads' so to speak.

Thanks Andy, much appreciated. It better not be a Dash 8 or an ATR, it'll take forever to do the 1900 miles to Dalaman on one of those! They use A300's, A320/1's and MD88's. This'll be my first ride in an A300, hope its a good one!

Thanks again,

Darren

Hi Matt, Lew is picking me up at the airport the morning I arrive. I'm also staying at the Crowne Plaza for Fri, SAt, and Sun nights and flying back Monday. Damn, I wish I knew sooner you'll be at MAN for the weekend, otherwise, we could've saved some money on the hotel. But, we'll grab a beer or two over the weekend.

Maybe we can pitch in and hire a car around the city.

See ya next week, Matt.

Will people be Southside in the morning Sunday?

I thought that was the plane then the AVP in the afternoon?

[stu2ii2]

Where on southside? Mound or Triangle?? What time?

[egll]

Slight change of plan in that I will now be arriving on Friday night and staying to Monday, that way I double my chances of getting some decent weather

You'd have to stay atleast a month to get some good weather Matt!

Where on southside? Mound or Triangle?? What time?

I'd prefer the Triangle but i'll go wherever everyone else is going.

[G-DALE]

The Triangle is your best bet.

Cheers,

Dale

Yh Red and White Triange is it from what I can remember a year and a half ago?

Well, it's more like the 'Red Wreck' now after some Chavs vandalised it about a year ago so it's in abit of a state. The main thing though is that it's still possible to rest the beers on it

Cheers,

Dale
