“Years ago, when I was backpacking across western Europe. I was just outside Barcelona, hiking in the foothills of mount Tibidabo. I was at the end of this path, and I came to a clearing, and there was a lake, very secluded, and there were tall trees all around. It was dead silent. Gorgeous. And across the lake I saw, a beautiful woman, bathing herself. She was crying…”

British Airways people and planes over the last 90 years

0 British Airways people and planes over the last 90 yearsTake an exclusive look at the British Airways people and planes that have been at the forefront of aviation for the last 90 years.

This film is about the Airco de Havilland DH.9*, de Havilland 86* DC-3, VC-10, Boeing 747 and of course the iconic Concorde.

All of the planes shown have been instrumental in the pioneering activity of British Airways from its beginnings with Aircraft Transport and Travel in the 1920’s through to the modern airline of today.

View the new British Airways film exclusively on Facebook on 21 September 2011 at 11am (BST)

*The DH.9 and DH 86 are represented in this film by the DH.51 and DH89 respectively

Transcript:

Paul Jarvis:
One of the very first aircraft that our predecessor Aircraft Transport and Travel flew in 1919 when it operated the world’s very first commercial schedule air service, a De Havilland DH-9.

Roger ‘Dodge’ Bailey:
Flying these old aeroplanes is different to flying a modern aeroplane. It’s not necessarily that much more difficult but it is different and that’s what makes it interesting.
The way the engine is started is quite unusual now, it’s usually started by hand swing the propeller because the aeroplanes did not have starter motors. Taxiing the aeroplane, just getting it out of the runway, is a challenge because most of the airplanes don’t have breaks.
All these aeroplanes sit on a tale skid at the back with the nose in the air.
The view from the cockpit is very poor usually so you have to turn alternatively left and right to make sure where you’re going is clear.

Paul Jarvis:
The DH-89 Rapide and while Imperial didn’t fly 89s they flew De Havilland 86’s which is a very similar looking aircraft and its been repainted in Imperial Airways colours, from 1935. The aircraft we use prominently on our Far Eastern and African routes and also some European services.
The Dakota DC-3 was widely used by British European Airways one of our immediate predecessors in the late 1940s and into the1950s.

Helge Hemm:
It was built originally in 1942 and delivered to the army air-corps in 1953. It took part in the theatre of Europe in Normandy and after the war it was sold to the Finnish government.

Paul Jarvis:
The VC-10 was a particularly iconic aircraft, not least for its shape. With that high delta-wing tail, the four powerful Conway engines at the rear and the fuselage are highly respected and well-liked by passenger aircraft.
And Concorde, well what can I say about Concorde? I think everything has been said about Concorde.

Captain John Hutchinson:
I would describe it as a thoroughbred — as a finally tuned, immensely powerful, incredibly responsive thoroughbred.
Now I’ve flown well over 70 different aircraft types in my flying career which started in the Royal Air Force back in 1955 and there is nothing that I’ve flown that remotely compares with Concorde. It was just the most incredible privilege in my life that I was on that aeroplane for 15 years.

Paul Jarvis:
And the 747, well they’ve been with us since 1971 and are still with us now providing a very sterling service on those very long, dense routes as we call them.

Captain Charles Everett:
I think the future for British Airways is very bright indeed.
There’s a great sense of optimism and I think that’s been brought together with the order of two splendid new aircraft types, the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A380 which themselves as I say bring a huge spirit of optimism and allow the teams whether they work on the ramp, in the terminals, in engineering, flight and cabin crew, wherever they work, to provide our passengers with an excellent product into the years ahead.

Temperatures plummet as Europe’s big freeze spreads

0 Temperatures plummet as Europes big freeze spreadshttp://www.euronews.net/ Turkey’s biggest city Istanbul has failed to escape the arctic temperatures and blizzard conditions that are wreaking havoc across parts of Europe.

Flights have been cancelled and scores of cars were stuck in snow.

Europe had enjoyed a relatively mild winter until last weekend but a Siberian system swinging in from the east brought that to an abrupt halt.

Widespread snow in Italy has caused travel disruption and put paid to several top flight football matches. It is forecast to be the country’s coldest week in 27 years.

0 Extreme cold weather hits Europe Death toll rises above 200 BBC World News February 4, 2012Frigid temperatures have gripped Europe in the last week, with the mercury reaching as low as 35 degrees Celsius below zero. After what had been a relatively mild winter, the sudden cold caught many unprepared. Eastern Europe is hardest hit, with over 100 deaths in Ukraine, and with over 11,000 people in remote villages cut off by snow in Serbia. Most of the fatalities recorded have been homeless people found frozen to death outside, and emergency tents with hot meals have been set up to help them in several affected countries. Russia and Poland are mobilizing help for the homeless. Travel in Romania has been chaos as a blizzard hampered efforts to clear both rails and roads. Recorded temperatures in Italy were the lowest in 27 years.
