Thomas Cook A330 due into BFS 0910 and departing to Bridgetown Barbados at 1040.

I have seen it many times and have pics but thought some of you might be interested.

Ahh Rubbish, I missed it. I believe it was in last Saturday though. My 'resources' had mentioned it was due in but I forgot about it. Never mind, this summer BFS will be packed with A330's  8)

I flew to Manchester yesterday for a spotting trip and saw the odd Thomas Cook A330's. Some great looking beasties! Also saw a Eurofighter do a flypast so that was cool.

Anyhow, I believe Onur Air will be operating into BFS this summer on the Monday evenings so hopefully there will be the odd A300 movement.

Unlikely there will be many A330`s visiting BFS during the summer-usual aircraft for transatliantic flights are B767`s.

My Travel/Thomas Cook and Thompson were the only examples last year as I recall,possibly an Onur Air one also but they normally use A300-600`s or something smaller.
