.....so it got me thinking, how many different a/c types have you flown in, not variants - Here's the one's I can remember -

ASK-21 (glider)

Mainair Blade (Microlight, never again

Grumman AA-5

Ce-150 (the first one ever built I think it was - G-ATZY)

Hawker Siddley Trident

British Aerospace ATP

Total = 25

Thats very impressive, compared to my, Britton norman Islander, Vangaurd, 757, 767, MD80(very scary) sitting next to the engines, the previous week an MD80's engine had blown into the feusalage killing 1 person, and hopefully an addition in a few weeks time going to alicante, while i'm on that subject, should i give GSM a miss and go for easyjet or Jet 2?

I'm nowhere near 25, but here goes..

Boeing 727

But I'm in the s**t, how could I forget the DH6 Twin Otter Air Taxi in the Maldives on my honeymoon

Jeez, I'm hopeless Can I add Emb 145 and CRJ to that list, that makes me 29

A dozen

I forgot I've been on a Bae 146 as well. That's 15.

The DC-8 was a nightmare DJ.

It was only my second flight.

First flight being GLA-Palma on a BA757. This was really exciting, I was about 12.

Return was on a DC-8, of something like Can Africa.

The flight was delayed 5 hours due to the cargo door not shutting properly. I remember looking out of the window on the way back just waiting on the door flying open and the plane dropping out of the sky. The AC was falling to bits inside as well and staff unable to speak English, it wasn't much fun.

I really like the 767, comfortable and spacious in Y.

Perhaps next year I'll try VS to MCO. Never having been on a 744 it really appeals.

g

My DC-8 flight was also the Canafrica DC8-61's
Thomsons Holidays hired them for the GLA-Spain flights around 1986.
Our take off to ALC was aborted whiltst powering down the runway. Headed back to the stand
and then witnessed a 'technician' battering lumps out of no.3 engine with a hammer to sort
the problem. An ex-JAL aircraft, safety cards and exit signs were all in Japanese.
The Spanish FA's couldn't speak english. They probably dug them out of
a local tapas bar for the summer.
Had to resort to old favourite 'Dos cerveza por favor' to get through the flight.
When taxying at ALC to head back to GLA, took off into a massive lightning
storm at 4am. We were sure we were gonna die.

I also chickened out of a cheap ride on an An-2.
After a tour around the maintenance facility, it wasn't for me.

Where are you off to next week nighthawk? I'm off to Stockholm, out via CPH again and returning direct with Sterling - my first flight with them.

An12 + Yak42, those 2 sound interesting Gav, mind take the camera

Off to Kiev, flying KLM EDI-AMS-Kiev at 6am on Wednesday *urgh*. Taking a daytrip to Dnepropetrovsk so we can fly some old russian heaps of junk.

When are you off?

Stockholm looks great, I was only there for 2 days and didnt really do the touristy thing, but it looks an amazing place. Nightlife is crap, you wont get into any of the clubs unless your a local (and i know you really want to!). Theres a nice english bar in Stockholm that does Real Ales and the old british favourites if you get home sick, looking at a map it could be down "Birger Jarlsgaten" somewhere. We ended up in the TGI Fridays next door to it for most of the night, as it was aboutt he only place welcoming to foreigners!

Most of the bars and clubs are down the bottom end of that road in any case.

Wednesday morning as well; if you press your nose up at the glass of the BD lounge emergency exit opposite gate 4 I'll wave at ya as I neck Bloody marys!

Thanks for the tips; I'm staying in a suburb called Kista. My hotel is on top of Sweden's largest shopping centre but I hope to get into town as it's a few years since I was there.

Have fun in Russia, sounds interesting!

No doubt a few will have been missed out so I'll have to go through my log of flights.

First flight ever was in the Dragon Rapide in 1974 on a pleasure flight from/to St Just. That plane is STILL flying today. G-AIYR.
First jet flight was a Trident from Glasgow to Heathrow in 75. From then till about 79 only a couple of flights then much more
frequent from then on. Many of the flights are freight flights, newspaper flights, positionals and generally "hitching a lift" flights.

Oh dear, how could I have forgotten to include the plane with the toblerone windows ??

Add SE210 Caravelle to the above list. Two flights, same plane. Finnair.

"Hitching a lift?" Most interesting must be the Jetstar, how did you manage that, or the Paris, or the...........

Knew I forgot something ... Piper J3 Cub

The Jetstar... I was taking some pics of this at GLA when the crew came past and joked "that'll cost you 10 dollars".
So when I was talking to them I asked where there were going. They said they were positioning to Edinburgh the
next morning and ... well... I was backshift so not starting work till 2. So I asked if I could fly through. No probs.

The Paris was Computaplane stock, being sold to the USA. Went up on a test flight to test the ferry tanks. A muck
around over Loch Lomond... including a wee loop).

The Mil24 was another hitch. Airshow at Prostejov, so because it is just a helo base and does not have a tarmac
runway they had a wee photo day along the road at Prerov. One of the things sitting was a Hind from Prostejov.
Hmmmm ... going to Prostejov..... so are we. So, me and my mate got a nice wee lift over.

Radar and Widmeister will be hard to beat, as will Bill's Concorde. My own list runs to about 50 types and includes several airliner types which are no longer flying. My biggest regret is not being able to afford to fly on Concorde until just too late - So far I have managed to visit the insides of 4 of the now grounded Concordes and have spent the equivalent of a Concorde fare on buying some Concorde bits which are currently stored in a box over at the museum and may eventually go on display.
This is my tally of types flown in:-

Some very nice classic types in your list Towser.

Comet, Britannia, Herald, Convairs...

I see Bristol 170, Twin Pioneer, L188 (Air Atlantique flights per chance ?)

The Carvair.... would this have been a BAF pleasure flight in the 70s ? A friend of mine used to go
on some of these pleasure flights. He did the Carvair. DC6 from LGW. Altair Caravelle and some more.
The hassle was getting from Scotland to wherever they were flying from down south. We are talking
mostly long surface slogs by train or bus at times as these were the days before the low cost airlines
proved how much we were being ripped off by the gluttons.
