visit to London (Heathrow)

[Jon.M]

I didn't know Airone were flying to London. Maybe it's due to them being part of the same group as Alitalia now.

I know an Airone pilot although this won't be him as he flies 737s. I do know that he now flies both Airone and Alitalia flights.

Not a particularly good photo of that A320 of AirOne (still figuring out optimal exposure and focussing).

During my stay in London, I saw two A320s being used by AirOne (EI-DSY, EI-DSZ). And yes they were on Alitalia flights.

And at least EI-DTC, EI-DST, EI-DTF were also on Alitalia flights.

Thanks for the info Ian,

I'll ask Alberto about it the next time I see him, which probably won't be till September.

Trivial fact: "airone" is Italian for heron which is their call sign and accounts for the tail logo.

A little find I thought I'd share

Brilliant video. Thanks for posting the link.

I'd have thought it deserved a thread of it's own.

The Station Flight was formed in August 1991 and currently operates with 8 pilots, 1 navigators and 11 engineers.

Great english on the RAF website....'1 navigators' perhaps they meant 1 WSO's :roll:

I think Hampshire Police also operate an Islander, or they did before I moved out here in 2006.
