G-TOYD waiting to line up as the sun rises.

Very sad to see baby go. I've flown with them several times and never had a bad experience. Good luck to all the staff, hopefully the likes of Monarch and Jet2 have taken some on.

It was very sad listening to the last ever flights yesterday.

I remember when Leeds based Capital Airlines went under back in the 90's and I watched the last scheduled aircraft land. During the weeks following, all the aircraft were parked up in a remote part of the airfield near to where one of the main spotting locations used to be. It was very eerie especially when the airline represented such a large proportion of the total flights Leeds had back then.

At least in this case, Bmibaby made up a relatively small proportion of the overall flights at Birmingham. It's very sad but life goes on as they say.
