Just looked on FR24 and noticed the Gatwiick to Edinburgh BA Shuttle 2942 is being flown by a Titan B757.Not noticed this before,but then again I've been looking for it. EricT
ps the reg is showing as G-POWH.

Titan specialises in short term work for airlines that need a quick replacement

For example, when a ground vehicle punched a hole in 737 G-DOCU a Titan 757 flew for BA for the duration of repair.

Often see them on the odd BA flight.

Aurigny is another user of their 146's when the need arises.

Thanks for that Garry.Somehow I thought you know. EricT

I love Titan, the original reg's were all G-ZAP* and now they are all G-POW* I love a sense of humour

[Garry Russell]

Someone on another forum suggested that they could adopt a naming system using the airlines name followed by an astral body/planet

They suggested Titan Jupiter, Titan Saturn, Titan Mars , Titan Uranus

I see the 146's now and then

Zap and Pow come from the early Batman series on TV

[Garry Russell]

Yes....indeed they do ...flahed up in stylised flahed as the hits were made. It was a great favourite of mine as a kid, sadly the G-BAM series had already gone.

Titan Uranus

Garry.. if you ever get access to a tele, Batman is on ITV4 daily.. 2 episodes (or was until very very recently)

De de, de de, de de, de de, de de, de de, de de, de de.. BAT MAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!! The fame of being Batman went to Adam West's head (only his too I think) and poor Robin never acted again. You can't shake that sort of thing off easily

Adam West is still around as Mayor Adam West in Quahog
