Think this idea............even here in this country.............of selling a new product at midnight is going a bit over the top init?

Even when new number plates are brought out every six months you get all these 'I must be the first to be seen on the road with my brand new number plate' brigade out. It's about time people got a life. If they don't have what you want when you want then quite simply.......... wait!!!

No Kidding

When I visited Heathrow in the early nineties BA were getting 737-300 and 747-400 delivered

Local spotters were tuning out in the middle of the night 3-4 am to see the expected arrival of the latest BA aircraft on delivery

Of course it's going to be under their noses every day for the next 20 years but I suppose they want to say they saw it first.......big deal

These are the same that moan because they don't get anything "new" so pop down and start logging coaches or buses. :k:

I remember two in dispute over how many new buses BA had ordered for that year. :argue: ..got quite heated.

I thought at first BA must have ordered some A.320s.........this was the days they pretended they didn't like the Airbus and sort of hid the fact that had a small fleet. :think:

But no they were talking about BA buses :k: ....literally...and the anger involved was just something I could not understand. :huf:

:dunno:
