@jm431 sorry.. i didn't film this with my camcorder so the quality wasn't good.. the camera added the clicking by itself.. there wasn't any of that noise in-flight. :)

@planeboy737 Awesome. :D I'm suprised that you didn't get a ticket as there we plenty of empty seats. Yes, the fare was reduced to £75 and that was how much i paid. Yeah, a 800metre takeoff with basically no weight on board - something to watch and experience!!! I have a video uploading at the moment of the takeoff, safety briefing so you can experience it tooo. We went up to Leeds and back, no touch and go or flyby at manchester. :( (health and safety reasons i was told)

@speedbird188.Yeh I got a nice pic of you coming in from Myrtle Avenue. I'm dissapointed that I didn't get a ticket cause a member of my family works in BA. I noticed the fare went down to £75. How much did you pay? And I noticed you took off halfway down the runway :L:L How was that for a takeoff! And btw where did you're flight go. I didn't manage to track it!
