Over here it's a grey, gloomy, cold-humid weekend, and went for a walk over past London City. A sad sight. BA have pretty much given up here on most days. There are just seven departures today, and in fact a Luxair DH8-400 actually departed whilst over there. Wonder how many (or few) passengers they had. Nothing else active.10 BA Embraers parked there, most seem not to have moved for months now, the rest of their fleet is elsewhere. Most of the airport employees, and indeed at BA here as well, have been let go. The new office park constructed opposite the airport, completed in recent months, seems not to have a single occupier. Better times will come along, but for now it's a cold, deserted world.
