AirUK Reunion

For the aircrew and ground staff of the wonderful airline AirUK

For several years the aircrew and ground staff of the wonderful airline Air UK have been meeting up to catch up and enjoy a pleasant day viewing the aircraft, drinking coffee, enjoying lunch, drinking more coffee, viewing the aircraft, drinking some more coffee and generally enjoying a wonderful day out together.

History

See the history page for an outline of the airlines history and what happened to what was, at one time, one of the better airlines in the UK to be employed by.

Imperial War Museum, Duxford

September is often the perfect month for our reunion. By then, the busy Duxford visiting season has wound down, schools are back in session, and the weather is usually still quite nice. This means we can enjoy the cafes without waiting in long lines, and the hangars are much calmer without large crowds. Once we’ve chosen a date, we’ll send out details to everyone whose email we have, so you’ll know all the plans for the day.

Reunions, Over the Years

Each year that goes by the numbers of people turning up at our reunion is testament to the working relationships we all enjoyed, who actually arrives of course depends on what they are doing now and the creativity (or lack of) within their rostering department!

If you are interested in coming along to our next reunion then please keep an eye on this web site when the venue, dates and time of our next meeting will be announced around March each year on our next reunion page.

Finally, a big thank you to all those who assist by taking on the role of photographers on behalf of everyone.

G-BHMY – Fokker 27

Thanks to John Farmborough for these pictures, taken at the Norwich Aircraft Museum – ‘MY’ – left just as if ready for her next flight (in 1998). All seat pockets had duty free catalogue, flight safety card, sick bag and 1997/8 timetable. All checklists etc were still on flight deck.
