Heathrow & Toulouse/Blagnac – Monday 21st March 2022 (Mark Paulin)

Evening all,

The call of travel has once again reared its ugly head so in company with my long time travel partner Vince Ellner we have embarked on a two week excursion around Europe.

Having met at LHR and enjoyed the Lounge in Terminal 5 we boarded G-DBCD for the first leg of our trip to TLS. An on time departure had us arriving in TLS on schedule at 1610.

Noted at LHR before departure of interest to me were

ET-AYB A359 ETH*

HB-JDD A320N SWR*

Formalities at Toulouse were quick and other than having to show the NHS Covid vaccination Barcode nothing else was requested. With the now requisite stamp in the passport we collected our hire car ready for the next few days.

Noted on landing and during taxi and from Room 62 of the Campanile Blagnac have been the following: I will only list those airliners of interest during this trip rather than a full list of everything seen.
