I really do hope those of you who are travelling via Heathrow will get through to Dumfries in good time for our get together,

I think both reasons are true, Hamish. I believe many of BA's long haul jets do have cat. 3C but the domestic flights (including BA Connect which they are selling off) are mainly operated with older Boeings or with Embraer jets which are not thus equipped. Ryanair and Easyjet operate very modern aircraft; Ryanair with the Boeing 737 800 series and Easyjet with the Airbus A319 and Boeing 737 700. The average age of their aircraft is barely two years. If things go wrong with Ryanair or Easyjet you are on your own and all you get is a refund - no coach transfer to another airport or night in a hotel like you would get with BA, but you are less likely to find yourself in such a position. Capacity constraints at Heathrow during the fog meant it was simplest to cancel the domestic flights programme which would in any event have suffered considerable disruption during the poor visibility as many of their older aircraft are incapable of operating safely in these conditions.

All I know is that you guys better get on the horn with the Kilted British Weather Gods and make sure they know that the morning of January 25th better be clear as a bell in London. No one in that city is going to want to look up and see me using my kilt as a parachute. :eek:

Maybe I can run Scotch Drink by the organising commitee once on the Friday - in addition to the fluid of the same term
