replies: text: The menu does state which class of passengers is eligible for free food (and what is free) and which group has to pay for it. In particular it shows the service standards at the end of the airline's life - It also stated that cash was accepted - UK Sterling and Euros were accepted on board- The smallest coin accepted was .50 and change was given in UK sterling WhisperToMe (talk) 10:41, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Buy on board menu

message: Should we list the airline as in airport articles as BMI or British Midland International? I know someone listed the flights at the London Heathrow Airport page as British Airways operated by BMI but British Airways acquired full ownership of the airline but does BMI still operate as a seperate airline? Snoozlepet (talk) 22:15, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I can tell from the press releases British Midland International are operating as a stand-alone operation for the rest of the summer season, so British Airways operated by BMI is not right. MilborneOne (talk) 11:36, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: According to , "Over the next few days, all bmi flights in and out of London Heathrow will become available to book on ba.com. bmi will still be the operating airline." For now at least we should leave the listings as they are, but it may be worth changing soon. Cloudbound (talk) 17:14, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

While it is nobodys fault, infomation is rapidly changing as the transition from Lufthansa to IAG takes place. I added the tags to remind editors to keep on top of this.

message: Hi. I note in the text that a DC-3 was purchased in 1955 (I think - as I cannot now see the main text!). I mention this aircraft as it does not seem to be mentioned in the historical fleet list. I flew from Burnaston to Jersey and back in about 1958 in (what the captain called) a DC-3 - but I do not know if this was the aircraft bought in '55. Would it be possible to check the acutual type identities of this part of the fleet (C-47 or DC-3) to make sure we have the types correct? I appreciate this is a nause and minutiae but we might as well get it right if it is slightly out. I also can confirm that customs clearance was at the then Elmdon. Thanks.

message: This piece of BMI's history seems to have slipped under the radar. From the Invicta International Airlines page.
"It was announced on 3 January 1969 that Invicta was to merge with British Midland, effective 18 March. British Midland was to operate passenger flights using a fleet of 12 Viscounts. Invicta was to operate a cargo service under the name "British Midland - Invicta Cargo" using a fleet of three DC-4s. By April, (Hugh) Kennard had decided that the merger was not working, and in June he formed Invicta Airways (1969) Ltd. The aircraft were the three DC-4s, G-ASPM, G-ASPN and G-ASEN. The Viscounts having gone to British Midland as part of the merger."
It goes to explain two of the alleged six Viscount 700 series aircraft included in the BMI historical fleet details. British Midland really liked Viscounts, but they didn't like these two passed on from Invicta. G-AOCB was painted up and used for just 12 mths before scrapping, G-AOCC was simply parked up wfu. I have no ideas about the other four 700-series Viscounts BM allegedly operated.
