It reminded me that I was on holiday with that grouping when the “crash” occurred. Originally we had booked to go on holiday to Cambrils in Spain flying from Newcastle, but Clarksons Holidays cancelled that and we opted, at short notice, for Tossa de Mar from Luton as a replacement. It was obvious that Clarksons were in financial difficulty and we found out just how much as our holiday progressed. The date was Tuesday 6 August, 1974 and our flight from Luton to Barcelona was to be on a Court Line Lockheed L.1011-385-1 Tri-star 1 Flight Number OU1029 departing at 1500hrs. We were requested to check-in one hour and fifteen minutes before departure. So a leisurely drive south on the M.1 ensured we were there in good time. We parked the car at the Airport for a charge was 30 pence per day. Court Line had acquired the two Tri-stars the year before and I was looking forward to flying on one. Unfortunately for some inexplicable reason I did not make a note of which one. At the time they operated G-BAAA and G-BAAB. “A” was called “Halcyon Days” and was resplendent in a yellow/gold/orange colour scheme and “B” was called “Halcyon Breeze” and sported a pink/rose/magenta scheme. Court Line painted all their airliners, including the BAC1-11 fleet, in these overall pastel colour schemes and they all had “Halcyon” names. They were very eye-catching at the time and were definitely “edgy”. 4 G-BAAA Tristar Court Line Graham Dives airliners.net As I recall the seating on the Tri-star was twin aisle with mainly 3-4-3 across the cabin. Some seats were two abreast squeezed into corners of the cabin. There were 400 or so of us in total. The aircraft doors were wide and access was easy at three points in the cabin. I have much of the Court Line/Clarksons paper work from the flight and the holiday. The bar tariff makes interesting reading with some of the prices as follows: a packet of 20 Senior Service cigarettes £0.19, a miniature of whisky £0.20 and Chanel No.5 perfume £3.70 for 1/5 oz. After an uneventful and smooth flight we arrived in Barcelona in the early evening. After landing and clearing customs we started to realise the extent of Clarksons' problems. They had obviously hugely overbooked during the earlier consolidation and the Clarksons' reps were in earnest conversation with many holiday makers, explaining that they were not going where they thought. We were lucky and arrived at our booked hotel in Tossa, the Hotel Terra Nova, at around 10 p.m. in darkness. I recall having to carry my suitcase the last 50 yards because the road to the Hotel was too narrow for the coach. Our holiday was proceeding pleasantly, but as each new group arrived over the coming days there were crestfallen faces and angry exchanges. One couple ended up “camping” in Reception for thirty- six hours or so. Clarksons were struggling. Our courier was a young Spaniard called Manolo and he was doing a sterling job keeping the “ship” afloat.

  • Opening Statement, Lynne Embleton, CEO, Aer Lingus
    Supplemental Aer Lingus Opening Statement to Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications Committee – 22nd June 2021 Introduction Thank you for the opportunity to engage - once again - with the Transport and Communications committee. I will assume you have read the Aer Lingus opening statement which was originally due to be delivered on 2nd June. On this basis I won’t read that statement but everything in it still stands. I would however like to briefly supplement it to highlight some specific issues that need to be addressed urgently. Stobart Stobart Air informed Aer Lingus on 11th June that they were ceasing to trade with immediate effect resulting in the cancellation of all Aer Lingus Regional flights operated by Stobart Air. Stobart attributed this decision to the continuing impact of the pandemic which has resulted in almost no flying since March 2020. Aer Lingus stepped in immediately to operate six routes until at least the end of August and arranged for BA City Flyer to operate four of the routes. The provision of this replacement schedule has ensured that all impacted customers due to travel in the immediate term were offered alternative travel arrangements. Aer Lingus also confirmed that we are ready to operate the Dublin / Kerry route, subject to an appropriate PSO arrangement being put in place and that we are actively exploring options that would enable the provision of a Dublin / Donegal service. Aer Lingus and other key stakeholders in the aviation sector have consistently warned that Ireland’s 15-month long implementation of the most restrictive travel policies in Europe without sector specific supports being provided, represented a critical risk to aviation jobs and to connectivity.
