bases.  Now we know that Lynham and Coltishall are to close, but what
about the remaining as yet unnamed bases?
Taking a wild guess I would like to offer the following:

hi 3 of us are flying Manchester to Florence via Frankfurt.  For the
Frankfurt to Florence leg are the best views of the Alps from the port or
