The AFF Scavenger Hunt

[Mal]

I took a photo of a foreign keyboard yesterday but it's so dark (and a black keyboard) that you couldn't tell what language was involved. Oh well. The search continues.

Re: The AFF Scavenger Hunt - Boarding Pass

Here's a boarding pass printed after OLCI on an otherwise blank sheet of A4 paper.

I take it you printed this at home, today.

Where's home, notmensa, so we have a location to attach to this find?

It should be either Sydney or Melbourne per the ticket.

 

[notmensa]

Home is SYD. I printed it out at work (in SYD) on Fri Feb 26.

We flew to MEL on Saturday morning for a weekend at Phillip Island (Superbikes!) and I flew on to CBR for the Impressionists exhibition. Thanks to VB's promotion, I got double points and status credits.

Hmmm, I am throwing in this one for No. 5. The hunt requires a piece of cardboard and it is fully printed. Without BA being cheap and only printing it would be totally blank.

Thanks sr81, but as long as notmensa's submission had a location and a time, it'll pass. The find stipulated "cardboard/paper"; both your submissions started with a blank piece of paper or cardboard, so both are fine, but notmensa comes in first.

I know that BA completely print their BPs now.

Tick!

That's another one for Mal. Well done.

The following are already 'found' but here's some additions.

Anyway, Sunday night I travelled on OJS, here's a photo taken from the arrivals concourse after I disembarked:



As for Salt and pepper:

& QF J:


Now I look at the list properly I could have a few of these this weekend (I saw them all):
#1: HKG-based ground crew holding a "Final Call" sign (you can just take a picture of the sign if you want, not the crew + sign)
#3: "Final Call" written in a language other than English
#4: Airport directional sign written in at least three languages (including English)
#5: Boarding pass which is completely printed (e.g. the BP without any print on it would be just a completely blank piece of cardboard/paper)
#10: A non-Australian nationalistic soft toy in a duty free shop (not necessarily in Australia)
#13: A helicopter at an airport
#14: Sushi found in an airport lounge
#20: An EXIT sign in a language other than English
#23: A foreign keyboard (i.e. not US layout)
#24: A water feature inside an airport (e.g. fountain) – a shower is not a water feature
#25: A flight shown with at least 4 flight numbers (viz. 1 operating metal flight number and at least 3 codeshare flight numbers)
#30: A self-check-in machine which is out of order
#31: Bottle of Chinese beer
#32: A sign at a gate indicating the location / presence of priority boarding which is not a sign from QF
#40: A food or drink item (e.g. bag of nuts, bottle of water, etc.) that specifically states or shows that the item was prepared specially for an airline

That’ll be my next computer, when I save up enough and it’s updated to the specs I want accordingly.

You are on a roll! That's two finds in the same day, by the same person. Well done!

I'll have to do another status update soon........

 

[markis10]

A tad OT but if you are looking for regos that form words, try:

VH-SIN A Navajho that was from memory owned by a church pastor at one stage
VH-TUB - A Volmer Amphibean VJ22 built by John Brown in the 70's at LTV
VH-TAD Former TAA A300, not an amateur built aircraft.


There is even a twin commanche that has the rego - VH- S E X

 

[notzac]

I believe a certain MD of a largeish ISP has an aircraft with registration VH-TCP ..

 

[anat0l]

Well the A320 that Flashware and I flew from EDI to LHR last year had the registration G-BUSH. No jokes.

Unfortunately, I do not have a photo of said aircraft with rego (too dark), plus it wouldn't qualify under the date rules anyway.
