Jack Morath shares this information and photo –
'LHR Baggage Breakfast' meetings started off with Baggage Agents only and met every week. Later, a few other colleagues joined in and we now meet every Tuesday morning. Not everybody makes it every week, but a great bunch of lads attended our May 14th weekly get-together where the photo below was taken. Also included are a few other Air Canada colleagues including Peter Hodge and Mike Berry.
Pictured below are:
Standing from the left: Mark Potter, Tony Keeler, George Cover and Jack Morath.
Seated from left front are: Chris Coven, Mike Berry, Peter Hodge, Chas Maxwell-Ellis, Mick Corley, Roy England, Mike Hawkins, and Steve Hodder.
Missing from picture is Owen David.

Pierre Gillard of the Quebec Aerospace Museum shares these photos -
Here is a photo taken in recent days of Chrono Aviation's Boeing 737-219C, C-GTVO, on approach at Saint-Hubert. . As the B-737-200's become rare, they should gradually disappear to make way for a new B-737-800 which Chrono Aviation will use to serve Iqaluit four times a week starting in August 2024.

During my visit to the Coulson Aviation site near Port Alberni, British Columbia, we observed the Boeing 737-7L9, N7841A, still wearing Southwest Airlines livery.
This is, for the moment, stored outside without its engines. Shortly, it will be converted into a water bomber and will thus become the largest aircraft in Coulson's fleet.
