I notice the eyebrow windows have been filled in for some reason

Standard practice now on new 737’s and ‘filled in’ on nearly new examples. This came about after it was realised they were no longer needed, thanks to modern navigational systems and also that many flight crew were blocking them with bits of paper etc, to keep the sun out.

Is that aeroplane cream or white?

SAS uses a kind of cream/beige paint for it’s base livery.

Tut tut. That guy should be watching the road instead of taking pictures.

I only saw one cloud in three days… thought I was in the wrong place, even got sunburnt!

He’s either got: –
(a) A genuine sense of humour.
(b) A thing for spotters.
(c) A worry that amongst you there are potential rocket launchers and he’s taken that piccy to the MI5/6 whatever.
(d) He’s got a campaign against the “Public” being so close to the aircraft in this post 9-11 world.

How much can you crop and zoom? It’s a winner of a picture IMO.

Oh, and set your white balance to Manchester…..I mean Cloudy 🙂
