It may not be the most exotic scheme ever, but it’s a 757 with winglets… You could paint it bright glowing pink with green dots and it would still look good!
Nice work, Kevin. Thanks for sharing!

That first shot is absolutley superb! Well done.:D
Has BA managed to resolve the dispute between OpenSkies and BA mainstream pilots at all, have not heard much about that for a while?

Lovely Shots!
Does anyone know what callsign they are using?
Nick
I’m presuming ‘Openskies’, the only information I do know is the IATA – EC

Just two at the moment, I guess what happens next depends on the airline and current trading conditions… Manston, I belive that all of the 200er series will be going over to Openskies
That will be all of the G-BPE* reged 757s
Thank you for the info chaps I just looked on jethros http://www.jethros.dwsitech.com/fleets/fleet_listings/openskies.htm it says 6 757 are going from the mainline.

Cheers for the comments Guys,
I have to admit i was more than disappointed in the colour scheme, the drawing on the website had a pale Blue lettering and underside, but looks like the found some left over Grey instead,
Kevin
It always looked like it was going to be grey to me Kev, even judging by the concept drawings on the website. I guess pale blue would look too much like Flybe…?

For anyone looking to see it,
Just had a call , about it, seems that its gone Tech at Manchester, so might not be going anywhere for atleast 24hrs
