Guards to deflect stones thrown up by the wheels

thanks for that

Symon

what are the things on the front wheels of the IB MD80?

Guards to deflect stones thrown up by the wheels (at least I think that’s what they are). I’ve never seen an MD-80 without them fitted.

Woa! I havent been to LHR for some time (maybe cos I dont spot anymore)
no change there then! apart from TAM A330. good shots mate.

it’s brother G-BUSD went to Lasham the other day ready to be cut up! 🙁

You’re joking?! I flew Sierra Delta in May last year MAN-LHR… Poor old plane!

Great shots Danny… Yet more photos on this forum from one of my cameras that were not taken by me. 🙂

Paul

Great shots Danny – lovely selection you’ve shown us as well 🙂
I believe the BA A320-100s were ordered by BCAL and BA inherited the order when they took over BCAL
😀

Nice shot of G-BUSE possibly one of the last on this forum, it’s brother G-BUSD went to Lasham the other day ready to be cut up! 🙁

Brilliant photos mate. Glad you had a good day. Love the A321 of Turkish airlines and Aeroflot.

Great shots there never knew IB still had MD 80?

Yes, as of October 2006, they still have 18 x MD87 and 12 x MD88. However they are slowly but surely been replaced by the A320 series aircraft.

Absolutely brilliant work Danny, glad you guys got lucky with the weather.

I flew on G-BUSE just a couple of months ago. As previously said, its an earlier -100 version.

Particularly liking the heavy shots. Great work:).

Fantastic selection mate! really enjoyed them :).

Brilliant shots!! I really like the ElAl 777

Heavy time …

Thats it, Big thanks to paul and Mark

Very nice shots there mate. The BA A320 are the older 100 series without the wingtip fences. The newer and more common 200s have them however!
