Went to LGW un-expectedly for a trip this afternoon, and saw quite a few interesting things! Among them were the new Astraeus 757, Emirates A340-500 and Novair A330 in new cs. Also got to see Travel City Direct TF-ABA in full colours. The picture is now going onto jetphotos.net as a ‘hot photo’ as it’s the first in the database. Check out the link below! Here goes with the pics:
1. Excel 767
2. BA A320
3. Easyjet A319 (Brand new, 2 weeks old!)
4. Virgin 747
5. BA 737

Just gotta few more from yesterday. Most of them are similar to those already shown, but then I did take 150 photos! First of all though, are the links to two of the Travel City Hphotos. They jumped the queue and were accepted last night as they were first in the database. I put them further up the thread, but the quality is much better in these ones, particularly in the second one.

Thanks everyone! Bigjet, there were numerous FCA reg’s. LGW is their second base after MAN, and so most of their fleet operate from there. Yesterday, I saw G-CPEV, OOAI, OOAU, OOBC, OOBD and OOOZ. I once spent a whole day at LGW and got nearly all of their fleet, yesterday I was only there for about 4 hours.

Great pics, what was the reg of the FCA ?
By: LBARULES - 23rd May 2004 at 00:15
Absolutely fantastic shots! I would love to visit that spot!

That A345 looks way over powered! :p Plus, is it not abit uneconomical operating it on a ‘short’ route compared to what it is designed for?

Thanks RIPConcorde and Andy!
