Tale of Two Jumbos at Manston today.

I really envy you boys in the south with so many photo opportunities !

Yes A330Crazy, I went to both museums. I had already planned to go there this week. I couldn’t get any clearer photos than you managed. I think the displays make the museum though and the coach loads that come up from the seaside towns bring in the money to keep it going.
I enjoyed a chat with the volunteer at the History Museum. He was ground crew on 601 squadron at North Weald and used to scrounge rides in their Meteors. I didn’t follow up his remark that it was a much smoother ride than a Lanc….. as more visitors came in!
mmitch.

Great Piccies Mmitch! Yes G-BDXO is an old BA aircraft. Though I think it belongs to Air Atlanta Icelandic, or it will possibly go to European Aircharter to join the other ex BA birds.

The MK airlines 747 is 9G-MKL, its the only silver/metalic one in the fleet. I saw it what I was there the other week. Did you get a chance to go in the two RAF museums there? If not I would advise to have a look around them… complete history of the airfield.

Cheers for the pic Mmitch. 🙂

We’ve seen a bit of that last plane recently

But the other is out to grass in the graveyard. Old BA? reg is
G-BDXO.
