Spot on again Tenthije with the Air Plus B747 and the Uzbekistan IL 62. The IL 62 was in the same colours as the upper picture you posted. I think you are right in that it was an IL86 not an IL96 I saw, I always confuse the two. The blue colouring was the same as in the lower picture you posted but the logo was very small, it looked a bit like a crown but very difficult to tell without Binocs.
Thanks for your help again. On a more positive note I managed to Identify a KABO AIR B747 yesterday, helped by KABO AIR being written in gigantic letters on the side
EAL King – I have not seen any “European” B747s but that is not to say there have not been any. Flights are round the clock and the busiest 2 or 3 days usually sees an extra 600 movements a day over and above the normal traffic.
