When the first 757 RR planes were delivered to BA and Monarch they had different engine cowlings to the later ones. The new one is a long one piece section where as the old one looked like the ones attached to the Tri-Star’s.
Using Monarch as an example they still have there original 757’s in service and have the standard one piece cowing. Why did they change and what is the difference between the two as all new 75’s have the new style attached as standard.

The engine on the Dutchbird is a Pratt, not an old RB211.

The first flights I did on the 757 were on C engined aeroplanes and I thought it went like stink. All the Thomas Cook aircraft are E engined and make the C engined aircraft seem like a Robin Reliant!

I’m assuming the differences would similar to the RB211’s in the 743’s as opposed to the RB211’s in the 744’s.
