Looks like BA are not in a hurry to replace their world tail images on their training fleet and are concentrating on repainting the tails of their airliners first. Nice to see these shots for a change.

Great photos! I saw a Tartan ERJ145 at BHX on 30th March, and a Tartan Dash 8 in MAN on 8th June, as well as a Chelsea Rose Dash 8 in MAN.

Actually they are used as escape planes for 747’s, a bit like lifeboats are used on ships. They keep them in the hold just in case. 😀

Some Beautiful shots Andy. Ive wanted to visit Wycombe Air Park for awhile now, seeing as its not really all that far from LHR (30-45mins or so away). Other than going to the airports, i do like to get around to some of the smaller airfields – Shoreham and Fairoaks to name a few.
But with Wycome you get the added bonus of seeing all those world tails. 😎

Despite me not liking BA, i liked thw WT’s, and was sad to see em go. Still some on the RJ’s eg ERJ’s and ARJ’s tho

They’re the crew luggage aircraft, they follow us on trips carrying crew bags and pilots wallets!
Just joking pilots, you’re a great lot really!!!!

Why do BA have aircraft so small? Can the do pax flights with them? :S

Hmmm… If we did Nottingham East Midlands to Edinburgh in the PA-28, the hamburger would cost quite a bit more than £100!!! 🙁

These were all taken today at Wycombe Air Park, otherwise known as Booker, which is near High Wycombe… We took PA-28 Warrior G-CDON down there from Nottingham East Midlands so we could have lunch – the proverbial £100 hamburger! 😀

Its a BA contingency plan in case Ryanair or Easyjet gain even more market share – if this happens, the PA-28s can be quickly deployed on the UK domestic shuttle routes without them loosing brand recognition!!! :rolleyes:
