Hi Guys,
Here are a few shots from DUB yesterday, when I went over to meet fellow nutcase and alcoholic CWBalmer. I didn’t actually get all that many shots because about 30 minutes after arriving at the mounds, Chris thought it would be a good idea to go for a beer (and a damn fine idea it was too!)
There was a 747SP departing which I’ve included four shots of, for no other reason than it just looks… Well… Wrong!
Anyway, enjoy!

Great stuff Paul, wasnt aware the SP was back up and running for the summer. I think the Qatari’s use it as a European shuttle when they cant find any spare Airbus’s :rolleyes:

Nice shots there Paul – dont blame me for a lack of photos on your behalf! :diablo:
Ah, well as I said above, going for a beer (or 7) was a fine idea!
More excellent shots Chris. My third photo of VP-BAT made it onto jetphotos.net so I’m happy. In fact all 7 I submitted did. Might go for a celebratory pint. 🙂

Splendid shots of old VP-BAT there.
But how can a B747SP look wrong?
Hang your head in shame, heretic!!! :diablo:
(Hangs head in shame). Sorry Lance, maybe “wrong” wasn’t a good word to describe the 747SP (Short Plane). ‘Different’ is maybe a better one 😀
Brilliant shots as ever mate, very lucky to catch the SP!
Was entertaining getting a phone call from you after your 6 or so pints of Heineken….. ;).
I think it may well have been 7 or 8 by that point! 🙂
Thanks for the nice comments people!

Super shots Paul. I’d love to see a 747SP up close like that.
