Brussels

Hi,

A few from Brussels, where I ended my ‘European Tour’ back in July.

Alitalia’s retro Airbus EI-IXI was the highlight for most of the spotters watching the arrivals:-

The based Belgian airlines were of greater interest to me though, including Thomas Cook A320 OO-TCI:-

An unexpected visitor was Neos 767 I-NDOF:-

Plenty of Brussels Airlines Avros still flying about, including OO-DJJ which has never gone to Korongo:-

Several interesting Turkish charter carriers visted as well, including Tailwind’s TC-TLE:-

‘Firefly’ must be one of the most photographed aircraft of the summer:-

With the Olympics now being a distant memory and the summer fast fading, maybe Austrian Arrows Fokker 100 OE-LVM is more appropriate as we head towards winter:-

Alitalia Express Embraer 190 EI-RNC bought my day and trip to a sucessful end:-

Well that’s a brave admission;) But then I don’t think I’m far behind you. I can still remember as a child, flying on a BEA ‘Red Square’ Comet 4B!
