Great shots Mark. Did you get any shots of Piper G-BMPC whilst you were there by any chance?

……You werent by the flying club/bmi hanger were you?

I’m not sure, but I don’t think so.

I don’t know EMA all that well these days – the road layout on the terminal side has changed a bit since I was last there during the day! :diablo:

That Russian has been in and out of Coventry all week – I’ve been watching it out of my classroom window. Very nice to watch 😎

That is the cleanest 737-200 I have ever seen! I wonder if it was there for painting?. The reason I say that is that the horizontal stab is at an unusual angle. (They move it about during painting to get at the bit underneath)
It is also quite rare to see a 737 with the gravel deflector in this country too. Some of the rough field 737’s have spray bars fitted underneath the engine intakes to “blow” any debris clear of the intakes but they don’t appear to be fitted to this one.
Good spot, thanks for that Grey
