Gatwick, 2nd April

Hello from Majorca 😀
Great work there!

Just a quick question though…? What is the object in the background of the Clickair shot? And lastly, ?

Its a UFO 😉 😮 😀

The Ladybird tail design belongs to ACT Airlines, a cargo carrier, from Turkey. First time i’ve ever seen one of their planes. It stopped off for about 90 mins yesterday. Here’s another (rather poor) picture:

Ah yes…ACT Airlines! Now I have heard of them and they are a regular visitor to LGW, as I have seen their a/c parked on the remote stands before now…just not seen the the ladybird design on the tail, so it must be a new addition to their livery! Below is another image to show full livery on one of their A300F’s – apologises for the size!

Thanks anyway for that Tom!

I myself was wondering what that was in the clickair pic. I’ve come to the conclusion that it was one of those annoying little fly things – don’t think it’s a bird and it’s not dust on the sensor since no other shots had it.

Nice shots there mate!

I must admit at first I hated the new XL livery, but your photo has just changed my mind…I love it!:D

The FCA and Air Comet shots are also brillant!

Great to see the Jet2 146 up and running from NCL planning to use that service soon.

Are FLYBE operating the DHC8C with no markings?

All the best

Indeed they are. When I heard “Jersey” callsign on the tower frequency I was almost tempted not to get ready to take the shot, but then noticed it was a Dash 8-300 :). Not sure where it was operating from, though.

Very good shots…especially the one with the lad standing in the meadow..it has a real Spring feel to it

Air Comet 320 looks good, I didn’t realise they were operating the 320 now. Are FLYBE operating the DHC8C with no markings?

All the best
