After a few hours at Prestwick today to shoot a departing Polet Antonov 124 taking vehicles to Iraq I managed to get out to Glasgow in time for the delivery flight of Globespan’s brand new 737-800 so here are some photos of it.
Like the first one it arrived without the Blended Winglets which are to be fitted very soon at Southend along with the addition of the full Globespan tail colours.
It departed about 7pm on a training flight and will probably be seen in and out of Glasgow again on Tuesday if it does the same as the first one so there is a little time left yet for the locals to see it before those big Winglets are added.

Boeings paint crew are highly specialised… I doubt “they” actualy screwed up.
More likely a management screw up… trust me I know aaaaall about that after my Bahamasair dealings. You send a perfectly good plan to the paint shop…. a management type person phones them up and alters it… the result is a shambles.
Well, somebody made an error in the painting of the first B738 tail while it was still at the factory because it was re-done in SEN at the same time as the winglets were fitted. 😉

I, for some reason, really like it like that! Looks great, even better with winglets 🙂

Nice pics, so Boeing have left the painting of the tail to the guys at SEN after they screwed up the first one then? 😉

It departed DurhamTeesValley about 2000, so arriving 2040ish should be about right

That would sound about right for the timing with it leaving about 7pm I was nearly tempted to keep a listen out for it coming back in case it went to Stand 8 again since that is one of the very few Stands that you could get some night shots through the Terminal windows.
The lights are quite orange but that can be partly rectified by the Digi camera or in photoshop, I always shoot RAW mode anyway which helps in dealing with strong colour casts.
Only problem with Stand 8 at GLA is that when I’ve been in and looked at night there is often a KLM aircraft towed over to a Stand in front of it.
Kevin keep an eye open for it tomorrow if you are in the area, decent forecast and Easterlies again but you know Glasgow it will probably take ages for the low mist to burn off.

should be up in Abedeen all day 😡 😡 as usual
