LHR Visit (17/04/05) – Including the "Birthday Girl!"

Took a trip out to LHR for a little while ths afternoon – got there at 1:20 and was lucky enough to have nabbed the last space in Myrtle Avenue.

Main reason for the visit was to hopefully catch the “Birthday Girl” – Yup, Virgin’s specially painted aircraft for the celebration of their 21st Birthday.

Here’s a selection of pics.

Enjoy!!!

OK-DGM

At Last!!!!!! Ive finally got to see the new livery! AP-BAK.

So I couldn’t just take one picture of her.

6Y-JMM – Looks lovely when you get some nice weather!

A6-EYX, and at last i finally got a nice picture of an Eithad Bird!

A busy day today it was for Egyptair, as well as this 777 (SU-GBS) they also sent in an A321 too.

Is this the new LHR Control Tower?

D-ABIC – Lufthansa seemed to dominate today whle i was there – nearly out numbering the amount of BA flights.

The Bmi Baby logojet up high.

VT-AID – The second AI flight while i was there (The first was VT-AIF)

Royal Jordanian A340-200 up high – Notice the shadow being cast across part of the contrail.

One of the very few left in a World tail – G-BNWB.

G-CPEN – One of many BA 757’s seen, though sadly the Blue Peter one was not about. 🙁

G-VFAB – Here come the “Birthday Girl”. – Note the 21st Bday balloon on the nose.

Tail section only, showing you the design… looks nice with the sun on it – though is it me or has it already begun to peel? (Sorry about the tree!)

OE-LDA – Sporting the new colours. Looks nice.

Thats all of em – hope you liked! 🙂
