Whats the story with G-BYAR, Have they run out of sky blue paint or is it off elsewhere????:rolleyes:

It was due to go to Air Holland but the agreement fell through at the last minute and it came back and obviously they haven’t bothered painting it.

Excellent pictures as usual Kev.
This Air China Jumbo is great.

Thanks

Great photos Kev, particularly like the livery on that Air China. I’d really like to get upto MAN, but the cheapest I can get there I think is around £50 on Virgin trains, or £120 on Eastern Airways!

RYR to BLK at approx £25 and you will find for around £15 return you can catch a train from BLK to MAN – its not the greatest offer but a viable alternative, and is certainly the way i’d choose!

Nice china airlines pics! Great work Kev, thanks for sharing. 🙂

Thanks for all the comments, it’s very much appreciated. I’m going to start a ‘part 2’ because there’s quite a few pictures to come.

Thanks aagain,

Agreed, that plane must be very near MTOW I reckon.

Not necessarily, it’s just the angle in the first shot. In the 2nd one, it looks normal.

Great pictures Kev 🙂

Great to see references to Father Ted… One of my absolute favourite TV shows.

The Gear is identical to any other 747 (okay, there are minor technical differences). Perhaps it was fully loaded.

Fair enough. On the first shot it looked rather low to me, probably just the angle.

Excellent shots, especially the two China Airlines. I am a real fan of their colour scheme!

That China 744 Cargo seems to have pretty a short landing gear.

Are all 747 Cargos this close to the ground?

And the predictably dirty tail….

“Ted, isn’t the helicopter tiny?”

“No, Dougal, it isn’t tiny, it’s far away.”

“Ah Ted, you’re having me on again.”

(With apologies to Father Ted and cow in perspective scene.)

Ah now Dougal… this helicopter is small, but that helicopter is far away…:D

Great pics Kevin.

And again.

More to come later.

The bare Britannia, G-BYAR
