You see 1625, a C-130 of the Royal Saudi Air Force.
The US Air 757 currently resides outside the old BA hangar.

I also see something military and the US 757 has moved

Those are great! The only thing I’m looking forward to about going back to uni in september is being able to go to MAN whenever I want. I’m certainly not looking forward to my finals 😉

I see one of the Travelcity’s 747’s in the back ground too

ah, thats a better photo.
Atleast I got the patch over the flags right 😉
Brilliant photos though. Thanks for posting them Grey Area… anymore?

Ah! Let me explain:
The “patch” to the right of the titles is, in fact, “.com” in highly-reflective silver text which just caught the sun at the wrong angle. (See attached picture, with aircraft at a different angle.)
Mind you, this second picture reveals that the patch over the flags is even worse than it appeared in the picture I posted yesterday.
……BTW – the more observant among you will have have noticed the Excel Airways 737-800 with winglets in the background. This is ZS-SJG, on lease from South African Airways.

I love that Snowflake livery despite it being quite basic! Good to see WWBD in use quite a bit!
!EDIT! I saw that snowflake @ GVA in April in SAS livery!
If you look closely at the forward fuselage, just to the right of the “snowflake” titles, you can see how SAS have just patched over the “Scandinavian” titles.
Also at the rear end above the last 6 windows theres a similar patch were all the scandinavian flags would usualy be.
A cost cutting job it seems 🙂

Oh, stop it now – I’ll have to have the door widened to get my head out if all these compliments continue.
It’s good to be appreciated – thanks a lot, everyone. 🙂

Speaking of Ringway my sister is flying to Ayia Napa (Larnaca) tonight (19/5/04). Her flight number is TCK702K If anyone could get a picture it would be great.
