Polar Bear Aircraft

Hi all …

Was having a chat the other day with a fellow NWI spotter about the number of plain white aircraft we have arrive and depart Norwich Airport.This got me thinking how many images of these “polar Bear” aircraft have been taken over the years,so thought i’d start a thread to try and find out.

Just the three from me to start, Feel free to add your photo’s if interested.

There would have been a time that airlines would never have operated an all white aeroplane. It seems much more acceptable these days. I guess it costs a whole bunch of cash to even partially paint a leased in aircraft. I suspect this is why UN aircraft are all white with simple U.N. letters?
