Prestwick, 22nd September

Blew the dust off the camera, today was the first time I have used it in 3 months 😮 The sun was shining and all I managed was the following….

AB 735? Air Berlin did have a 737-700WL in a dreamliner scheme, but they painted over it last year.

You’re absolutely correct, I always get the shorter 737’s mixed up ! :rolleyes: It’s since been repainted into the standard Air Berlin livery and presumably will soon be repainted again into the revised livery…?

And here is the China Airlines 744, still operating in Dreamliner livery, and Korean 739 appearing for Boeing at the Farnborough air show…

Why is the Ryanair 738 in Boeing house colours??

It’s effectively a Boeing ‘logo-jet’ Steve. They painted several customers new aircraft in this livery, with the airline’s details on the tail as a promotional campaign to launch the new house colours and raise awareness of the ‘Dreamliner’ concept, aka the 787.

From memory there was/is also an Air Berlin 735, a Korean 739 and a China Airlines 744, to name but some…

I’d have thought they would have reverted to their own livery by now, mind you ?

Scotty, it stopped for an hour or so to pick someone up as far as I’m aware.
Glad the X-Drive is working well, wonder if you will manage to fill it 😀

Steve, Ryanair have had that 738 painted for a few years now, I think it was something to do with Ryanairs commitment to Boeing with the large number of orders for 738’s, although that is what I’m made to believe
