I had to smile at “his” mates comment about, how he was glad to see the back of it, and its on its way to “eefrow”. ( LHR) 😀

Hi jamie I was where you was near air livery but had to move before I did something to that **** who has not been able to keep his mouth shut for the last two week . I have sent a photo of him to air livery asking why I have to put up with his foul mouth abuse from one of there workers. cracking shot of him and his car :dev2:

Anyone know what time it arrived? I looked out as much as possible from bmi business lounge which had a view of short finals of 28 but failed to see it. Unfortunetly I had to sit with back to window but looked round every few seconds. Ugh if only private flights would should up on arrivals boards!

Oh i’ve done it again!,i missed it!!!!!:mad: The weather was actually not to bad,but i didn’t surface out of bed until 12.30,so it was in by that stage.I also missed it departing,usually when on 28,aircraft depart over my house but i didn’t see it….oh well,i’m going to hang my head in shame for a while now…:rolleyes:

Came in earlier today had previously asked for a flypast on arrival but changed there mind .Shot a VOR to 28 . Landed parked up posed and then was ment to depart for a right circuit low flypast and depart to Tenerife. Didn’t hang around myself im back in work tonight.

Great pictures again Tony, you must have been in the field at the end of 24, hope you had your wellies on!

Still at least you did not have to put up some comments shouted out by an Air Livery Painter directed at the 30 odd spectators next to their facility. Something along the lines of “There are its gone now, you can all go and get back to your sad lives” charming in thought. :rolleyes:

Well she is on her way home now after all these years by the sea. Weather was not great and did not make it easy for photos so here is what I got

Now for the low fly pass

This is the last we will see of her in the UK

Im off so Ill def head up. I got an airside pass so Ill get a better view than you all hahaha.

Anyone using this thread called Damien and work for EI in DUB?

Fantastic, I will be airside at DUB from about 10 am tomorrow so should be able to take some photos of her depending on where she sits!

Irish aircraft enthusiasts had better take next Friday off work/school…
The Australians are now in rather a hurry to get home. Even Seattle will now be by-passed…

and here is some information from another forum as to when she is leaving

Thursday is a layday.

Friday is departure Southend to Dublin.

Depart Dublin Saturday possibly to Orlando or Tampa to meetup with Travolta’s 707.

Montrial has very poor weather forecast

Seattleno longer scheduled.

Pago instead of Nadi due to a coup.

Final destinations depend on noise restrictions, ground handling,performance

However that said this has also been posted: Southend-dublin-tenerife-orlando-washington-seattle

Take your pick but it looks like Friday will be the last chance to get your pics.

Canda is just one stop on a zig-zag pattern going home to Oz. Not sure about all the stops, but one at PAE or BFI is planned, along with JT’s 707. Something like a 13 day trip I think.
