One last time spotting this year. The weather forecast was very good, other then the -3 temperatures. Since I needed an excuse to try my new car I decided to go spotting. The morning started hazy, but in the afternoon it cleared up quite nicely. Since it was bloody cold I only left the car for the interesting planes so this time no KLM, Transavia or other Dutch stuff except for the KLM Embraers.
As some of you may have already heard, I was involved in a car crash not that long ago. Fortunately no injuries and it was not my fault so the insurance companies are handling it now. The first picture below is of the car after the crash. The second picture is my new car.

There’s still time for you to change your “location” description on this forum. Your secret is still somewhat safe. 😀

I have to say, i am liking the martin air livery !!!!

Is that a new livery on Martinair?? it’s ghastly
Actually, it’s a retro livery. It will stay on the plane till it is retired, which (rumours indicate) will be within a year or 2. The whole Martinair 767 fleet is apparantly to be retired and replaced with A330s.
For what it’s worth, KLM introduced a retro livery today as well to mark their 90th birthday. The retro bird of KLM is 737-800 PH-BXA.
Apparantly there was to be a 777 painted in Skyteam livery (much the same as the horrendous Star Alliance livery) but I have yet to see photos of that one. If true it will be on PH-BQO as it is doing an “honour lap” around the Netherlands along with PH-BXA, the DC-2 and a DC-3 with a L-139 acting as photobird.
The “honour lap” is the first in a string of activities this year to mark the 90th birthday. There is a photocompetition attached to it, to see who can best make a photo of the formation with a famous Dutch landmark. However, there is quite a bit of fog now. Add to that the fact that the promotion is not well publiced, had I not been a spotter I would definately not have heard of it, and it is safe to assume the competition will probably amount to nothing.

Great work, Pete. Nice to see AP-BEC that’s been in LBA tonight, and the Embraer. 🙂
