Then flew back to LHR in A-300-605R D-AIAZ, all in all a good trip with the highlight being the 2 Sudenese IL76’s.

My last entry into the competition probably, I do not expect to visit an airport prior to the closing date.

Today I did the final preparations for my upcoming trip to London….. I bought myself an image tank! 40gb of photos can now be shot, so that should be enough for 5 days. The store selling them is on the other side of the country so a stop at AMS was waranted. I was there for about 3 or at most 4 hours.

The following planes where seen with Dutch planes left out and the odd stuff in bold. Once again Air Pulmantur was at AMS, and just like last week I cocked up the photo. The plane was fully empty and took off like a rocket. It was too high to make a reasonable photo, just a view from underneath. You can just see the tail logo but that’s it.

I will add to Robs post by saying I did see OY-SVT – twice in fact! Was rather interesting, the first ATP to visit Farnborough since the airshow last time round, after that they were banned from the airport in the new liscence, not sure how they managed to get this one in! It was also the first BA colours I had seen at Farnborough, and I think probably the first ever world tail to visit as well? To add to the interest the ATP (operated by Sun Air Scandinavia) routed Billund-Farnborough-Filton-Cambridge-Billund!

This thread seems to have died a quick death? I just guess not many of us have been about much? I haven’t as I have a new girlfriend, never helps the spotting!!

It was quite easy. I opened my eyes, realised it looked the way it does and typed: U G L Y.

I can add an AN-124 Volga-Dneper RA-82042

Here we go, at TLV last Friday, spotted with photos, but photos confiscated by authorities. :(. But still have a list:

El Al B747-400
El Al B777-200
El Al B737-800
Arkia B757-300
Israir B757-200
Lufthansa B747-400 (yes, LH flies a B747 between FRA and TLV, very big route)
Alitalia A321-200 (finally, an Airbus!)
El Al B767-200
Arkia Dash-7
Israir ATR-42
Pulkovo Tupolev TU-154
Royal Wings Dash-8-300
Turkish B737-800
Sky Airlines B737-400
British Airways B767-300ER

My rarest sightings? The elusive Pulkovo Tu-154, Arkia Dash-7 and the Sky B737-400.

I saw a Sun Air of Scandinavia BAe ATP registration OY-SVU parked on the ramp in Bilbao yesterday. Painted in British Airways colours with the “Wings” world tail. Haven’t got a clue what it was doing there but it was quite interesting all the same. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a photo as it was impossible to get a decent shot of it due to where it was parked.

Seen from work in the final approach of Eindhoven. I regrettably do not have a photo.

RA-82047 *** *** Ant-124 *** *** Volga

Also seen a KLM Cityhopper F50 and a Ryanair but was unable to read the registration on both planes.

Lets just get this thread back to the spotting competition now, eh?

Yes, a good idea.
