It didn’t rain! 😀
So, I thought I’d try some long shots – with mixed results. Ironically enough, the problem today was heat haze.
1) A300 TC-ONT of Onur, with B777 9V-SVO of Singapore shimmering in the haze behind.
2) A320 TS-INB of Nouvelair. Note the Jodrell Bank radio telescope at the top left.
3) A321 EC-IJN of Iberia.
And finally……..
4) Something you don’t see every day!

Some of us who are more mature in years will remember the days when Iberia served the Barcelona/Madrid route ex MAN with DC9-32s. 😎
I remember those days, and the 727s. Thinking back, one of my first memories of spotting was seeing an Alitalia DC9 and an Aeroflot Tu134 at MAN.

Is Iberia using the 321 to BCN and MAD now that the Air Nostrum CRJ flights have ceased?
Ah – as is so often the case it’s not quite as simple as that!!
My understanding is that the A321 will be used where combined ticket sales to/from Barcelona and Madrid exceed the capacity of their A320s.
The usual equipment for the route will be the A320, I’m afraid – as was the case yesterday, for instance.

Well, 4 PIA aircraft on the ground isn’t all that rare and 2 Air Maltas is commonplace as A320 9H-ADY is semi-based at Ringway operating the old Azzura services.
What was unusual, however, was having all 3 PIA B777s parked on T2 at once. I certainly can’t remember seeing it before.
Thanks for the positive comments. 🙂
