Tenthije – well done – that is what I was refering to. I had not noticed until a dutch spotter pointed it out as it taxied past.

The yellow is down to my photoshop skills (or lack of them) 🙂 – it looks fine on home monitor but does look strange on work one.

Turkish charters are regular and it is nice to see some companies that do not visit the UK often (at least my part of it)

thanks for the comments – they swopped ends shortly after hence the rest are all (bar 1) landing from the left.

Did not think of the Fokker as a taxi (but do now) – how would you hail one 🙂

Nobody spotted the 737 answer yet ? – it is obvious but people see what they expect to see. Nothing to do with winglets though.

Andy,

stayed at the Sheraton on top of the car park – very convienient but not the cheapest! – There is an Ibis which is pretty close but have not tried that. As there are good links to the city it might be worth looking there and taking the train to the airport. For eating the place opposite the aviation shop + terrace entrance is pretty good.

Seahawk,

If you were at Duss over the weekend then it is possible we may have ‘met’ – spent Thursday on the terminal deck with some time at the station mid afternoon. Friday went to Cologne by train and again spent a couple of hours at the station on returning. Saturday was spent on the terminal deck as runway direction had changed (mini UN meeting with germans/dutch/english/australia all represented) Sunday was spent at the station as it was not a nice day before flying home in the afternoon.

Railway station terrace is close to runway – (300 yds maybe) but the taxiway is between terrace and runway and aircraft are very close. The EK was too large for lens hence the front shot. (yes they do get everywhere)

Were you on board at the time? – I have larger versions taken from the RAW file on home PC or the original jpeg that was sent to photobucket and then resized by them. Drop me a pm with an email address and I can send the jpeg today.
