About 124 inches for the GE90.

I don’t think it’s that big. The GE90 was the biggest (diameter wise) of the 3 777 engines, but it was only marginally bigger. If the Trent and the PW have diameters of 110 inches, then the GE90’s is like 112, or something. It’s not 14 inches longer than the other 2.

Jeanske, the 720 testbed you mention is owned by Pratt & Whitney Canada, which makes prop engines. For the 777 engine program, P&W actually brought the original 747 (line #1) out of retirement, leasing it from Boeing in order to use as a testbed for the PW4070.

All the times I’ve been at LHR, I also see quite a few AC example, but not just the A330. I have seen A340’s and 767’s as well. I’m guessing they have quite a few dailies from all 3 of their hubs in LHR. Then again, you usually see quite a few AA and UA examples, as well. I remember one pic that was posted a year or so ago, had 7 UA birds parked in T3 at once.

I jest of course!

I know, Sandy. I have no problem with you and Matthew messing with me. 😉

Pity its got the crappy watered down engine type though lol

NONSENSE!!! 😡

Great photo Dazza.

Does OA serve BEI?

Shed or not, I’d jump at the chance to fly on a Tristar again. Heck, I’ll bring my tools with me just to add to the atmosphere! 😀

An amendment to my previous post. Southwest has no flights in/out of SFO, only San Jose (SJC) and Oakland (OAK), both of which are pretty hubs for WN. This makes even more sense for VirginUSA to make a base out of SFO.

I would think that KL’s A330’s would have GE’s and not Pratts like the one pictured.
