That’s some scheme on the 737.

I like your first shot of the US Army Poky, tilted over a bit in the wind.

Hmmm. What was the Kuwait in for ? A one off ?

Great shot there.

Love the yellow light on the Qatar !

A good wee selection there. You wouldnae think it was France at the start with all that American tin. Are the landing shots at AMS on runway 06 ?

On the way back to Calais dropped in to Le Touquet Cote D’Opal International Airport! (The International bit is it’s daily flights to Lydd (Lydd Air Trislander) and SkySouth (Navajo Chieftain) to Shoreham, and is jumping with G- spam!!:

Well, have flown international from Lydd and into Le Touquet. Both different types and neither of them a Trislander.

Great selection of old shots there ! What were the Interflugs doing at EDI ? Was it charters for the DDR fishermen like the ones that used to come into Glasgow … or some other reason ?

Great report with some very nice photos. I like the coloured buildings of Murmansk. Must have been a good atmosphere.

That shot of the BA 747 has a great sky!

Not sure what might have been among the “Meat cuts of the butcher’s wife”
in that restaurant. Ha.

I was interested to read that Severomorsk is a closed town. I thought closed towns were a thing from the old days of the Soviet Union. Didn’t realise that they still exist. Oh well, you live and learn. I see the terminal at Murmansk still carries the title ГОРОД-ГЕРОЙ … Hero City.

Good work.

Great selection there.

That duty free shop at Vilnius is doing a roaring trade eh ? Ha.

Wannabe…. it’s actually a Fokker 70, so the wing is even closer to the engine. I remember similar views when flying in the little Finnair DC9-14s and 15s in the early 80s.
