Might it have been on a post maintenance/test flight, goodwill trip or a VIP charter perhaps ?
She looked a bit like this the last time I saw her…
Actually… a little searching under “Varsity” and not “Viking” as I first thought, leads me to this picture of a nose taken at South Yorkshire Aviation Museum this month.
It says it came from Dumfries and Galloway Aviation Museum in 1997.
Not much left of the old bird then… I used to play in it as a kid 20 years back when my mate’s dad would get us airside at GLA in his yellow BAA landrover.
It’s my next ambition to actually take some decent pics with the sky in it’s traditional blue and not grey as it always is when I go snapping.
Well so much for an exclusive pic, turns out the plane came into GLA the day before early in the morning. Which means that this pic of mine represents the 2nd visit of C-GZUM to Glasgow.
Oh well…. It’s still the first pic on it’s proper Monday once a week day.

Just found out that The BRA 737 is leased from the Brazillian airline and operating for Astraeus.
There’s some info on A.net saying it operates for Euro Atlantic and will be found in Glasgow/Edinburgh this summer going to Faro and Funchal.
Is Euro Atlantic the European wing of BRA ? Same company yeah ???
I posted some of these on a newish US site called AIRLINEPICS.COM they’re looking for more pics to add to the database and seem like nice guys. They pride themselves on being an alternative to the “fussy” attitude of A.net.
The upload quality can be a little variable but generally it’s fine. Have a look folks and post some pics. They have message boards as well (not as good as this mind you, but there’s an aviation photography one too)
… and this slightly wider shot of the first arrival of C-GZUM at the international gate next to just arrived BY 767. G-OB??
Great shots Monster, the 747 nose is my fave !
And finally one from before that got lost in the hack last week.
G-DOCB for definite, a tail shot.

here, Ren, have you not confused the registrations of the two BA 737’s?The first one must be G-DOCV (you labelled it G-DOCB), with G-DOCB further down (you didn’t label it). 😉
I’m always mixing them up, depsite my best efforts not to. I need to file my pics properly, have changed the label on the first pic.
I think the BRA arrival was a holiday charter from Reus ? I was using a print out of the BAA live flight arrivals for the day and a scanner. The flight arrivals was as much use as a chocolate fireguard, everyting was early or late. It left about an hour later.
Here’s another tartan tail, see if you can get the reg CV? CB?

The Barra express comes in…
