Anyone happen to know the true identity of the GR.3 that’s parked next to the car park at Belize International? I shot to clandestine photos of it earlier this week before being chased away by the police (wouldn’t want terrorists blowing up 40 year old retired military jets y’know). Love to do a model of one of the 1417 Flight birds.

Thanks again one and all for the cornucopia of info. I’ve got the Elstree book ordered, as well as a DVD from Ian Allen on MH434’s history.

Here’s a crack at one of the later schemes. There are several errors on the one I posted yesterday (working very late at night will do that). I think this one is pretty good though…

Cheers,

Here’s my take on the early round wingtip version of the scheme. It appears she came to Britain with clipped wingtips, and must have had the standard ones refitted sometime relatively shortly thereafter. I’m open to comments and criticisms.

Anybody know if the dark blue paint was metallic? It appears so in some photos, but not in others. Also, anyone know if there are blue/white/black tips on the horizontal stabs in this scheme? It’s hard to tell in photos.

Cheers,

One more question Mark –

It’s hard to tell in any of the photos I’ve seen – did the horizontal stabs have any decoration on their tips like the wings did in either of the schemes??

Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for that. Do you know if she had the wing regs when she had the clipped tips??

Cheers,

PERFECT! Do you have any other images of her in the blue/white scheme?

Thanks SO much for posting those!

Mark – you could try using http://www.villagephotos.com It’s much more user friendly than Photobucket, and I’ve never run into a problem with bandwidth issues.

Alternatively, you could email them to me and I’ll post them here using my villagephotos account. My email is {jrh at pemtel dot net}.

Appreciate the assistance! I’ve become enamoured of that blue & white civil scheme, and I’m starting work on the gorgeous new Tamiya 1/32 kit. I may just have to mate the two 🙂

Cheers

Well which of the three, possibly four, variations of white over silver schemes are we talking about? See some of them within this thread of yesteryear.

Certainly I have air to air images clearly showing the over/under wing British Civil registrations as mentioned.

Any possibility of some scans of those pics??

Cheers

1. Port underwing and Starboard overwing civil registration.

Since I posted that, I’ve found these two shots (apologies to their source – I have no clue where they originated).

Any further ideas?? I can convinced myself that it might say G-ASJV under the left wing, but there’s for sure nothing on top…

Tks!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread again, but a question on MH434

Well, okay, a couple of questions:

1. When she wore the smart white over silver scheme with the blue trim, did she carry her civil registration letters on the wings as would be usual practice on a civilian aircraft? I can’t make them out in any of the photos I’ve seen of her in this scheme.

2. Does ANYBODY have photos of either MH434 or a similar 222 Sqdn aircraft in full D-Day stripes? What I want to know is, did 222 slop the black & white paint right over the codes and serials, or did they go carefully around them like some squadrons did?

Thanks for any pointers!

What’s the story with the 739ER…looks like it might be a white elephant like the 764!!!

I believe they’ve already built more of them than they did the 767-400ER. I wouldn’t call it a white elephant. It might not ever be the best selling 737 variant, but it’s gained a respectable customer base thus far. It’s an airplane that needs very specific requirements from an airline to be worth buying or leasing. In effect, it’s replaced the 757-200 in Boeing’s lineup.

Many thanks. A telephoto shot from a distance would be okay. No need to have to get right up close to it. I just need more or less a full frame shot of just that door. It’s only found on the -900ER though.

Tks!

Many thanks Antoni. I think that pretty well clinches it.
