    What kind of livery is that on G-ASWU. The BA one with bright KLM-blue cheatline and a modified Landor tail logo. Have never seen that on another BA plane.

    Since most pimpmobiles are small, secondhand and dirtcheap, I’ll start with “my” very own Fokker F100.

    • very small nose wheel;
    • very large main wheels;
    • shock absorbers should be controllable so the plane can bounce in the parking lot
    • Add some spinners as well;
    • triple the surface area of the tail;
    • hang flurry dice from the back up compass (since there is no rearview mirror);
    • replace the Speys for GE90s;
    • empty the forward cabin and add lead to counter weight the GE90s;
    • blue tube lightning under the hull and wings;
    • replaint the plane. Not white with a colorful tail, but metallic red everywhere (you should be able to see your reflection);
    • add some fire stickers;
    • replace the normal radio for a stereo with dolby surround;
    • don’t forget to add boxes under the wings! Everyone should be able to hear me coming;

    some excellent commercials by an insurance company featuring a very special pimp mobile. Be sure to check all three of them out as they are hillarious!

    Completely unrelated to pimp mobiles, but I can’t get away without showing this one! It is the best add I’ve even seen. It even caused a diplomatic incident cause the North Korean ambassador was not that pleased! Wonder why? Don’t be put off by the “Korean” language/Dutch subtitles, it is insignificant.

    Nice photos there! The easyJet photo is particularly interesting, what happened to the “the webs favourite airilne” slogan? It seems to have been change to “Come on, let’s fly”? Will this be added to every plane? Hope not, cause I’d have to reshoot evey plane again! 😮

    Congrats with your birthday!

    Happy Birthday, all the cool people seem to have their birthdays around this time of year. *cough* 😉

    Yeah I agree. All are around mid to late May! :dev2:

    You already know when the move will take place and at roughly what time? Are overized road transports allowed during the day in the UK? Cause in the Netherlands oversized road transport are not, and thus only done during the night. Does not help photography wise!

    A Hertz is an indication of power. The more hertz, the more power per second is transferred. Therefor, the higher the Hz ratio the more power can be transported per second.

    This also means that the current electricity grids get more efficient. Instead of installing a new series electricity cables everywhere (as well as their back-ups) they can use the current cables thereby saving weight.

    This technology is hard to retrofit though. The added power may be too much for the cables to handle. You could compare it with a waterline. If you suddenly double the pressure, it may break. So don’t expect older planes to get this system. The newer planes will be though, and some of the newer models now on the market (think 737NG, 777, A320, A330) MAY be equiped with the stronger cables required. Maybe someone else can confirm/deny this suspision?

    In the past the planes used relatively little electricity. The cockpit, cabin lighting and shared TV(s) and in case of Airbus FBW. Nowadays though much more electricity is required for more cockpit instruments and much much more IFE. Nowadays most new (longhaul) planes are delivered with one TV per seat. That eats power at astonishing rates.

    I heard the same, about the special livery that is. The tour around Germany is new for me, though not entirely unexpected.
