V8-ALI was the Brunei 744 parked up at LHR for about 3 months (or at least it felt like it!)

And how could you forget the Brunei 744 that spent half of last year sat outside the BMI hangar!

The confusing bit is they paint the VIP aircraft in the same colours as the National Airline, so you are never quite sure what is what! The Saudis also have 29 McDonnell MD-90s but I don’t think they are ALL used for VIP transport!

The Middle Eastern countries have a lot of nice Private Jets. The UAE has the best lot:

1 A319
1 Beech 350
1 Gulfstream 4
6 737 BBJs
1 747-200
3 747-400s
3 747SPs
1 767 (On lease to Etihad)

Qatar have a 320, a 319, a 310, 2 340s, and a Global Express.

The only 777 I can think of belongs to Mid East Jet who operate 2 BBJs, a 757, a 767, and a 777 (N777AS) but these don’t just operate for one person, they are more of a charter specialist.

Was the Blue Line Fokker in on a charter? I know they are French but not sure exactly where they come from?

Its a freight carrier, bringing in an engine for Firstchoice I believe.

Aaaargh!! Its the dreaded Peach yoghurt!!!!!! My last 4 BA flights have had that damn peach yoghurt on all of them, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner!!!!!

Love those things, saw one of their white 741s and one of these painted 742s in Amsterdam the other day, superb aircraft!!
