Thanks Tony ! I never think to look in G-INFO ! …… So it looks terminal ?
I always think of all the smiling happy family faces leaping aboard this aircraft going on their holidays ….. and then look at the rather sad airframe awaiting it’s fate !!
Keith 🙁
by738, Sad to say, but yes, a few early KLM 73’s have passed this way over the last few years !
Keith 🙁
Nice set Gary, been there a few dozen times, never seen such an amazing selection of aircraft as this ….. just a lot of old freighters !
Keith 🙂
Yes David, that name has been linked to a few previous visits, I have heard rumours that the crews like coming to Norwich ‘a friendly place’ Well lets have more visits like this please ??

There is a photo in March 2013 ‘Airliner World’ pp14 ….. ‘African’ Jumbo …. ‘Boeing 747-338 … C5-SAM (Gambia registration) in Kazakhstan based Al Sayegh Airlines full colours visiting Ras al Khaimah in the UAE in January’

Thank you by738, yes a 10 year old airframe with who knows how many flight cycles ? it still annoys me that Thomson continue to use a slightly different blue on the fin compared too the rest of the fuselage …… always looks wrong to me !!
Keith :confused:
nibb 100. Well it’s come to the right place for a respray ! but it didn’t stay around long enough.
Banupa. As I understand it they are civilian aircraft operated by civilians crews !

EGTC. Thank you too …… after all the years of exchanging comments here I have always wanted to ask you what Y.N.W.A is all about ? but never got round to it ! But working with a lot of football crazy people, one lunchtime recently they were talking football songs and that phrase was mentioned !! ears pricked up and I learned that it’s Liverpool for you ?? I know more about breeding pygmy aardvarks than football ….. so don’t ask …:D
Keith :diablo:
