    Well, I’ve seen quite a lot of it – I posted a picture of it on here a few weeks ago, in fact.

    The KC10 Extender is far prettier

    Balderdash, sirrah!!! 😉

    Here’s an IL-76 of the Algerian Air Force on a quite glorious day at Southend.

    Yes, an excellent idea – and an equally excellent rendition, Sandy.

    Most major UK airports (but not Luton) have a branch of Boots The Chemist.

    Their “Meal Deal” – any sandwich, a packet of crisps and a soft drink for £2.85 – represents excellent value.

    Sorry – I just don’t get it………….. :confused:

    How do you know they’ve been swapped between those two particular aircraft – and aren’t they opposite engines?

    There is one easy difference between the BY 763s and the BY 762s.

    Apart from the B767-300 being noticably longer than the -200? :diablo:

    glad someone goes out in the crap weather!

    Well, I’m glad someone else is mad enough to go out in the crap weather… 😀

    Hmmmm – it’s been tried before.

    It was called “economy class”! 😎

    Only 12 you may be but you’re a part of our community all the same, Matt.

    Yes, Sandy.

    Hence the note at the bottom of my posting….. 😉

    I agree with Distiller.

    The same probably applies to Manchester as well! 😮

    Ooooh maybe not, Sandy. It’s msn 22885 and it worked for US Air/US Airways from 13/05/1983 until passing into the hands of Metrojet on 1/11/1999.

    It joined Alkarba Air (still the current owners) on 4/12/2003 and started working for Iraqi Airways on the 15th of this current month.

    It wasn’t one of the original Iraqi Airways 737 “Classics”, one of which was destroyed in a terrorist attack in Jordan in 1986.

    I think – but don’t quote me – that one of the remaining B737s fled to Iran in 1991 and was “appropriated” for use by Iran Air.

    Perhaps someone can shed more light on this? :confused:

    Not on a Saturday, GLA.

    Maybe they’re taking Patrick Kluivert’s wages home to the bank? 😉

    This thread really belongs in the “General Discussion” Forum, IMHO.
