    I do have my sources, Joe….. 😉

    As I said earlier, I was given to understand that G-VIIM did a EDI-LHR earlier this afternoon and that’s quite literally all that I know about it.

    G-VIIM today – or at least, so I am given to believe.

    Well – that’s it from my 2 weeks off.

    I hope you’ve not found the pictures too boring.

    Thanks for all the kind comments. 😀

    Nice pics as usual, Joe.

    Wasn’t there a B777 operating BA0146 EDI – LHR today?

    Here’s one in colour.

    The DC10s looked good too, but the B747s were downright spectacular.

    Ha-HAAAAH!!!! Proves how much you know, Sandy me bhoy! 😉 :p

    That’s exactly where it comes from – that way the sun wouldn’t be shining directly through the cabin window (or porthole on the lower decks) on the journey through the tropics, resulting in a cooler cabin.

    A higher charge was levied for this privilege, and the tickets were endorsed P.O.S.H. – and thus it was that the word “posh” entered our fair tongue.

    Oh, I dunno – I’ve been on some pretty posh ships in my time. Even Senora Beckham would feel at ease.

    Ironically enough, the word “posh” itself comes from the great days of the liners.

    Ahhhhhh – CP Air DC8s!!!! :D:D:D:D

    I think it was Glasgow, Matthew. 😉

    I rather suspect that it might have happened at JFK on more than once occasion……. :p

    Surely a load that large could only be moved by sea? :diablo:

    The Coronado carried it’s own little black cloud with it everywhere it went, too.

    Looking back through my records I see that they also had EC-DSF, a DC10-30CF.

    Sorry, Ren. I must have edited my posting as you were composing yours.

    Spantax had both types, Ren. A DC10, too – EC-DUG.

    The DC10 came along later, though.

    The CV990 was the fastest airliner in the world until the Tu144 first flew.

    Not a lot of people know that. 😉
