    In the end, they’ll probably pick up another handful of second-hand B747/A300/A310s like they normally do.

    Let’s face it : maybe just a matter of backhander……

    Well, they’re bound to go for Airbus products then because – as we are so often reminded on this forum – Boeing would never stoop so low. [/IRONY]

    Did I mention that I’m Kylie Minogue, BTW? 😉

    What they are suggesting goes against everything the EU
    stands for…

    Just as it did when the CAA made similar representations to Alitalia on behalf of BA a couple of years ago.

    Got anything to back that up? A link perhaps.

    Errr….. how about the very article that you linked to? 😉

    G-RJXJ is in the new scheme, Mark, but it’s an EMB135.

    Air India could change their mind again yet.

    Several times, in fact.

    But still no US customers as yet.

    Does no-one else find this puzzling?

    By going up in smaller planes etc – its done alot more now than it was, say 10 years ago is it not?

    Well no, I don’t think it is, actually.

    Skypilot has voiced my concerns about the picture far more eloquently than I can. At the end of the day, I’m just not convinced by it.

    rather than the new angles that people are able to obtain now-a-days

    Eh? You’re going to HAVE to explain that one! :confused:

    It looks like quite a sunny day when the picture was taken. Wouldn’t heat haze and convection make it unusual to get results that crisp using a big lens from a distance?

    If it’s taken from a light aircraft then it must be have been a very very smooth ride indeed on a sunny day over uneven ground with the inevitable thermals. No camera shake that I can see.

    Sorry – I tend to agree with skypilot62. Something just doesn’t look right about it. Can’t put my finger on it, but it’s there all the same.

    Thanks fellas! 🙂

    Feedback like that makes it worthwhile. 😀

    Monarch must really love their A300’s…

    I think the fact that the punters seem to love them is a rather more significant factor in this decision.

    Worth getting wet for…….

    Here’s the Beast itself – An22 UR-09307 on approach to 24R at Manchester.

    Sorry about the quality, but the light was pretty poor – as you can tell by the lights on the aircraft.

    The pouring rain didn’t help much, either. 🙁

    In fact A321 OH-LZC, B757 OH-LBX, OH-LPC MD83 (all ops Scandic) and A319 OH-LVG (normal service) were all in this morning, dc10fan. All four are in the new scheme. 😎
