I’d heard that LH is just rolling over the 340 fleet to newer versions-thats all.

Nice one Andrew……The door at the back by the engine intake is purely an emergency exit. On the Balkan Airlines 154s that I used to ramp this was sometimes blocked by unsecured bar boxes just left on the floor!

Nice one Ren, If you had not said anything I would have seen this as one of the travel agent models that I collect. The old BEA Red Square livery looked good on anything. I have a Comet4B in the same livery, I think its in 1/50 scale.

Thanks Andrew…Option 1 please. Very nice, puts across a very clean and efficient impression.

Nice one Comet……could’nt have put it better myself. Message to Ryanair…remember Air Florida!

Saab……..here here to that! I guess that I am becoming an “avio-dinosaur” in my old age, but as EGNM says it will be around a while yet.

Andrew, Sadly the model isnt mine, it belongs to a friend. It is made by the company A.M.I Phelps and I am told there are only two in existance, Mr Branson has the other one! It is made of fibreglass and is in 1/100 scale. I have an A3XX in the same colours and scale made by the same artist, again it was one of two and I’m told that Mr.B. has the other one. A.M.I Phelps is the preferred model supplier to Airbus Industrie. When I visited their premises about 18 months ago they were putting the finishing touches to a 1/25 A380-massive!

Goodbye old friend………The spottings been fun!
