i am starting my holiday pictures with that of the aircraft that i took pictures of.

first two from Gatwick, very limited time and space to take from so this is pretty much all i could get from there, and i had no such luck at Dalaman either.  :(

BA 737 (can anyone identify the model? i think its a 400 or 300 but im not sure) taxiing to the gate

BA BAe-146 again just finishing its taxi to the gate

the colour is off in these because of the tintied windows of gatwick.

now, during the first week at the sunsail club we were staying at there was a huge fire on the opposite side of the hill to where we were situated, and a helocopter was called in to help put out the fire, and luckily for me, the helo was picking up water from right infront of me!!

and, quite obviously, i took some photos!!  ;D

can anyone please identify the type of aircraft?






and last thing for this thread
again while at the club i saw two fighters go screaming over in what looked like a practise dog-fight, i think they were F-5s, or at least they looked like it from what i saw briefly. Im not sure if anyone would know anything about this, and frankly i would be surprised if they did, but if anyone can shed any light on this i would be very grateful

hope you've enjoyed these, and there will be a few more, non aircraft-related threads coming soon

and all comments always welcome

cheers

Hooray for the non aircraft related photo threads.


That helicopter is a Russian design. Yesterday I could have told you what it was but I've forgotten now. Someone else will tell you though for sure.

from the ugli-ness of it i thought that it could be russian...  ;D

The Russian Heli is a Kamov KA-27 Helix. Not sure about the model of the 737 though... # 4 and 6 are fantastic  8)

To back Vulcan1 up, yes, that is a Ka-27 helix. I saw it and went, "oh my God, I shoot those things down in Lock on!!" It's true.
One AIM-9 sidewinder, and an AIM-120 missile always blow the tail off(AIM-9's work) and the other (AIM-120) blow both contra-rotating rotors off.
LOL
