"I think its..Oh wait.....Erm"

Postby Jimbo » Tue Oct 04, 2005 4:26 pm

Well this was taken in July in a A330...

Got bored, and took a photo...what surprises me is, very close! :o 8) ;D

P.s Quality Bad, I give permission to save and zoom and have a closer look, but please dont edit.

Now what do you reckon it is?....I think its a Virgin 747

not sure which exact model? Take some guesses!...

Cheers

Tail looks blue to me. So it could be either a United 747 in new colours. Or a BA 747

The blue belly aswell makes it almost certainly not a virgin 747. Where was it taken?

The blue tail (with globe on the tail) and white body sure looks close to a Continental 767...but in the third pic it looks like a Chinca Airlines 747, hard to tell

I was about to say a Continental plane, but wait, they dont have 747s!  Anyways, my guess is Lufthansa British Airways!

I'm going with the British Airways guess. It all seems to fit from the blue bottom, to the coloured tail to the faint swoosh on the side in the final picture.


(Advice, put your head away further from the screen)

Thereby eliminating any gain brought by zooming in in the first place? ;D ;)

It looks very much like a BA 747 with one of them 'orrible tails to me, probably a 400 but what would I know about such things? Bring back the Union Jack I say. Good Old Maggie. Hip, Hip, Hoooray. :D

Had this been a Tiger Moth I could probably tell you the registration, where it's based & who owns it. :P ;D

And YES i reccomend to look away from the screen, the pixels are horrid, kind of reminds me of the graph paper you used to get at school!

Cheers All ;)
