There was a time when I'd have come back with lots of 757 pictures, nowadays it's all A321 and 738

Great pics Ray

Thanks for the pics, Ray. How often does the RAF transporter arrive and what is in it? Troops? Thanks.

 

[Brummiegem]

Ianbutty,the flights are mainly for troops and possibly supplies.
The RAF operate weekly to Paderborn.
IIRC,the other troop flight is on a Wednesday to Hanover operated by Small Planet Airlines,Germany.

Thanks brummiegem. Good see our forces making good use of a commercial airport. Just wish the livery was more exciting...now there's a thought: colourful livery for a troop carrier...

There is a good reason why the colour scheme is drab and subdued.

Having said that, I think the Voyager would look very good in the old Transport Command colour scheme of white top and tail, blue cheatline and light grey lower fuselage.

Strike command?

Fighter command formed in the 1930s, strike command came much later as part of improvements to improve our capabilities which continue to this day apparently.
