I passed the airport twice last week and the Small Planet B 733 was parked up on both occasions.

The second time I managed to get a reasonably close look and the livery is quite eye-catching, in a sort of nursery school way.
 
Have you been having a wee Christmas dram.
The chance would be a fine thing. :beer:

To me it looks like the sort of design that a teacher might draw on an aeroplane picture for nursery kiddies.

Perhaps Postman Pat might have a mate called Pilot Pete who could fly it.
 
I note the Small Planet B 733 which is based at BRS this winter worked a Santa flight today to Enontekio.

Makes a change from The Thomas Cooks, Thomsons and Monarchs that have been doing these flights this year, although today a Jet2 B 733 did a Rovaniemi.

All checked in for my flight to Sydney from Manchester via Heathrow. Been waiting for this trip for nearly a year and now tomorrow I'll finally head to Australia and New Zealand!

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
