Bristol: Airport - Photo Thread

[superking]

it sure looks strange to see an all orange plane. it turns ppls heads to look at it, a good bit of advetising as it gets ppl talking about easyjet.
they did nothing special for the 100th airbus when that went into service, all they did was put a sticker on either side stating it was the 100 airbus in the fleet.the reg for the 100th wa g-ezbr.

EZY UI has been at BRS for about 3 weeks, a few refer to it as the giant Tic Tac, personally I love it but could do with sharklets. It would be nice to see the 300th done in a metallic orange.

They should go with an all green one too and base the two aircraft together and have a proper "tic-tac" family. 😆

I quite like to all-orange livery. It reminds me a bit of the former US carrier Braniff Internationsl that ceased to exist about 30 years ago.

Hi all,

Been a while since my last post!
I took advantage of the afternoon sun to take a trip to my local.
Luckily, the special liveries that have been around lately were still around!

Back a few years ago 9h aen was based in brs, with air malta base. it was doing the work for the late xl airways.

every time it sees this plane in brs ,its like seeing an old freind. it was in full old air malta colours when it was based.

Fond memories superking. I remember the Air Malta being based for XL (for three years? but I wasn't aware of the registration)) along with an XL B 738. In the early years of this century my wife and I used the XL 738 to Salzburg and return for an all-inclusive holiday.

I know that as a company XL had its critics but the service we enjoyed on the flights was excellent. It was Bristol cabin crew and I always remember an older member (female) addressing the passengers as 'My Lovers'. Pure Bristol. Super!

Just shows what these excellent pics lead to...........

 

[PhilJones]

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I've had a bit of a dig through my old shots as I was sure I had some of the aircraft you mentioned...

Apologies for the lower res shots - they are as I edited them when originally shot.

Many thanks again, Phil.
I've also looked at your linked Flickr photostore - a treasure trove to behold!

Love the XL with the tyre smoke! All smashing pictures. :hatsoff:

 

[PhilJones]

Here's a couple of the A400M which made a couple "practice approaches" on Saturday, around 11am.

Out of the two practice approaches, there was only one that came low/close enough to shoot, as they going around on the second when they were still quite a distance from the threshold.

Great pics as always, Phil. Once again thank you for sharing.

I was in my garden on Saturday morning - I live on the south-east edge of Bristol - and saw the A400M making its two approaches. I miss the Hercules that sometimes did practice approaches now that RAF Lyneham is closed.

 

[superking]

yes likewise do miss the hercs, was a very common sight at one time.
likewise the brs airport used lynhams radar at times that brs had radar probs.
slight drift sorry.

Here's a few from last Sunday morning - a good number of charter flights connected to the Rugby match held in Cardiff that day (Ireland vs France).

Great pics. I particularly like the second Ryanair with the tyres smoking. Gives real feeling of movement. Many thank for sharing these.
