The good folks at the local BBC don't seem to use the airport much, or someone would have noticed that this photo is a tad out of date

Only about 14 years out of date but perhaps news takes a long time to filter down to BBC Cornwall. I assumed it was BBC Bristol at first because their local knowledge on anything to do with the area is appalling.

the picture of the old terminal. brings back many thoughyts when it used to sit upstairs and look out over the apron. cant do that with new terminal. it was a cheap afternoon out with always lots going on and it was cheap as well. even car parking then cheap. how things have moved on sinse then.must stop now as will go on for hours.
one more thing now rail line open at dawlish as well. as localyokal said 14 years about to get to cornwall is good going.

I've put a copy of your post in the BRS Nostalgia thread superking.

If you or anyone else wants to reminisce more about the old terminal or anything to do with BRS for that matter they will be very welcome to do so in the Nostalgia thread.

I've put down a few of my thoughts about the old terminal.

The BRS Twitter link shows this pic of the new Thomas Cook A 321 (one of two such aircraft to be based at BRS this summer) parked on the apron after arrival today.

I have to admit the new Thomas Cook livery looks very impressive.

Incredible picture of BRS at sunrise at the beginning of what turned out to be a lovely late spring day.

The top of the control tower and aircraft fins can be seen popping out of the mist as if floating on a tranquil sea.

That really is a fantastic picture, thanks for posting it.

It certainly is and to have some from a photographer of the calibre of Phil Jones is an added bonus.

I always think that the western end of the airfield, shown in most of these pictures, is one of the most photogenic backdrops to any UK airport featuring as it does the Severn estuary six hundred feet below and the Welsh hills beyond.

Beautiful set of pictures Phil and a little bit of variety too! Is Easyjet UI based at BRS. I'd seen it in PMI a week or so ago?

I don't think that UI is at BRS very often. I'm not a spotter so registrations don't mean much to me meaning I'm not aware how often easyJet aircraft are switched around at bases like BRS.

However, I'm often walking in the area around the airport and our house is close to the flight path albeit a few miles from the airport and I think I'd have noticed the all-orange aircraft if it was a regular there.

Hopefully, Phil will give the definitive answer.

I have seen it everyday now for the past week. Looks ridiculous, the all orange colour, in my opinion. Like a monumental waste of orange paint.

I like the all orange livery.
