Great picture, due to the wings mounted above the fuselage the bae-146s were low to the ground. The bac 1-11s were quite a small looking plane esp next to the fatter 737s but the b727s always looked much larger than the 737s due to been a bit longer and their chunkier T tail and 3rd engine. Was lucky to fly on a dan air b727 as a child back in i believe 1988.
I flew in a Dan Air 727 100 ftom MAN to CFU snd back in 1982. Lovely quiet aircraft.
yes the 100series variant which again looks a fab aircraft in its shorter length, I've always loved the shape of the cockpit front of the 727s and 737s which are ob the same aircraft fuselage but the shape of the rear T tail and tail mounted engine is the icing on the cake for me!
The 727 200 was my all time favourite aircraft. They looked superb in the climb out. So sleek and graceful.
I flew Air Atlantis (subsidiary of TAP) MAN-FAO many many years ago. It looked brand new.

Wow they been flying for decades! Sure we have had one or two into LBA many years back?
That was Braathens SAFE. I think they went bust and this modern incarnation arose from the ashes.
At one time, Steve Heapy mentioned the A220 as an option to replace the 733s, but then nothing was ordered to replace the numerous 733s retired since, and not only that, the A320NEO order was converted to A321NEO, suggesting Jet2 has no intention of buying smaller aircraft for thinner routes.
I was reading an article last week saying that Egyptair had to scrap a 5- year-old A220 due to the P&W engine problems.
