The things you see on holiday

Landing at Gatwick on Friday morning I spotted this as we taxied in. Most attractive I thought, I wasn't aware Boeing did stuff like this but its pretty obvious when you think about it.

Picture from google, not Gatwick as the camera was in the hold and my phone was off and takes forever to start.

I tried to take a photo of a Turkish AF Hercules parked next to our airliner as we walked out to it on the pan to come home but I was arrested, beaten up and banged up for 4 years in a prison which put the film `Midnight Express' to shame!

only joking,.....but the moral of the story is,....be careful what you photograph while on holiday!

In reality,.....I was was arrested in Turkey for taking a photo of a row of knackered old silver and orange painted T-33`s on the flightline after landing in Turkey aboard an RAF Herk, and as I`d been to Greece on exercise the previous year they also thought that I was a Greek spy,......but thankfully my Troop OC got me released after surrendering my film,....so I was nearly going to clink and the film Midnight Express was most definitely on my mind!

Cheers

Tony.

This A.109 landed next to us at Verona as we were waiting to fly home. Quick shot with an iPhone. null_zps70fb691d.jpg

Blimey that's an old AII, I thought they only had Powers now.

I hope I can get some pictures of an Uzbek IL-76, but it is a bit of a Police State. I will ask nicely before taking my camera out. They have civil and military variants, probably only the colour scheme varies.
