Killingholme Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hi all, I've been in to modelling airliners recently, trying to focus on types which have shunted me around the world during my short, but colourful travelling history. I hope you can help me out- I remember my first trip in an aircraft was UK=Florida. This must have been 1997 or 1998. I am sure it was in a 747 because I remember sitting right up in the nose- almost facing in to the centre-line of the aircraft. I seem to remember the airline was a UK charter operator- and a colourful aircraft at that. So... can anyone help identify what I likely flew in? Google searches haven't turned up anything I instantly recognise. Perhaps my memory is faulty! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 This got me a bit intrigued so I did a bit of googling. Could it have been this Air New Zealand 747, leased by Airtours for the 1998 summer season? Looks pretty colourful as well. There are a few photos online including this one https://flic.kr/p/gE4YVA There's an article about it in the FlightGlobal archive which says it flew from Belfast, Cardiff and Manchester to Florida and the Caribbean: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/airtours-anticipates-summer-with-747-36970/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
