This aircraft arrived at Norwich, from Tolmachevo Airport Russia, mid morning whilst I was busy with a project ! .... But luckily it was left sitting at stand six until I arrived early evening and following some luck with movement of ground equipment this is the best I could get ..... at the moment I have no idea why it's here .... but no doubt all will be revealed later ?????

As a little aside .... Whilst Kevin and I were waiting to get our photos of the A321 we got a very friendly wave from the captain delivering a KLM E190 for maintenance ....

Well after eight days with this aircraft having been parked in the most awkward position ..... lunchtime today it was moved giving better access ....

Afraid so - sad isn't it

Well this aircraft is still at Norwich having been parked in the storage area for some time ... today it was towed across to a stand near the apron ... seemingly just for fuel and then returned to storage ...
