Thanks for looking
Mark

The first two are excellent shots. The last one is a little poignant though! I flew a C152 into Norwich once, and was number two to a KLM F70. Got a great view of it passing right to left in front of me while I was on base leg.

just bit of an update afraid to say ZU has entered the paint shop at NWI and looks like turning Polar (White) afraid to say, bye Anthony
only PH-KZM remains now in full KLM livery at NWI, Air Livery baught batch of white paint so been busy

Cracking shots of the scheme in that light Mark

Shame it's all over white now when I saw it at Amsterdam I was hoping that it would stay in that livery and park it up in a museum like Lelystad or something.

Interesting to see what happens to it though
