I'm off back there shortly as a B.747-200 4L-GEO followed by an -8i V8-BKH so that will be 3 differetn series of 747 in one day - doesn't happen very often!

Good catch with the National Andy, always liked that scheme.

Very nice indeed.

I returned mid afternoon to complete the trio of 747 types in a day and first to arrive was the 747-200 of The Cargo Airline 4L-GEO:

yes - if only this had been last Sunday, what a day it would have been.

Oh, and in addition to these I had to pop back home for a while and missed an An.12 and 2 747s (KLM and Astral) so could have been even better!

A very nice selection of aircraft and pictures with the National B757 looking great.

thanks Paul - it's probably got so much gold furnishing that it's a wonder it can get off the ground!
