And the legroom in Club Class is quite good as well...

Nice photos, i particularly like the Bangor ones. I was based there with Monarch during the winter of 91/92 as a Licensed Engineer doing all the transit stops through there approx 70 flts a week. Very fond memories of Bangor, bloody cold in the winter temp routinely down to -40 in january february.

I would assume the latter judging by his previous posts of pretty much every RAF aircraft 'from the office window' and the dress in the last shot. :smile:

#2 is cool - expecially considering there is a ton of white to screw up the exposure

Is that colour scheme still current? I don't remeber seeing a 1011 or VC10 in those colours for some time.

The Vc-10s haven't been white for years, as for the Tristars, I think they're all grey now? If not there can't be many in white any more. Apparently they looked too "civvy". Pity, as they really did look smart, as these pictures testify! :grin:

These were taken in 2004, the Timmys are gray now.

I had the seat directly behind the captain for take-off and landing, but wanted more legroom for the transatlantic part...

Thanks for your comments.
