Great pictures! One question though...what is the logo by the side of the forward passenger door? It looks really familiar, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is.

Isn't it the logo of the Royal Air Mail Service?

Looks pretty much so:

You've not been paying attention have you Dan. Davem said the fwd door not the aft door

Dave.. the logo fwd of the fwd door is the Queens Award for Industry

Just to clarify - at some point (late 70s / early 80s?) the logo incorporated either a "T" for technology or an "E" for export - the 146 acheived both! More recently the award has been supplanted by the Queen's award for Enterprise which is a stylised "e".

Ok Neil.

I've always known that logo to be the QAforI (or to be more precise.. 'A' QAforI) which covers a multitude of sins. As we're usually pedantic about detail here.. I accept that my nit has been picked.
