Hi folks,
Its been all over the news here locally. Manchester City's new Airbus A330.
A new deal worth silly money with Etihad Airways and MCFC sees the stadium renamed.
Football money is just crazier than ever.

On the flip side its good to see an aircraft painted in an unusual and one off livery.
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.

Don't mind the colour but I am surprised the CAA don't! Air UK had to repaint their all-blue aircraft to have white tails otherwsie they were too well camouflaged against a blue sky for safety reasons. This aircraft is even more sky blue

I well remember the CAA directive to increase the white on Air UK...hence the white fin and lowering of the blue line, yet BMA had a worse overall blue livery, later darkened and nothing was said about that.
