Just a Bit of Fun

Post by Tomliner »

Whilst lookin through my scanned slides just now trying to find a particular pic,I came across these few and thought I'd set a little puzzle.Basically,what is it(type) and where is it.They are no great shakes photographically but that doesn't matter.I don't think they will tax any of you very much.
Bit of info,pics 1 and 2 were taken on the same flight(the temperature at the destination was about 15degrees C higher than at the departure at the time) and pic 3 was taken 2 years later going in the opposite direction.No prizes offered I'm afraid

Yes,The types are Saab340 and a 737 of Easyjet.Dave is correct in identifying Aberdeen and Business Express,but pic2 is on the downwind r/h leg to r/w 27 at East Mids(EGNX).The pic shows junction 25 on the M1 on the outskirts of Nottingham.The first two were taken in 1994 and the third pic 2 years later on a flight from Luton to Aberdeen.
As this was such an exciting puzzle :hide: I might have a little firtle through some again later on and maybe post a few more! :) EricT
Edit,could it be ice in the jet pipe? I would be surprised if it was.The temperature on the ground at EGNX was about 30C at the time.
