Just spotted the Viscount. I wonder which one it was and where it came from...

It would appear to be C/N 338, ex Lufthansa, Condor, BMA and others.
Still wears 'Hot Air' titles, quite appropriate given it's current role at a Fire School!
I always thought the Viscount looked smart in BMA livery, would look better if it was still in that

I didn't get close to it as you had to be escorted everyone once onto the fireground. From a distance it didn't look very well at all.

Nice shots Rob

I found out the subtle differences when painting the little tinkers. Easy peasy.. they're all the same.. NOT!

Yellow winglets, blue winglets, half yellow/half blue winglets, half blue/half check winglets e t c

Nice to see you getting some air time mate

Isnt East mids a P2? I only ask as I recall when we bought G-WMAO it was at the same time as East Mids cab and the spec was pretty much identical...

Whoops, it is you're right
NMID and SURY are both T2's.
I saw the photo's of what happened to your old aircraft, sad stuff.
