Today/Tonight's plane is ... well, it's a bit more difficult, and honestly, I've not heard of this mob before.

I believe an Airbus A320 but not sure and not a clue about operator.

[Rob8891]

How about this one for just aircraft model? Sorry if you just read the URL you will get the model but I am a novice at posting images.

De Haviland Comet..... You beat me to it...I had just found a pic to show the mods what an early jet REALLY looks like.

As an aside, isn't it great to see so many mods not following the op..... Mods off topic????? Surely not!

Mmmmmmmm back to the drawing board

[David48]

Maybe an DC-9-10 as a first guess?

... though the ailerons don't match?

No idea about the owner.

Sorry no cigar

[tw25rw]

^^ All the 'What Plane is this' photos submitted by me are those recorded at the Farm where I am staying and flying into Suvarnabhumi Airport.

If anyone is near the Don Muang or any other Thai;and Airport ... please do post for the quiz ...

.

Actually I meant the head on shot of the plane taking off.. Looks like a 737-100 or 200, but I couldn't work out anything else.

[Tywais]

But this man deserves a cigar! ... well done (assuming that he;s right) tw25rw

[RabC]

It's a BAC 1-11..

And the owner appears to be the Sultan of Oman (001).

Correct nearly. Its a Sultan of Omans Airforce BAC1-11 Number 551 (Arabic Numerals 0 is . and 5 is 0, closest approximation on a western keyboard)

Sorry tw25rw your first call.

Some really good 'out of the box' thinking there ... but sadly, I don't have a T-Shirt for you.

Some closer photos ...

and

Originals, so no use searching through Google ...

What aircraft featured these teardrop shaped windows?

[tw25rw]

It's a caravelle.

[cdnvic]

Along with the above Caravelle, one of the most elegant airliners ever built, in my opinion.

[tw25rw]

The RAF still fly VC10s. They are popular at airshows.

[RabC]

First ever "Long Haul" aircraft I flew in

[David48]

I had to get the 'Artist's Impression' to see the teardrop windows mentioned above ...

.

[krisb]

Lear jet, no idea which model.

Not your lift back home is it David?

Gee, turbo props. What year was that you flew?

[David48]

#005

OK ... back to simple again.

I didn't get a front on photo because it was an afternoon shot and the planes 'drops' out of the sun.

Have to say ... really impressive to watch this bird land.

Nope ... it was in response to posts #81 and 83 above ... just wanted to get a look at the plane mentioned with the tear drop windows.
