lubbkis Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Again, a nice simple one. Today's plane is ... . Try for the ... Airline Make and Model Also you might wish to try for the What Airport or Country the Plane took off from. Difficult to do but if you look at the photo's date stamp and correlate that with the Airport manifest then backtrack it ... for the enthusiast only ... Good Luck. . Looks more like an Airbus a318 than a 319 but I don't know the livery from that angle. The Malaysian A380 has those colours but is much much bigger.

As it was sunny in HK today I thought I might go over to Chek Lap Kok to get a snap, but it didn't show up on Flightradar24. It is going out of here about 11.25 AM most days, I think.

lubbkis Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 As for the Caledonian, it's a Bristol Brittania. You were probably flown to Kai Tak. I used to see the troop rotation VC10 at Kai Tak every Monday driving to my office in the 1980s. One day, I saw Concorde land and pulled over by the perimeter fence. The police pulled over and told me I'd parked illegally. I told them my taxes had paid for the development of Concorde. Remarkably, they waived the ticket.

Go to the top of the class and have a Cigar, yes a Bristol Britannia. Only as far as Akrotiri, was 7 hours plus though as in those days we couldn't overfly a lot of Europe in a military aircraft. I do also believe it was first leg of the trip that eventually ended in Kai Tak. Cyprus, Mazerah , Ghan, Singapore and then Hong Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Since today's plane has been successfully spotted, here is a clip from the other morning when we were up early harvesting the Prawns/Shrimp. No work permit required ... I was just the photographer ... Firstly 2 powered paraglyders flew directly over the Farm House, then the jet and the powered paraglyder were in the same frame (but that photo didn't work) and the plane flew directly over the pond ... hence the interesting angle at the end.
