 EI-DEO Airbus A320
in Aer Lingus retro colours
at 17.10.
 British Airways Airbus A380
G-XLEB
arriving at 16.58.
I think the 380 looks like a toy
in BA colours.
 I don't usually like Boeing shaped aircraft
since the 707 and 727
so the 787 is a nice surprise.
BA's Boeing 787 G-ZBJF
wears there colour quite nicely.
I am not a fan of
Iberia's new colour scheme.
