Also Air France 747 F-GITB minus engines
and the triplets! Fokker F-27's of Farnair Europe, from left to right HA-FAH
In the middle, HA-FAD
and HA-FAF
Round to the new Lufthansa Training Facility to see if there is anything - only the 2 resident MK Ailrines 747's and the gaggle of Bae146's
And finally on the way out noticed C-47 Skytrain doing engine tests on the grass - a great sight, with clouds of smoke pouring out on start-up.
