So some plane spotting from my Rydges office-top floor,middle room.

Personally I like the look of the 717-

The little fellow intrudes on the big boys but they are out of the way very quickly.

Not everything you see leaving is a plane.

My first jet flight was on a DC 9 - that morphed into the 717.

Seas a little rough today, but some decent sets rolling in across Bate Bay.

Some hardy riders off Oak Park.

Not my office, but SWMBO's office, Middle Beach Lodge, Tofino, Vancouver Island. It must be photoshopped, because it's not raining.

Also to be in that part of the world and to not be able to eat shellfish!

BA FLounge LHR T5. As good a way as any to reintroduce food into my body after a day of ... not introducing food to it.

Next stop, Delhi. 173 seats not sold so a nice empty flight.

My office for the day.

Had a chat to the captain and first officer in the lift coming up to the C gates, they mentioned it's a longer route atm due to having to fly around Pakistan air space.

It's a pretty old bird but at least the legroom looks OK. I can manage with this for a daytime flight... been a long time since I've done long haul Y!

28B for me. Legroom and elbow space, I'm sure I'll survive

It's character building, right?

And on our way to the runway... BA retro livery.

Brings back memories.

Back in the day when BA flew PER-xSIN-LHR codesharing QF and I travelled whY, I had good success in snaring my favourite 29A. Flying SYD-LAX on a QF B747 did not offer that option as they didn't configure that row with just two seats. It was one of the few things I've ever liked about BA.

It seems once onboard BA didn't think I actually would survive doing longhaul Y, so they swapped my office for this
