<p> </p> <p> <p>That's <strong>G-BKWU </strong>in the background, BCAL's brand new<strong> Airbus A310, </strong>and in fron of that is my little blue car I used to run around the ramp. It was wreck but I cared less as a 21 year old with airside access and clearance to take pictures of planes. What a life.</p> <p>Note the rear air stairs on the 1-11 being lowered. This was an early morning departure for LGW. And this is why I'm a little hard of hearing. Those early jets made a lot more noise.</p> <p>photo and copyright<strong> Alastair Barbour</strong> at <strong>aceebee flickr</strong></p> <div style="font-weight: bold;"></div> </p>

This was part of a delivery proving flight, the first and last time an A310 visited EDI. The plane still had no seats in the passenger cabin and consequently when she departed took off in half the normal distance.

<p> <p>G-BKWU Airbus A310-203 British Caledonian Airways</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Rolling in at stupid o'clock in the morning BCAL's new Airbus A310 taxi's on to stand on a foggy March morning at EDI. I remember having to rest my Pentac ME Super on the roof of my car to steady the shot and even then it's a bit rough. From memory this was 1/30th at f2.8, so pushing it to stabilize the camera.</p> <p>BCAL just started to order Airbus equipment with A320s a twinkle in their eye, but started with A310s for a couple of years only. It was this action that gave rise to BA's acceptance of the Airbus when the aquired the BCAL fleet. BA where up until then Boeing buddies, but once they had a few 'Buses in the fleet it gave them the initiative to go with what is today one of the largest A320 fleets.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: left;">photo and copyright</span><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> Alastair Barbour</strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> at </span><strong style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align: left;">aceebee flickr</strong></p> </p>
