Remarks: Delivered new to BA Connect in 2001, this ERJ is now under Flybe ownership but is still operating pending standardization of the Flybe fleet within the next couple of years. This one is seen departing BHX Runway 15. The passenger in the fifth window from the back is defiantly holding a cigarette – or is it a pen…? (400D, Sigma 80-400 & fluid-head tripod)
Remarks: One of the BA Connect ERJs caught in a pool of sunlight as it turns onto the end of Birmingham’s Runway 33 for an evening departure. Across the apron (out of shot) a sister ERJ has had its BA tail markings and titles removed in preparation for disposal following the acquisition of the airline by Flybe. The fleet will be sadly gone by the end of 2009. (400D, anti-shake Sigma 80-400 & fluid-head tripod)
