Nice shots Rob. Due to the unusual colour scheme on G-BPLA I did a little investigating and found that, just four years later she became EI-CKQ of Ryanair. During her long life she served with the following airlines as:

PH-TVU Transavia
PH-TVU Aerolineas Argentinas
C-FCAV Canadian AL Int lsd
PH-TVU KLM
G-BPLA Britannia AW lsd
G-BPLA Transavia
EI-CKQ Ryanair

She was eventually scrapped at Bournemouth in 2004. Here she is (in the first link) with EI-CKR and the second, how she looked in 2008.

She would appear to be taking a long time to die or has CKQ gone altogether?

Great shots to go with great memories, bit of course nobody walking along the piers to look down into the cockpits and watch the pilots preparing for their flights

When was that sad day when the piers closed to spectators?
