Is it the remains of the one they broke up for filming of an aircrash on a motorway, several years ago, for a medical series? Was filmed on what is now the M60, between Ashton-u-Lyne and Daisy Nook, before the motorway opened. On another point of order, why is there not a picture of the Easy 320 G-EZTC, flying me home to Malaga yesterday?

I've got this as G-AVFG Trident 2E, Serial No. 2146.
It was definately used in some medical programme on the M60 as Buspilot says, this is why it acquired the current paint scheme.

Wow! Thanks guys, what a history. Lets hope she's around for many years to come. Buspilot. Unfortunately, it didn't come my way as the runway use changed from 23R to 23L. Here's the only shot I got of her just after she was pushed back. It was taken from the hotel beer garden which explains the added greenery. Hope she gave you a pleasant flight. Steve

Thanks Steve.
Departed at 07.16. On stand, engines shut down AGP at 10.40 ..all times local.
That's just 2 hours 24 mins.........30 mins ahead of schedule.
My bag was 5th on the carousel...outside waiting for my lift at 11.05, five minutes before we should have landed.
