MY FRIEND MATT VISITED TOULOUSE : SEE HIS PHOTOGRAPHS HERE

Toulouse this week taken by my friend Matt . Heat haze was a particular problem for photography, but he managed to top up his sunburn at least! Happy to share this for him. Enjoy

Airbus in Toulouse is involved in both commercial and defence aviation. They have several sites around the city including:

The Airbus Training Centre which provides training for airlines on Airbus jetliners.

If you are ever in Toulouse, you can visit the Airbus facilities and learn more about their aircraft manufacturing process.

Airbus is a leading European aerospace manufacturer headquartered in Toulouse, France. The city is nicknamed "La Ville Rose" or "The Pink City" due to the terracotta brick used in many of its buildings.

Toulouse is considered the world capital of aeronautics and is home to a significant portion of Airbus's workforce.

There are also several museums in Toulouse dedicated to aviation history, including Aeroscopia.

Airbus Beluga (A300-600ST):

This is the original Beluga, a specialized wide-body airliner derived from the Airbus A300. It has a distinctive bulbous upper fuselage that earned it the nickname "Beluga" after the white whale due to its resemblance.

Five Beluga aircraft were built and first introduced in 1995. Their primary function is to transport Airbus aircraft parts and oversized cargo between various Airbus production sites across Europe. The Beluga fleet is being progressively replaced by the larger Beluga XL.

Inflight 200 Varig Boeing 767-300 PP-VOK Scale 1/200 IF763VR0621

I used to see the Varig DC-10 land at Heathrow back in the day. Heathrow was a long two hour bus ride from Crawley in Sussex. It was well worth the wait as my first time I went to Heathrow was 1974.

You had favorite planes and airlines as spotters do today. One of mine was Varig and loved seeing the DC-10 arrive late afternoon around 4pm. I used to leave it til it started getting dark then dash back to catch the bux back. I remember we stopped at Gatwick and that seem so quiet to Heathrow. Just the odd Laker or British Caledonian One Eleven parked up. I remember seeing a Dan Air Comet take off on an evening flight as we drove past. Those were the days and today it seems so samy and boring.

Inflight 200 Varig Boeing 767-300 PP-VOK Scale 1/200 IF763VR0621

Here's a breakdown of the details of this model.

Manufacturer: Inflight 200
Airline: Varig (no longer operating)
Airplane Model: Boeing 767-300
Registration Number: PP-VOK
Scale: 1/200
Product Code: IF763VR0621

Inflight 200 Varig Boeing 767-300 PP-VOK Scale 1/200 IF763VR0621

This model appears to be somewhat sought after by aviation enthusiasts, as the real Varig airline is no longer operating.

Pre-Painted: It is pre-painted in the Royal Canadian Air Force livery, featuring the correct colors and markings.
Landing Gear: Includes landing gear that can be positioned for landing configuration.
Rolling Gears: It has rolling rubber tires on the landing gear, allowing collectors to taxi the model on a flat surface for a more interactive experience. However is not a toy and should not be played with.
Display Stand: The model includes a display stand for convenient presentation on a shelf or in a collection.

Overall:

This model would be a great addition for collectors interested in the Royal Canadian Air Force, military aircraft, Airbus CC-330 Husky or A330-200 aircraft, or 1/200 scale airplane models in general.

A BUSY WEEKEND MAYBE IT THE RAIN HERE IN THE UK

Or maybe it the NEW Gemini jets and Gemini 200 models we have listed. It does not stop there now I am listing the NEW Inflight 200 models.

SEE THEM ON OUR WEBSITE

My favourites is the Olympic 747. I have never managed to see this in service one of those that escaped my logbook. When i went to Greece in 2018 I did see the DASH 8 in these colours. And in 1999 I saw a Olympic 737-200 in Crete doing the Athens hop. Alas it was very dark and early morning 4am on our way home, and my camera was packed away in the suitcase. Never do that these days. No phones mobile phones then of course.

The rest will be listed on Sunday at Airspotters.com

SEE THEM ON OUR WEBSITE
