ZE700, British Aerospace 146-100 Statesman CC2, Royal Air Force, on final approach to Dundee Riverside, 13th January 1995.

I was walking back into the city centre to get a coach to Aberdeen when this went past, and I had to go back and grab some photos of it on the ground,, which meant that I nearly missed my coach!

On This Day 24th August 2015.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly, and blue "Kabo Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, between the upper and lower deck cabin windows. A blue circle with a red outline is on the tail, with a stylised white lightning bolt (or possibly upper case letter "N") in the middle. A tall, grey lighting pole in the foreground partially obscures the tail-cone and tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with various white airport trucks and mobile airstairs gathered in the bottom right corner. Trees fill the background, under grey skies.

Side forward view of a single-engined, World War 2-era military fighter plane on display in a flying pose, suspended from the roof of a museum by heavy cables. The plane is covered in a green and grey camouflage scheme, with the belly and the underside of the wings in dark grey. ON the rear fuselage is a blue, white, and red roundel, outlined with a thin yellow stripe, with a white band around the fuselage just in front of the tail, overlaid with the black serial "R6915" A blue, white, and red square fin flash fills most of the front of the tail. IN the background, more exhibits can be seen lining the museums walls below the plane, while an elevated walkway above it ha several people walking past a series of busts on white plinths next to glass partitions under a hand rail. The walls are either bare brick, or painted white.
