September 4, 201312 yr Just been to tenerife for two weeks, seems like I just missed the 777 release. But anyway I realised something on my return flight yesterday. That is that I should always bring the camera. Usually I film the takeoffs and landings but up until now I have never really done anything with the recordings. So this time I decided to leave the camera at home and enjoy the holiday more, (well I took a stills only DSLR). Anyway two things that I missed photo opportunity's of. First was the new Monarch A320 with sharklets which I didn't even know had been delivered. Saw that pull into the parking space next to us as we were taxiing off. Second rather big thing was that I missed the Thomson 787 Dreamliner.... TWICE. First on the outbound flight and then more unusually on the inbound. The 787 was in Tenerife Sur which I thought was unusual. Not an official flight listing so could anyone give me some more info as to why it was there?
