History... This aircraft was delivered to the Rank Leisure Group and leased to Novair International Airways as G-BOPK in Mar-89. It was only in service for 1 year until the company closed down at the end of Mar-90. Sold to a leasing company by The Rank Leisure Group, it was stored until it was leased to Air Europe in Dec-90.
Unfortunately, Air Europe ceased operations in Mar-91 and the aircraft was repossessed and again stored until Nov-91 when it was leased to US private airline, Mark Air as N689MA.
It was returned to the lessor in May-94 and leased to Futura International the following month with the temporary registration EC-655, becoming EC-FYG in Aug-94. It was sub-leased to AMC Aviation, Egypt during the 1995/96 winter season as SU-SAA. It returned to Futura in May-96 with another temporary registration, EC-309, becoming EC-GHF in July-96.
There was a repeat performance with AMC Aviation for the 1996/97 winter season, this time as SU-SAB. By the time it returned to Futura in Mar-97 the Spanish Government had finally done away with temporary registrations and it became EC-GNC.
In Oct-98 Futura leased it to Aer Lingus as EI-CRC, they operated it for Ryan International Airlines in the USA until Apr-99 when it was returned to Futura, this time as EC-HCP. At that time Futura were in a partnership with Pegasus Airlines, Turkey and shared a common livery.
The Aer Lingus/Ryan International winter season deal was repeated in 1999/2000 as EI-CRC and the aircraft returned to Furura in May-00 with yet another different registration, EC-HME. In Jan-01 it was sub-leased to Transbrazil for 3 months as PT-TDH.
On its return in Apr-01 it was returned to the lessor and immediately leased to Aer Lingus, again as EI-CRC, and sub-leased to Futura for the 2001 European summer season. It was again returned to Aer Lingus for the 2001/02 winter season sub-lease to Ryan International. It was sub-leased to Futura again in Apr-02 and re-registered EC-IFN the following week.
It was returned to Aer Lingus and the lessor at the end of Apr-03 and leased to Islandsflug as TF-ELD. Islandsflug were merged into Air Atlanta Icelandic in Jan-05. In Feb-05 it was operated for Blue Line, France. It returned to Air Atlanta and the lessor in Nov-05 as N412CT.
In Jan-06 it was leased to Aegean Airlines as SX-BGX for 3 years. In Apr-09 it was sold to Jordan Aviation as JY-JAP. The aircraft was wet-leased to Bouraq Air Transport (Libya) Jun-09 and returned to Jordan Aviation in Oct-10. in Apr-16 it was wet-leased to Fly Baghdad (Iraq), returning to Jordan Aviation in Nov-16.
The aircraft was wet-leased to Al-Naser Wings (Iraq) in Jan-18 and returned to Jordan Aviation in Jun-18. It was permanently retired at Amman in Jan-20 after 31 years in service.

Poblado So Na Caçana
Este centro ceremonial parecía que podía corresponder a un poblado hasta que se emprendieron unas excavaciones que revelaron unas cuantas sorpresas. En primer lugar, se descubrió que en el "poblado" hay dos recintos de taula o santuarios, cosa única en la isla. De esto se puede deducir que, más que un asentamiento, esto debía ser un centro religioso correspondiente a más de una comunidad. Los dos santuarios (o recintos de taula) están bien caracterizados, uno al Este y uno al Oeste de un gran monumento central parecido a un talayot. Adosadas a la base de este monumento, se encontraron una serie de habitaciones que, como suele ser habitual, son algo posteriores.
El monumento central podría haber sido considerado un talayot, pero tiene varias diferencias, lo que nos deja con la duda de si realmente se trata de uno. La más importante es que, de acuerdo con las alineaciones de las pilastras de la taula "Oeste," el monumento central fue construido con posterioridad al santuario, puesto que, una vez construido, el santuario quedó inservible para las observaciones astronómicas del levante (salidas de sol, luna, etc.) Sin embargo, cuando se empezaron a construir los santuarios de taula tal como los conocemos ahora, ya había pasado la época de la construcción de talayots (talayótico inicial). Quizás se deba a eso la existencia de un segundo santuario a pocos metros (la taula "Este"), aunque también esto resulta extraño.
El santuario "Este" está bastante destruido: de la piedra soporte de la taula queda un trozo que no llega a un metro de altura, y lo mismo ocurre con la pilastra exenta. Ninguna pared del recinto conserva una altura que supere 1,5 m. y, además hay varias paredes más modernas que separan el santuario en varias "habitaciones" diferentes, lo que hace bastante difícil apreciar en conjunto el recinto entero. Sin embargo, a pesar de que el santuario no está en unas condiciones muy buenas, tampoco es de los peores y, cosa poco habitual, se conserva íntegra la piedra capitel de la taula, caída cerca de la piedra soporte.
El santuario "Oeste", adosado al monumento central, está en mejores condiciones. Conserva todo su perímetro interior, sus pilastras, su pilastra exenta, sus nichos en las paredes, e incluso algunas de sus pilastras conservan los capiteles que las rematan. La piedra soporte está casi entera, y tiene una pilastra que la apoya por la parte trasera. Este caso es poco habitual, pero no único: un ejemplo es la taula de Torre Trencada. Igualmente, la pilastra extenta está compuesta de dos elementos verticales.
Unos metros m'às hacia el Oeste, nos encontramos con otro posible talayot, con restos de otras construcciones adosadas a él, pero todo este conjunto es menos monumental que la parte central.

Not a good photo, but the temperature was -45C in blowing ice crystals and I was wearing thick gloves...
This was the delivery flight of G-BOPK on it's fuel stop at Frobisher Bay (now renamed Iqaluit) in north eastern Canada. The temperature here was -45C with blowing ice crystals. No one told us that we shouldn't drop the airstairs in such conditions, so we did! When we came to leave 50 minutes later they were frozen solid. Ten minutes later, after a local engineer had given them a good battering with a rubber hammer, we managed to get them retracted. Unfortunately it didn't do them a lot of good. When we arrived at London-Gatwick they jammed halfway down and wouldn't move. This was embarrassing as there was a VIP party of Directors and Senior Managers waiting to greet us and they had to stand out on the ramp for a while until a set of steps arrived for the rear door!

First flown with the Boeing test registration N1790B, this aircraft was delivered to The Rank Organisation and leased to Novair International Airways as G-BOPJ in Apr-89, this aircraft operated until the owners, Rank Leisure, pulled the plug on 31-Mar-90 (I was Cal Air & Novair Base Manager at Manchester!).
It was returned to The Rank Organisation and sold to a lessor in May-90. It was immediately leased to British Midland Airways. It was re-registered G-OBMN in Nov-91 and continued in service with BMA until Dec-97 when it was returned to the lessor.

I popped into the V&A today to have a quick look at the photography gallery and came across room 46B which is currently under restoration.
The painting behind the statues is a full-size copy of the famous fresco the School of Athens painted by Raphael in 1508 in the Vatican. This copy by Anton Raphael Mengs was commissioned by the Duke of Northumberland in 1749 and represents the ancient knowledge of the most famous philosophers with in the centre Plato and Aristotle whose doctrines would dominate the Western thought from Antiquity up to the late 17th century. The painting was originally on display in the long gallery of Northumberland House in London. Destroyed in 1874, the painting was transferred in his new residence, 2 Grosvenor Place, before being given to the museum in 1926.
I don't know who the statues are by. I love the positioning of the two smaller ones......I wonder what they are saying to each other....

The plaster cast of Michaelangelo's David stands newly scrubbed and brushed up in the Cast Court of the V&A Museum in London.
He was first brought to the South Kensington Museum (fore-runner of the V&A) in 1857 after he had been presented to Queen Victoria by the Grand Duke of Tuscany. When the Queen first saw the statue in the museum she was so shocked by the sight of his male parts that a fig leaf was made to cover them up on any future royal visits.
