Who are Southern Winds?
Magnificient looking B747-200 ex-BA parked at Filton currently.
Is this a real airline or fiction for a film etc.?
As driving I didn t cop the number but it was G-BDX?

Colours were like Atlas Air, blue/yellow/white with black titiles.

Parked behind it was a corporate B767-300.

Sorry, couldnt get numbers as behind the wheel..

I may be wrong, but I heard a month ago or so that AAI was leasing them a B747.

Looks like it was G-CCMA then according to airliners.net, ex CX & VS with RR engines. Its soooo difficult to spot reg numbers when driving. Need an assistant!

BUT.......
G-CCMA is a bournmouth based European charter 747-200, so what is going on. I am sure though that ccma is an ex. Virgin.

P.s. the responce to the last post, that is why I use my dad to go around with, well thats what parents are for are they not.
