All black MD-83

[SpringHeeledJack]

Passing through LGW last thursday i spied an all black MD-83 sitting on a remote stand. It reminded me of the Playboy DC-9 of yesteryear. It looked like it had a 'P' or 'B' on the tail written in italic style. Who does it belong to ?

Blueline don't have an all black DC-9, so it was probably the World Cup Coca Cola F-GMLU ex G-PATA which is (obviously) black and red.

It is the Blueline MD83 F-GMLU, which is now all black with the "B" on the tail.
Repainted in NWI a few days back.

Hope that APU is reliable this summer.:E

Thanks for the replies, that's a nice looking bird, almost sexy :ok: I don't suppose the colour would do many favours to the aircraft once the summer sun kicks in, like someone said the old APU better be fit :}
