New Thomson Livery

[MKY661]

Hello. I have created a New Thomson Livery thread so people in The normal Thomson thread don't have to complain about livery posts.

Here is the new livery:
http://worldairlinenews.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/thomson-787-800-12fltthompsonlr.jpg?w=606

It is due to be painted on one of the 767's this week, which one I dont know.

[TCX69]

It is due to be painted on one of the 767's this week, which one I dont know.

My guess would be G-OOAN as it's been out of service since 01Apr.

Rather disappointed TOM have decided to introduce the new livery onto a 767 instead of with the delivery of the first 787! All of the recent 737's that have been delivered in the now old livery aswell :ugh:

[NEastMidlands]

I believe its G-OBYG

I dont think but i could be wrong that any of the ex FCA 767's are being repainted.

G-OOAN has indeed been out of service from 1st April for cabin refitting

[MKY661]

I thought only two ex FCA's were going. G-DBLA & G-PJLO.

I wonder if all the TUI companies will get the new livery or if its just Thomson. If its all of them wonder what it looks like in Yellow.

[NEastMidlands]

I know around November last year the two LA/LO were going but has this not been extended due to the 787 delays, the LA has only just been refurbished interior wise. As far as i can see there are no plans to reduce flights in June and August.

[MKY661]

All of the recent 737's that have been delivered in the now old livery aswell :ugh:

There is another one due at the beginning of May. Wether it will be in the new colurs im not sure but if I had to guess I would unfortunately say no.

[Wardie73]

Saw something at Air Livery today......:ok:

Thomson B767-304ER/W G-OBYG | Flickr - Photo Sharing! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/paul82/6982059678/)

Is Indeed G-OBYG. Wonder when the next one will be? Looking great I'll tell you that :)

[AndoniP]

i can't say it's significantly different than what they have or what is out there already. horrid typeface, horrid logo, same wavy lines along the fuselage as BMI, it's all a bit 'meh' imo. :sad:

[clipstone1]

the typeface/font is TUItype - as it has been since 2001/2.....

[EGAC is Better]

The livery on the 767 is different than the one depicted on the 787. Check the tail colour.

Cut off the tail on the 767 and the livery is good in my opinion, however the TUI blue tail is too light to be placed there and clashes with the dark blue below. I dont get why they sandwich dark blue between the two light blue sections, it ruins the overall look.

It could easily be improved by extending the dark blue into the tail to provide a better flow in the colour changes from dark to light. That would obviously be against the brand mark though.

The TUI Belguim livery on OO-TUC Jetair - TUI Airlines Belgium Boeing 767-341(ER) - Planespotters.net Just Aviation (http://www.planespotters.net/Aviation_Photos/photo.show?id=244864) is a million times better than the bland one tone blue flying around today and would be great on the 787.

[Groundloop]

The livery on the 767 is different than the one depicted on the 787. Check the tail colour.

The 787 is only an artist's impression. No doubt when it finally arrives it will have the same coloured fin as the 767. After all, that fin colour is Thomson/TUI's trademark colour on all their travel agencies.

[EGAC is Better]

After all, that fin colour is Thomson/TUI's trademark colour on all their travel agencies

:ok: as I noted a little further down in my post. They should have hired the artist who painted the 787 because the tail looks a million times better :)

[MKY661]

Found some pics of Thomson planes in the new livery on FSX for the 737 and 757. Looking good:

[Alex757]

Looks lovely IMO.

Would love to see it on a 757 ... bet it looks great

[SCANDIC]

Who will the First choice 767's go to in winter plus some of the 757's.

[NEastMidlands]

i suspect they may well go to no-one going on age alone.

[Chappers.]

I was informed a couple of years ago by a good source that none of the ex-FCA 767's are going to be repainted as they are all due to (eventually) be replaced by the 787 - they are also older than the TOM airframes.

G-DBLA & G-PJLO are leased from a different company and were due to be "retired" some time ago, but the leases have been extended due to the delays delivering the Dreamliner. This is also why they are the only two that have not been fitted with winglets.

[BN2A]

Repainting G-OBYG

:ok:

[MKY661]

Wonder what will be next to get repainted? Im sure we will se some more when the new 737's arrive this winter.

[Local Variation]

There was a Thomson 737 in the BMI hanger at East Mids today in the new livery.

'OO-.... was the reg as we toodled past.

[MKY661]

Unless its off to Jetairfly

[Local Variation]

Didn't get much of a look, but it was defo a 737.

[oldbalboy]

OO left fleet in spring last 737-300 OP leaves in october?? the new livery is for UK based Thomson a/c only at his time & doubt Jetair would take an old 300 as they are 700/800 operator.

[Hotel Tango]

Why is it that so many spotters and even professional aviation people don't seem to know the difference between hangar and hanger? I've even seen it in official NTSB publications!

[MKY661]

OO left fleet in spring last 737-300 OP leaves in october?? t

He meant that the reg began with OO- like Jetairfly planes do as they are from Belgium. Sorry if I confused you and hope that sums everything up! :)

[airsmiles]

OO-VAC positioned EMA to Belgium this morning so this might be the one that was seen recently in the hangar.

[MKY661]

OO-VAC has the new livery for Jetairfly. If I could make it bigger I could. Downloaded a big pic of it on Paint and tried to add it but turns out you can't.:

[oldbalboy]

so its going group wide!

[Burnie5204]

Oh how I hate the light blue colour on the vert. stab...

It's not even the same colour as the blue used on the bodywork on the current scheme let alone the new one.

[BN2A]

Obviously the budget didn't stretch that far.....

:rolleyes:

[fustall]

Good video,loved it:ok::ok::cool:

[TCX69]

First 757 G-OOBH in New Colours

Skyliner states it was ferried BHX-NWI-BHX 1-6Nov. Is this correct? Thought it took a lot longer to fully repaint a B757! Data24 shows it routing CWL-NWI-BHX on the same dates.

Any more repainted lined up?

[Evanelpus]

This is one of the nicest new liveries a British airline has introduced in decades.:D

[MKY661]

I have a feeling the next one to get the new colour scheme will be the next 737 to be delivered, G-TAWK, due on 20th November at Manchester

[TSR2]

This is one of the nicest new liveries a British airline has introduced in decades

Well dated in my opinion. Shades of BMI.

[boeing_eng]

Well dated in my opinion. Shades of BMI.

Well if its dated then bring back more of these "dated" colour schemes!:hmm:

Its far better than the minimalist predominantly white paint jobs so common these days (and there wont be many who disagree its an improvement on the old Thomson cols!)

[MKY661]

G-FDZA now in New Scheme:
http://nikfrenchphotos.********.co.uk/2012/11/man-12th-november-2012-g-fdza-first.html

Think G-TAWK will follow shortly as well. Not sure about being painted though

[boeing_eng]

G-TAWK and everything delivered new from now on will be in the new colours

[MKY661]

G-TAWK was delivered to Thomson today. It arrived in Manchester this morning from Seattle.

Thomson's first B787 is also under going final assembly according to this website.
http://nyc787.********.ie/

Part's are also arriving for Thomson's second B787 G-TUIB. :ok:

[TCX69]

Just found two picture's of G-TAWK.

Already inconsistencies in the livery I see! :ugh:

"Thomson.co.uk" on the engines
Slightly bigger "Thomson" titles
Aircraft type underneath registration as apposed to next to it
Old style registration typeface

Looks like G-OOBA has gone in for paint:

G-OOBD has also gone in for paint. :)

[G-TYNE]

G-CPEU flew Leeds-Norwich this morning. Another one for the new colours maybe?

[MKY661]

Yeah I think so it's gone in for Paint.

On a side note G-OOBD in new colours:

G-BYAY also in for paint. They trying to get all the 757's done or something?

[oldbalboy]

I think the plan is to paint as many of the 14 x 757 they plan to keep after 2013 painted as quickly as possible, same will also happen to the 737's ! we've had a mix of liveries for more than 5 years since the merger its time to have just one which the European group is also adopting.

[Grahamy]

The 757's look really smart in their new livery, but they need the thomson.co.uk painted on the engine covers like the 738's, it just looks like theres something missing.

[TCX69]

The 757's look really smart in their new livery, but they need the thomson.co.uk painted on the engine covers like the 738's, it just looks like theres something missing.

Only the new, recently delivered 738`s have the website address on the engines. The 738`s repainted in the UK don`t have it. The aircraft type markings are in a different place too. :ugh:

[G-TYNE]

OOBP's the next one in, flies BHX - NWI tonight.

[Grahamy]

Are any of the remaining 767's due in for painting..?

[MKY661]

No I don't think so because they will all be gone by 2015. I may be wrong like.

[MKY661]

G-BYAY in New Colours:

G-OOBP is in for paint.

[LBIA]

the most recently painted G-BYAY positioned from Norwich up to Leeds this morning.

[boeing_eng]

The 757's look really smart in their new livery, but they need the thomson.co.uk painted on the engine covers like the 738's, it just looks like theres something missing.

The problem has been that in the past the Thomson decals on the RB211's have peeled and started looking tatty after contact with the various engine fluids.

It seems they have been deleted on the new cols machines.

[flyingants]

Hi , I am new to the forum , just thought i would share a pic of G-BYAY sat on stand yesterday prior to her departure to leeds this morning.

G-BYAY Boeing 757-204/W | Flickr - Photo Sharing! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/55198703@N02/8489621677/in/photostream)

Thanks.

Matt.

[wowk]

I personally think the "thomson.co.uk" looks a bit tatty and more of a low cost market advertising niche. I can remember Thomsonfly having "Thomson" on the RB211's on the 75's. However i think it would be nice if Thomson had the Rolls Royce badge/decal on the RB211's like FCA did, mind you the general electric decal is on the new 787's G-TUIA+G-TUIB.

[MKY661]

Ive seen your pics on Flickr and they are very good. Welcome to the forum. :)

Also welcome to the forum to you too wowk :)

[VC10man]

I would also like the RR logo on the 757 engines, it always reassured me when travelling on one.
When these 757s are painted at Norwich is any service work done on them?

[MKY661]

G-TAWM:
All sizes | Thomson G-TAWM | Flickr - Photo Sharing! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/smartjunco/8497041642/sizes/o/in/photostream/)

[nsherrin15]

Strangely, G-TAWM doesn't have the thomson.co.uk on the engines? Maybe thomson never wanted them on them it's something boeing just presumed they wanted?

[El Grifo]

Not impressed !!
Looks like it has been designed by a committee :ugh:

What a mess !!

As for that lumpen piece of rubbish, the Tui logo. I thought it lumpen when launched and it has just got worse with age :ugh:

[TCX69]

You`d think that all the aircraft would be painted/repainted into the new Thomson livery, as per instructions from Thomson. There doesn`t seem to be any consistency in the repainting though!

Website address on engines, or not
Aircraft type titles underneath registration, or beside it
Different sized `Thomson` titles
Different fonts for registration & aircraft type marks
White or blue tail registration marks

:ugh:

[El Grifo]

The livery looks like it has been scaled for the Dreamliner.

You know, that nightmare product from Boeing which will screw Thomson's long haul schedules later this year sadly. :ugh:

[Skipness One Echo]

It's evolving and tweaked as it comes into service. Less so than Monarch....

[nsherrin15]

G-OOBP ferried from NWI-MAN this morning. Does anybody know the next a/c in for spray?

Oops, indeed it was! ;) Thank you for that :D

[oldbalboy]

YD has left fleet & painted ready for delivery to Norwind.

[MikeyMoo]

I cant imagine ZR getting a new paint job anytime soon, the aircraft was transferred to sunwing about 3 years ago and now just ops temp leases back to the UK to cover the additional bases during the summer (DUB/BFS/EDI/LBA this year)

[TerrierMcD]

My thoughts too as its now C-FLZR with Sunwing.

[787Heaven]

Jethros shows two more 737-800 aircraft due for delivery next winter. Does anyone know whether these will be the final two deliveries? Or will there be a few more?

[Grahamy]

So this is Sunwings attempt. Hot New - Airliners Gallery. Aircraft Stock Images and Photos. Frameable Prints and Gifts. (http://airlinersgallery.smugmug.com/Airplanes/Hot-New/15372242_H6LDzK#!i=2331880294&k=MhnhLx2&lb=1&s=A)

Oh dear

[oldbalboy]

we are expecting more than 2 next winter :)

[mathers_wales_uk]

I'm taking this as an order for the B752 replacement and possible slight growth?

[oldbalboy]

An announcement re fleet replacement for 757/738 expected very soon, 5 more 757 leaving this winter to be replaced like for like by 738 + maybe a couple of extra's!

[TerrierMcD]

Can anyone at LBA get a photo of Sunwing C-FLZR and post it? Interested to see what livery it currently has.

Thanks

[jetstar.8]

There`s a photo of C FLZR on the DTV Movements pages website page for 7th of May
check Archive movments select May and click on the 7th Then click on registration for the Photo

[TerrierMcD]

OK cheers Jetstar.

[BN2A]

31st of May at Manchester to see the 787 in the new Tommy livery...

1st June at Newquay to see the 787 in the new Tommy livery!!!

:D

[rog747]

saw on a very sunny Saturday evening a BY 787 doing a few approaches and climb outs at low level at NQY around 1900...

guess doing touch and go's?

thought it was a 737 at first but it looked odd LOL
(Thomson's do a PMI flight now and again)

looked again and thought it's a bit big for a 738 and tail was all wrong,
then 767 crossed my mind...no...

then after the second climb out it dawned on me

787 lol!

[MKY661]

Thomson will repaint 25 aircraft this winter apparently :)

About time YF was painted, she's looked very sorry for herself the last couple of years.

Agreed! :) So does G-BYAT :)

I can confirm G-FDZY is in the dreamliner livery, seen a picture on Instagram which was posted from one of the staff at Air Livery in East Mids :)

I can confirm G-FDZY is in the dreamliner livery, seen a picture on Instagram which was posted from one of the staff at Air Livery in East Mids

Do you mind giving us a link? Still haven't seen any of G-FDZY which is why I've not given a link of it in the new colours yet :)

TOM7273 is a TFS-BHX flight number, also all positioning flights start TOM9***

[_IRL_Flyer]

-G-TAWK is postioning to Gatwick from Bournemouth tonight as TOM4646.

Thomson Flights ? all the assurances and service you?ve come to expect from Thomson - Flight departures (http://flights.thomson.co.uk/thomson/en-GB/departures/default?scheduledDepartureAirport=BOH&scheduledArrivalAirport=&flightNumber=)

It will operate TOM4646/7 LGW-SZG-LGW & TOM4662/3 LGW-CMF-LGW tomorrow and position back to BOH at 21.30 tomorrow night as TOM6716.

-G-OOBH also positioned from LGW-EDI on Tuesday using the call sign TOM7BT (TOM1442) G-OOBH operated Thomson Airways flight 1442 from Edinburgh to Lanzarote yesterday.

-Not all TOM's positioning flights use the call signs TOM9XXX. I have seen plenty of TOM positioning flights that have not used the TOM9XXX callsign.

BYAW getting it's winglets fitted??

:ok:

[_IRL_Flyer]

BYAW has indeed been fitted with winglets.

[jlake2212]

BYAW obviously not being WFU then, still BYAT was out for a month of so, if it hasn't been fitted with winglets maybe indicates it will be wfu as not currenly repainted

That's better, believe it will remain in service until end of 2018

[_IRL_Flyer]

G-TAWG should be rolled out in the new colours soon.

There are 10 a/c that have yet to be painted:

B738 G-FDZB - Currently on lease with SWG, should be painted when it returns
B738 G-FDZT
B738 G-FDZW
B738 G-FDZZ - Currently on lease with SWG, should be painted when it returns
B738 G-TAWA (can confirm TAWA is not yet painted in the new livery)
B738 G-TAWB
B738 G-TAWC
B738 G-TAWD
B738 G-TAWF
B738 G-TAWH

I'm not too sure what is happening with BYAT & G-BYAX.

Three 763's will be WFU by July; they are OOBL, OOBK & OOBM.

:ok: :ok:

I'm not too sure what is happening with BYAT & G-BYAX.

Nice shot :) Do you know who is due next? :)

[_IRL_Flyer]

G-TAWA is next. It's just about to arrive in Norwich from Gatwick.

B738 G-FDZU has to be painted into the new livery as well.

[jlake2212]

Aircraft Swap ALC this morning

EMA arr TOM7218 forming TOM6223 to CWL G-TAWR
CWL arr TOM6222 forming TOM3261 to DSA G-TAWB

G-TAWB then rtns as TOM3260 to form TOM7219 to EMA

G-TAWB next for EMA Paintshop??


Also can confirm G-TAWA has swapped at NWI for G-TAWG

[_IRL_Flyer]

TAWB should be painted soon. There are only 2 aircraft based in East Midlands for the winter TAWB is based in EMA along with FDZU. So another a/c would have to position to EMA to cover for TAWB or FDZU while there in the paint shop.

TAWA may position to EMA after it gets painted in the new livery to cover TAWB or FDZU if one of them is next into the EMA paint shop.

Thomson have for a lot of the time during the winter 2 daily flights or more from EMA. That means both a/c are in use. There isnt a lot of down time.

G-OOBF on Tours again Now, At Lagos this morning as TOM956

[BB34]

Hi
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if G-TAWD has gone in to paint yet as his last flight was 07-01-14 to Luton, this may sound like a daft question but this is my favourite plane and I'm curious as to where he's disappeared
Thanks in advance

[_IRL_Flyer]

G-TAWD is at LTN for maintenance. It should be back in service soon.

There's no paint shop at LTN. The TOM 738's are/have been painted in EMA & NWI. :ok:

[BB34]

Awesome! Thanks :)

[jlake2212]

slightly off topic but intresting, I see G-OOBM is working a TOM586 to BGI, from EXETER!! that's a new one for Exeter!

[rog747]

767 at EXT likely cruise ship charter

[BN2A]

Wouldn't exactly get in the way... Everything else could just taxi underneath it!!

:ok:

[rog747]

Britannia/Thomson have done a few 767 Caribbean cruise and xmas shopping NYC charters for years out of EXT and much more so from BOH - but sadly since Bath Travel has been swallowed up we see alot less of them -

P&O cruises are expanding the fly-cruise Caribbean from more smaller provincial airports though so watch out for more....

Cunard cruises use mainly chartered BA 767's out of LHR for their ship charters mainly to VCE FCO and ATH and use TOM 737's for Cunard flights out of MAN

some years ago Qantas 744's were chartered for cruise ship charters out of LHR
and I flew back from IST to LHR on one...but there were objections to Qantas using the 'downtime' of their 744's laying over during the day at LHR between the Oz flights so they stopped.

[_IRL_Flyer]

G-TAWC is next in for paint. It's currently en route to NWI from NCL. It should swap with G-TAWA.:ok:

TOM2628 MAN-VRN today being operated by 763 G-OOBM, unusual to see 763 on shorter rotation but no other 757 available but due to failure of G-OOBA at Bristol base after operating TOM6550 rotation to TFS yesterday, G-BYAY stepped up and ferried to BRS this morning as TOM9008. G-OOBA still at TFS at present

[shionhughes]

Hi been told by thomson that some of their 737 aircraft are to be fitted with extra legroom seats is their any truth in this as I am due to fly to Egypt later this year on one and extra legroom seats are available (not exit seats)

[Diverskii]

@jlake2212

What happened to G-OOBA at TFS?

[jlake2212]

No idea but G-OOBA positioned back to BRS empty yesterday -evening after it arrived at TFS, positioned to MAN this morning as TOM9009 so now Swapped with G-BYAY, now been swapped back 9/02/14 again with G-OOBA

[MikeyMoo]

With regards to 738 extra legroom, by 1st may all 738 will be reconfigured (no seats removed, just re-spaced) so row 3,4 & 5 (def) are extra legroom

I'm not sure if it's true but G-BYAX hasn't flown for a few days so maybe in for Paint? :)

[jlake2212]

Sorry to have to say this but

G-BYAX was WFU on 12th March at Manchester, was WFU after working TOM557
- surprised it wasn't G-BYAT to go first!!, But all is not lost,

G-TAWS the Next 737-800 is to be delivered to LTN on 27th March!!

Are the last 4 (?) 738's in old colours going to be painted in the new livery before the summer season starts in full?

[oldbalboy]

supposedly yes as once the last 2 x ex FCA 767 go in July they want whole fleet to be painted Dreamliner.

Thank youuuuuuu :)
He looks soooo pretty!!!

[TCX69]

So after G-FDZB that just leaves G-BYAT which is still in Thomsonfly livery and has no winglets. What's happening with it?

[jlake2212]

G-FDZZ has swapped with G-FDZB at EMA Paintshop which means all repaints are now completed.


G-TAWU has been delivered to LTN completing the 738 deliveries

G-FDZR has returned to LTN this afternoon as SWG9301

G-BYAT to be WFU TBC
G-OOBL to be WFU
G-OOBM to be WFU

[Diverskii]

C-FLZR is on her way back in to LTN as SWG9301

Wonder whether she'll be re-registered as G-FDZR this time?

[nsherrin15]

I think it will as a photo of it being pulled out of the EMA paintshop last November showed it wearing the reg 'G-FDZR'

[flyingants]

Hi all,


G-TAWB departed Norwich yesterday after spray into the Dreamliner C/S...
