Real or Fake? (may have been done before not too sure)

Sorry if this is the wrong forum guys, and I'm not trying to drag up a whole debate on BA038, but I found this picture on Google while searching for a picture of a BA 777, and I was amazed (in that horrifying way) when I found this...



Is this real or fake people?? It looks like it could be real but who knows? Anyone shine a light on this? Please guys just discuss the image not the events, It's got its own thread for that

Cheers!

Wow! Right place, right time (at least for the snapper), I thought it was too 'good' to be true but you guys seem pretty convinced it's real?

p.s munster I'm not sure the mods would allow such perversions to grace this forum

more than likely to be fake. It somebody had taken this at the time this picture would have been sold to all the news agencies at the time. Dont seem to remember seeing this one at the time.

The snapper sold the copyright to one of the papers and bought a new lens for his camera. Have a look on airliners.net

He was as happy as larry about it all. he sold serveral of his pictures.

Red face Where then?

Allright, any suggestions as to where we can then find the pic?

I searched on airliners.net and found nothing. Is it me or is the pic gone?

I'm guessing your PC setup may be the problem Ramrise - the pic is still visible above and on the provided link.

Can you see any other pictures on the forum?

You are aware that they are hosted externally I presume?

i'm guessing it'll be a corporate proxy or some local software on the PC blocking the remote site
