Unrecognised BBJ today
 
Can anyone recognise this colour scheme on what was I beleive a Boeing BBJ. It routed over Southampton for Land's End at about 1.40pm today. Airnav reported the flight as '1595' but with no airline code or type.

Could scheme was mainly while with light/sky blue engines and the front of the fuselage was dark blue. The tail seemed to have both of the blue colours on it.

Just wondering as I had'nt seen this livery before.

Is there a pic ?

Unfortunately not - it was about FL340 I guess and trailing

Try MXA1595 XA-MXN
 
The paint job does make the B767 look a bit shorter, but at least its very distinctive.
:ok:

Did you get that info from SBS/ACARS or had you seen it before somewhere?

Low tech answer
 
I was cleaning the patio with 132.95 on as background "music"
Its probably the most distinctive colour scheme seen over Cornwall

BBJs have winglets anyway.

winglets
 
some 767s have winglets too

AircraftOperations 26th Sep 2009 21:22

But not this one (or any 762s to my knowledge).

My point being that he saw an aircraft which didn't have winglets, but thought it might have been a BBJ (which do all have winglets).
