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

MKY661 9th Feb 2013 19:28

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 14th Feb 2013 18:52

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 17th Feb 2013 20:44

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 18th Feb 2013 11:54

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

Grahamy 18th Feb 2013 14:52

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

MKY661 18th Feb 2013 15:33

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

G-OOBP is in for paint.

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

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 20th Feb 2013 20:07

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.

Thanks.

wowk 20th Feb 2013 20:19

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.

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 21st Feb 2013 13:12

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?

nsherrin15 23rd Feb 2013 08:59

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 23rd Feb 2013 18:11

Naw !
 
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 23rd Feb 2013 18:46

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 23rd Feb 2013 18:55

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 23rd Feb 2013 19:44

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

nsherrin15 24th Feb 2013 17:49

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

Could you repost the web address please, the one showing does not work.

I'm not sure which one is being painted next, but there are currently none at Norwich. There is a chance one could be getting painted at Manchester though as some have been painted there. :)

Oh dear, once again there is a change in the scheme, no "thomson.co.uk" on the engines :ugh:

MKY661 12th Mar 2013 22:06

Only G-TAWK and G-TAWL have the thomson.co.uk on the engines. I would imagine they will be removed in due course.
