Remarks: Our last footsteps on Canadian ground was to this Air Canada Airbus A-330-300 C-GHKR, wich was our transportation from Calgary to London-Heathrow. I took this picture the day before we left at Calgary IAP, when this Airbus was lineing up the runway for the Air Canada flight from Calgary to Frankfurt ( Germany ). |
 |
Location: Amsterdam, Holland.
Remarks: This little Airbus A-319 belonging to bmi flewn us from Brussels to London-Heathrow and back. The G-DBCD was the one wich flewn us to London. After only 1 hour sleep on our way from Canada to Europe I forgot to check on the registration of the plane wich flewn us from London to Brussels. I guess I was too tired! After 1 hour and 15 minutes driving we were back in our hometown Gronsveld again, were our children were happy to see us after almost 2 weeks.
Canada is real great, and real beautifull!!! We had an awsome trip!!!! |
| I'd like to thank Hank Suderman and his wife Virginia for everything they did for us when we were in Surrey. I also like to thank Hank for his help with the exact truck types in the captions. As a Dutchman, I didn't knew most of them. He also figured out most of the company-names wich I "ruined" because of the airfilters!! Without his help those captions were never complete!! Many thanks Hank!!!!!! |
