Nice shots!
What more do you need to know about the two unknowns to you?
One is Aegean, a Greek airline and the other is Transaero from Russia. |

Hi
I believe the picture of BA 777 take off is actually 767 taking off. |

Nice shots - gives us a good sense of winters at LHR!
Is that an AA 767 or a 777? The reason I ask is the bogies seem to have only 2 sets of wheels instead of the 3 found on a 777. _________________ We miss you Nalini! |

Thanks for the information. I was aware of their names as I have seen them quite often at LHR, I just wanted to know their country of origin.
Anyways thanks a lot for boosting my morale..
@Nimish
Thanks a lot , Yes it was really bad snow all over but the good thing this time was to see BAA fully prepared to deal with it as I saw lots to snow clearing vehicles all around LHR, unlike last year when a mere 4 hrs of snow fall shuts LHR for good 3-4 days!!, and you are right its 767 instead of 777, my bad!!
@ashwin
You are right its B767, my appologies.. _________________ “Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.” – Mark Twain |

Other than the obvious 6 wheel MLG, another quick way to tell the difference between a 777 and 767 (when gear are down) is that the 767 gear will tilt forward and the 777 backwards. |

@Sunny: Nice pictures bro! Venturing out for the first time, and in such cold, with snow around, it does take a lot of Determination and Enthusiasm! Kudos!

Thanks for pointing this out, Sameer!
Other major differences:
> The Tail cone (APU Exhaust) on the Trip7 is sharper, resembling the lower portion of the Screw Driver (that drives the screws), while that of the 767 is roundish!
> The L3 / R3 door on the 767 is an Emergency Exit, like we find on the Middle Exits (over wing Emergency Exits) of the A320/319/B737. The Trip7's L3/R3 is a full fledged door.
> The Nose of the Trip7 is a bit broader, and extra roundish.
> The Upper Surface portion of the Trip7 (surface above the Cockpit) climbs gently, against the abrupt climb on the 767's Nose.
> Engines are big too. Much bigger Fan Diameter. |

Thank a lot rutvij, It would have not been possible without you providing me with instructions to post pucs here, So thanks a lot once again!!
And yes it was quite snowy and very cold all around, but as it was my first time I wanted to make it look good , I hope I did some justice....Be prepared for some more from my side in coming future _________________ “Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.” – Mark Twain |
