Default Pics of my QR A346 at LHR

My friend works at LHR and took these pics of my a/c just before we were about to pushback yesterday at 15.05pm:







Now I'm sitting there looking out at him in one of those windows but where exactly am I sitting? Go figure:

Excuse my ignorance, but does QR have inflight sales, and if so, what?

The pic i was referring to was of the starboard side...I think it is hard to tell where you are with pics of the port side so far away!

Yes they do and some very nice stuff too. From perfumes to cell phones to ipods, 1:500 HE models, liqour, cigarettes, makeup, watches, chocolates, sunglasses, belts, scarves, travel accessories, cameras etc and whatever items you buy on board you get bonus airmiles, so I did whatever shopping I had to do on board the a/c.

Was just uploading the vid of our takeoff from LHR and was shocked to see that we narrowly missed a birdstrike. This bird flew right past engine # 1 and you can clearly see it in the vid. Will post the link when its on youtube.

Well, their adverts give a better impression than this below.

No idea what's being said, but it made me laugh anyway!:

The basic connotation is, travel with us and you will be attacked by a giant dinosaur, be scared witless, and then have to run for your life, whilst all the time, the events are commentated on by a couple of guys in a control room somewhere, one of which looks a bit like that bloke out of Eurotrash.

YouTube - SNCF Pub

and this;
