Welcome to my first blog of Aircraft Aviation in Europe. We are going to take a look at new aircraft in my home country in Malta.
Note: These photos from 2006-2012 are from Kodak C340 camera you will see some poor quality image in couple of blogs but two months ago I bought an upgraded camera Fujifilm Finepix S2980 with good quality images.

Air Atlanta Icelandic
TF-ATX is a Boeing 747-200F was new to British Airways
G-BDXM in 1977. In 2002 British Airways retire their Boeing 747-200 for scrap of cargo use. This plane is only in Malta for cargo and left unfortunately I don't know where it was heading.
