Could be (based on) a Yak-200/210, too? From the size and the engines it's a good match:

I think you nailed it Dizzy', with the dorsal fin fillet showing in this pic

Interesting comparison... while the text (next page) is saying this is a Douglas...

The other thing that I thought was interesting was that the plane is low wing, but the nacelles are still slung, so the fuselage would sit way off the ground.

Cheers,

Logan

Yes, thanks.
And here is the last picture with this 'Douglas' plane:

From his (French) toys catalogue, my son showed me the Real Boeing-747 is 2-engined (with 3 passengers only)...:

Reminds me of the Fisher Price jet, which is basically an egg-shaped DC-9

And which Nick mentioned here

Nice one, thanks!

this one was on the front page of Belgian bussiness newspaper "De Standaard" today.
(article was the rivalry between Brussels Airlines and Ryanair in Brussels Airport).

That's pretty cool ! I think Ryanair would have the upper hand, in sheer numbers....you guys buy about 4 737s for the price of one F-35 !

Well I know who I'm rooting for

No it's not. I've had a couple of issues. They may well provide a perfectly adequate service for a lot of people but as I said I've had a few issues whilst flying on business. The other major budget provider on the other had was excellent when a couple of problems cropped up

hate to see the competition escalate - my daughter works in France and flies on Ryanair
