I know XL are a budget airline, but I didn't know its was cargo class in a Candid:p

'Find me a photo of a plane'. 'Which one'? 'Who cares, the punters won't know any different'?!

Some kid doing work experience in that "press" office who has never flown anywhere I guess, so has never seen any commercial airliners and assumed all planes look the same. Well they all look big and gray from the ground.

Hey - it's an Ilyushin! Cool - would'nt mind flying in one of those. Now was it the rear cargo ramp they tried to open or just one of the side doors!

Agree with steyr about stock photos. Remember that movie "DareDevil" from a few years back? Nasty villain bullseye (Colin Farrell with a fake Dublin accent - and he's from Dublin!) is flying to the states from London - cue stock footage of a 737 flying through the air.

Maybe thats where those cheap and nasty North American carriers got the idea to start running 737's on transatlantic routes?

Ha ha. By the sounds of things it probably would have been the right place for them all the same.
