Great photos, particularly fond of the KLM 747 attached to the pushback truck.
Anyone here tried KLM? My parents were all up for changing our Thai flights to KLM, travelling LHR>AMS>BKK. A bit stressful if you ask me, I just want to get to Bangkok. Flights were moderately priced at £435 return. Presumably would have been a 734 to Amsterdam and then a 744 about two hours later when the next flight departed.

KLM must make half their profit on connections! They are perpetualy Britain's 2nd choice for long haul travel, because of the very good, frequent and inexpensive flights to AMS from nearly every major UK airport.
I actually reserved a ticket with KLM yesterday, but cancelled it after 2nd thoughts. I was flying MAN-AMS-NBO-LUN but firstly it was operated by Air Kenya and 2nd there was a short layover in Nairobi. I didn't feel safe/comfortable with that, so I paid £50 more to fly direct from LHR with BA.

Michael, I've flown KLM on 2 different occassions, LAX-AMS-ATH. Mind you, these were back in '89 and '91, respectively, so that was a while ago. The service was good, comparable to a TWA, Lufthansa or United (don't recall if the food was as good as United's). Nowadays, I would definitely favor Thai over KLM, mainly because of my loyalty to the Star alliance. Back then, I had no choice!
