Good photo of the plane and gate Joanne.
The plane flight number might be BA65 going to Gatesheads.

Bet the new gate won't last as long as the old one. Nice clear picture.

The new gates are made of solid oak as the original where, there not cheap.

I'll take that bet Veronica. I reckon they will last as long as the old ones.

I hope they do last as long- especially if they are solid oak Phil.
