Name That Seat! Thread - Guidelines

The aim of the game is to guess the seat number and aircraft type from a quirky/fun photo of (or from) a seat on a BA-operated flight in the current fleet.* There ought to be at least one clue of some sort in the photo, so we don't - for example - run the risk of endless Economy seat guesses.

There are only three rules to follow:

1) Photo posters: remember to keep it to one 'live' photo at a time (i.e. check that the last photo posted has been guessed correctly before posting another).
2) Guessers: you must guess a seat number and aircraft type.

3) Guessers: in the event of a wrong guess, please wait a minimum of 10 minutes before guessing again (i.e. let someone else have a chance at guessing before you do so again).

Good luck!

* Depending on how popular the thread is, we might - in the future - open it up to seats on aircraft types retired from the current BA fleet.

What an observant lot!

I have no, zero, de nada memory of plane types and seats.
I would certainly not be taking piccies of them. (Unless Julie Christie was in the seat)
I am suitably impressed.

A bit of background to this photo.
I actually took it as the wing looked so decrepit I was slightly worried about it falling off (although what good a photo would have done at that point, dunno!)
Anyhow it should suffice for this game.

It's a decent effort, but in this case no banana.

I was thinking 767 because I could only see 4 spoilers (which, I think - but may be wrong! - is different to the 5 on a 777). But it doesnt make sense for a FTer to be sat other than in a bulkhead/exit row, and I now think I can see 5 spoilers.

So Im going to have one more guess...21k in WTP on a 777-200.

Exactly right - 21k on a 777-200 departing MCT.
One of my only tries with WTP cabin, and it was a very good option for a day flight like this.
