Where in the world am I? | 2022 edition

Lets begin 2022 with a brand new season of "Where in the world am I?", primed and ready for when we start travelling again. Err, didn't I write this last year? Anyhoo...

Inspired and originated by highlander100 back in 2015, the aim here is to truly weed out the travel geeks among us and shower them in all their glory

The winner will be awarded annually and bestowed with the true knowledge that they are a true Flyertalk BA geek.

Here are the rules and they really are very simple:

Take an obscure photo of a BA location you are currently in (or have visited recently). BA codeshare locations are permitted too
Post on this thread and add a clue (if you feel it’s required)
The goal is then to be the first person to correctly guess the location.
The OP confirms who has the first correct guess
The OP updates the win to the Wiki
If the winner has not won before, their name is entered and the post date/time they won is added below. If the winner has won before, the date and time of the post they won is added below their name.

USER NAME
Location guessed, Photo post #, time guessed in.
Location guessed, Photo post #, time guessed in.
Location guessed, Photo post #, time guessed in.
etc. etc
To try and keep it further within the remit of the forum, I think double points should be awarded in the event that the OP can get a BA logo into the photo without giving the game away.
Multiple guesses are allowed, but must be turn about with other members and at least 10 mins apart
Please try and keep it to one live photo at a time.

Here is an easy one to begin with, the photo was taken in 2021, and the bonus question is why is the year a clue?

Oh, and what is interesting about the aircraft in front of my BA aircraft?

I feel like I am cheating but from many moons ago and the days of British European I believe this is EXT?

I am assuming an E190 of cityflyer. And this 2021 as first year of ops there?

That 146 of queens flight no 32 SQN was quite often spotted in BAH in more recent times.

The BAe HS146 is indeed from 32 Squadron, and it was there to take Boris to Brixham Fish Market and then Torbay Hospital on 23 August 2021. HS stands for Hawker Siddeley, which came up with the initial design of the 146, which survives in Avro RJ series aircraft. The 146 was the aircraft that allowed LCY to be a viable proposition. The aircraft in the photo, ZE701, is over 35 years old.
