I spent all morning at Heathrow...the fog messed up loads of flights and everyone's stranded!  :o >:( :( :'(

so hopefuly I can fly back sometime this week...till then, here's some detail pics of the J50, which I just narrowed down to 1952

thanks guys!

I managed to get another ticket from the Greek airlines this time (British Airways sucks! - I hope they give me a re-fund!)....hopefully I can fly home tomorrow at 4pm or so. :)
