Are they due to the fact that AI's are P&W and BA's are RR. Here are the photos.

Cheers, Sumantra. Found this photo of HKG with two B744s. P&W and RR... couldn't find the one with GE engines. http://goo.gl/52GVpE rgds VT-ASJ _________________ [url=http://openflights.org/user/aseemsjohri] [/url] Back to top jbalonso777 Member Joined: 05 Jul 2012 Posts: 1501 Location: Never, never land Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2014 9:24 am    Post subject: Allow me to post some pictures of my own, of a B744 (B74E, to be exact) with GE engines. B-16408 was the plane which operated my first ever 747 flight. Spotted it a few days before.. Fly day! Slightly weird picture of the engine.. The TR, where I describe the sounds of the engines. You can also have a listen to it in the start up and take off videos. Nimish, to answer your question, I do not know if that's possible or not, but then again, the GE test bed had a GE90 fitted along with the original engines....
