These amazing photos of a Norwegian 737 arriving at Cotswold Airport on Wednesday were taken by Mark Turfrey.

A number of this type of aircraft have arrived at the airport for storage in recent months.

As with many Norwegian 737s, the plane features a 'tail fin hero' - in this case the linguist Ivar Aasen, best known for assembling one of the official written versions of the Norwegian language.
