Looks like you've nailed it Richard if Johns anything to go by!
Does that mean I've seen 25% of the UK population in one shutterburst?

Boeing 737,
you still won't get me on one of these just yet.
As an aside, in the image at the article, the GOL aircraft has a slightly different tail (last bit of the body) detail to the rest, seems more simplistic, what's going on there?

According to http://www.b737.org.uk/737maxdiffs.htm, the 737 MAX APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) is still a Honeywell 131-9 but is updated to series 41 which has various minor improvements such as improved starting reliability. Externally, the tailcone has been extended 43 inches for streamlining.Boeing 737,

I take that to mean that the APU fitted went from series 40 to series 41 during 737 MAX production and so the tailcone external appearance changed.

I noted this story on the BBC News website (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-55446454), but I didn't recognise one of the aircraft's name and model designation, and so I looked it up. ("Meanwhile, the US ski-equipped Basler aircraft flew 2,200km from the US McMurdo research station to Australia's Wilkins Aerodrome to pick up an Australian doctor.).
Here's the aircraft. I think its ancestry goes back almost 90 years...

Wonderful, no doubt with turboprop instead of piston engines it won’t make the same lovely noise !
