BA never did and still does not use the Boeing 747 on its short-haul routes to frankfurt. frankfurt has no alpha-gates. their gates all begin with the letter v followed by a three-digit number. this has been like this since they introduced gates. (there used to be parking on the field itself in the old days.)

also, old joke.

looks like a bdsm paddle. I've seen ones with objects that spell out 'slut' or various other words on the paddled behind and wouldn't be surprised if that object on it produced some kind of imprint as well.
