Civilian Aviation

I went back to Stansted for an hour or so this afternoon to practice exposures a bit as I seem to be under-exposing of late, at least part of the time. I thought the light changing as evening set in would provide good testing conditions and convinced myself it was worth getting cold for! Very mundane after the excitement of the Russian flight yesterday but that suited me especially as I was trying a new location (it's probably better for 04 departures in the evening that 22 landings)

nice to see a few Air Berlin schemes hanging on, this was operating a Eurowings flight

another G.280 in primer scheme stopped off for a visit to the paint shop

one of the re-registered EasyJet A.320s (of which there are more and more appearing)

this came directly overhead so I had to wait for it turning away to get anything other than a belly shot

hadn't seen this for a long while - it's been in but not when I've been at the airport..
