Dark skies and An-26s

Post by yunglee » Thu Mar 29, 2018 5:26 pm

Wednesday tea time turned in to a fantastic hour of aviation photography. Heading home to Doncaster from Scunthorpe I could see dark rain clouds over the airport and with an hour to 'spare' and an easyJet in the circuit I couldn't resist a ride out to the end of the runway. I planned to stop for one circuit, but then found out that an An-26 was due 45 minutes later so it would be rude not to stop!

Well the dark clouds stopped in the distance, the sun almost come out (and eventually did) and we had a couple more visitors...here the results from less than an hours visit!
