My farewell to Ataturk and the Fly Inn mall

Post by wiggy » Mon Oct 01, 2018 8:05 pm

I went for a week's holiday to Turkey in the middle of September.

Main base for the week was Antalya but couldn't resist the lure of a final trip to Ataturk before it closed. Did a day trip on the 12th Sept AYT-IST-AYT for the princely sum of £55 return. Ataturk didn't disappoint with some nice visitors on the day including a big tick off my wish-list which to keep you in suspense I have left in pride of place at the end of the post.

Firstly to the beach for some shots until the sun came around behind the Fly-Inn mall at 2pm.

Then on to the Fly-Inn mall for the afternoon

Quite possibly the best £55 I have ever spent. A bit sad to see this location pass into the history books but at least it went out with a bang!

Will post my shots from Antalya in a bit but lots to sort through before I hone them down to the best ones.

All the best.

Denis.
C&C welcome.

Fabulous selection, particularly the Iranian stuff, and the Iraqi 747-400.

Fantastic selection, especially some of the Iranian aircraft and the Iraqi B747 is very nice also.

Wow :o :o Such variety with a handful of things I've never heard of before!

Very nice Iraq 747 but I love your last one, the Meraj A300, what a livery :D

A stunning set of shots thank you very much for sharing :thumb:
