That is awesome, doesn't that scheme look nice on a 747! Well caught Niall and thanks for sharing it.

I hope to catch it departing LHR tomorrow morning.

Work had sent me to do some photos in the Docklands so decide to take a trip to London City Airport afterwards to get some of the little jets there. how unfortunate - how many of us would love an employer sending us on an assignment like that! :lol: :lol: how fast were you to get to the front of th...

superb Pete, I went past Nainamo but being on a coach I didn't have your flexibility unfortunately. If I go back I shall have to hire a car for a day or two.

thanks for sharing them even if it did make me envious

A bit of travel advice for anybody going to Stansted to 'spot' at Belmer Road over the next week or so, the road is closed for water main work at Burton End so the access is only available from the north from the Elsenham - MoleHill Green road. The road is visible on the first page of my viewing gui...

very nice Neil, amazing how quickly it changed (for the better). we has similar problems in Essex early on Thursday, I had planned a bit of a trip out but that and the M.11 being closed made me change plans and it was just a short trip to Stansted instead. The light on those is really nice and the b...

one longish trip on Thursday and a convenient Tesco run on Friday (I did confess my reason for offering to do the shopping this time :lol: ) although the Friday one was mainly to get the Uzbekistan 767 for which I was literally one minute too late (it's due back next week sometime so hope it's Monda...

I tried to find something from the early days of 747s but most of my prints / slides from them are pretty poor and I couldn't find one as old as Stephen's Pan Am example, well done Stephen! (maybe we should have a special award for the earliest photo :D). For now I've gone for something far newer, S...

sad news today, another of that famous team gone to the football stadium in the sky...

I popped over this morning to catch the Wideroe DHC.8 as I'd yet to get a pic of one and also the Pobeda 737 which was a first timer for STN. The letter foiled my as they switched runways as it was coming in and it got round to the 04 approach faster than I could so I missed that. The Wideroe was ab...

many thanks Claudio, I'll send you a message beforehand as well in case you are around.

andy

very nice Claudio (as always), I 'm back at Imola in March so must try to get there again.

Who can I ask for permission to walk round please as last time I just took photos from the fence lines.

thanks for posting them
