After a prolonged absence, I made it out to Manchester on Saturday - the first time in 18 months. The light was fantastic and I managed to catch the departing Air India flight which had diverted from Heathrow earlier on Saturday. I took my R7 with EF 100 - 400 Mkii and my new R6 Mkii with RF 100 - 4...

I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms, so took the day off yesterday and set myself down at the bottom of 05 R. Arrivals 05R (up to 09:00): The light was a bit iffy to begin with. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53123729695_0d13a12c74_3k.jpg _ZR77276 easyJet A319 G-EZDJ by Paul Zietsman , on...

Dylan, some great catches there. I really like the close-ups.

Andy, another great posting. I especially like the Albawings 737.

Pete, that's an excellent posting. I especially like the artwork on the Cessna 150. The slightly hazy sunlight brings out good detail in the aircraft. Thanks for posting.

Pete, a really decent selection there, with slightly different liveries than the norm on the last two photographs. Is it easy to get to a good place to take photos at Gatwick?

As the arrivals into Manchester have been coming in overhead for the last couple of weeks, I thought I would try to catch the Emirates A380 evening flights each evening for a week.

My last visit to Barton was in July 2012, so I eventually took a trip out there yesterday - and wondered why I had left it so long. Car boot sales are held at Barton each Saturday but the flying area is easily accessible, and there is a decent food outlet and bench tables available. 03 and 04 June a...

Excellent catches there Andy. Pity about the heat haze but it's the price to pay for the great light.

It was an absolutely stunning day yesterday, with great light and a cool breeze.
