I found the Dash 8 shot interesting. The prop blur and lighting look good, just a pity any zooming in doesn’t really work. Pity also that there are not more opportunities to experiment with turboprops in the dark.

Thanks Andy, I had asked (but not directly of you!) some months ago whether the cafe was still open and accessible. I didn’t get any positive responses, so good to know it is still going. yes it's still okay to go there but only directly there and directly back out. they won't look kindly on using t...

Somewhere I have a picture of a Jetranger in Air Mauritius colours. Let's see if I can find it!
