Re: Warsaw/Yerevan trip 11/23

Cracking set :clap:

Nice different variety and some things we'll never see over in the EU again (Redwing, UTair etc) I can imagine it was strange collecting RA serials!

Weather at Warsaw looked absolutely dismal! Didn't know there was a viewing deck of any description there

Re: Stansted 24-02-2023

Excellent set as always Andy! One day I'll actually get round to staying at a hotel at Stansted and doing a couple of days there! Still has a good mix there I see, that Malta new livery looks quite nice actually. Also not going to lie but that Pegasus A321 looks so long I thought it was a 757 at a v...

Re: Another couple from RAF Lakenheath 26/02/2024

Shame they went out the other way still very good shots though, timed well with the wheels still going in on the 767 :clap:

Luton Airport 21st September 2022

Hello All, Had a week in Luton in September, everyone told me "why the heck would you stay in Luton?" Well it wasn't IN Luton, it was just outside the airport, brilliant base for the week and on the Wednesday had a lazy day spotting arrivals, a good mix of the usual stuff and Bizjets, plus the bonus...

Beluga XL F-WBXL at Fairford

Hello, I know this is already on here but I thought as I've just got round to doing the photo's I'll post my Beluga XL pics up from RIAT 2022. I must admit I thought this was flying with the Red Arrows as they turned up with the Voyager so I assumed the Beluga was cancelled but was happy when it tur...

Compton Abbas Pooleys day 22-05-22

Hello all, Having not been to Compton Abbas for a good 3 years or so, I somehow stumbled across this event online a few days before hand. The Pooleys event seemed to be more of an 'executive members' thing rather than a day for spotters, I did wonder if it was private but it said the public is welco...

London Heathrow Nikon D810 test 13-05-22 Part 2

Hello all, Continuing on from Part 1, here is the second set moving on into the late afternoon/early evening. Also for the last hour or two I switched over to the Tamron 18-200 lens, which made my camera weigh like paper after taking off the 600 lens :lol: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5210799...

Re: London Heathrow Nikon D810 test 13-05-22 Part 1

Thank you! I'll post part 2 soon, but yes I saw on reviews how heavier the Sport is, and the contemporary is still good enough so I went for that on that basis! Any recommended straps or they all pretty similar? I certainly felt it in my arms near the end of the day, though I did change over to a 30...

London Heathrow Nikon D810 test 13-05-22 Part 1

Hello all, Early in May I spent a lot of money treating myself to a second hand Nikon D810 and a new Sigma 150-600m contemporary lens. I have been using the Nikon D5500, which I still have, but this D810 is my first step onto the full frame camera range, and what a beast it is! Coupled up with the S...

Went on holiday to Kent last week, travelled down on the 1st April and came back last Friday, so about a million other pictures to sort out but I've done this small selection I took Friday!

Re: Heathrow 20-03-2022

Ah sorry must be confusing my 787's they are newer than I thought, just checked my freebird list which confirms I need all the Bangladesh 787's, thinking about it now I must be confusing it with the China Southern ones which have the 787 titles. Cargojet was a regular operation from the pandemic IIR...

Two Spitfires around Detling, Kent, 2nd April

Just finished at the South East Bus Fest at Detling Showground in Kent and after the show spent some time doing overflights, and there was a pair of Spitfires that flew by nearby, probably at around 1645 - 1700, not on FR24 or 360radar, just wondering if anyone happens to know the serials if someone...

Thank you guys!
