17 years ago i was lucky enough to be invited on a family and co-workers flight from Manchester to Madrid on the now long gone Air 2000...An early start from Manchester saw us arrive into Madrid around mid morning, whilst the rest of the aircraft headed of to see the sights of Madrid, me and a frien...

Back to the good old days....

Only 5 years ago but seems so long, thanks for the post, great memories.

During one of my trips to China I had a couple of days free time to discover the wonderful sights of Shanghai, this of course meant a trip over to Shanghai Hongqiao airport as I only ever got to stay at Pudong. I followed the various spotting reports and booked myself into the Hong Gang hotel, reque...

Was going through some old snaps I took from many moons back, what is really poignant is that the vast majority cant be seen anymore. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50445669151_6a80f59abd_h.jpg Untitled by Rob Burns , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50445844017_7d760bab0e_h.jpg Un...

Normally associated with summer charters this My Travel A320 is seen being towed onto stand in Manchester, in the background you can see another two British Airlines that are also now gone.

Hi all, I did try and put them in Fighter Control, but it said the height was too much, it was actually by accident I put them on Civil spotters. Does FC have different restrictions ?? Cheers Rob Hi Rob, FC has exactly the same restrictions on image size and you should be able to post the military ...

Have a crack with this one...

Hi all,

I did try and put them in Fighter Control, but it said the height was too much, it was actually by accident I put them on Civil spotters.

Does FC have different restrictions ??

Quality not the best as I only had my point and shoot with me as I couldn't really be lugging my proper gear round Kyiv meetings for two days. https://l...

Think it might be easier if you tell us what you saw and we can tie up.

Hi,

Just so you are aware, B-LIC is a 400 not an 800.

Hi Bob, Being a regular Manchester spotter I completely agree, the difference is that in Manchester a car of 5 people would still only be £12, for 5 of us (2 kids) at Cardiff was a stunning £75 !!! Throw into the mix that two of these had come along just as I am there dad its disgusting. What I didn...

Turned up this morning as I do every couple of years only to be told that entrance to the Flying club Cafe was £15 per person !! This might have included lunch but with two kids with me I wasn't paying £45 !! Exploitation does not come Into it, the number of people they missed out on buying food mus...

Was passing on Tuesday so i called in for 5 minutes, mound still there, parking for approx 20 cars no problems, only thing its missing now is some aircraft, unless you get lucky with a Wizz there is nothing there anymore that doesnt go to Manchester.

Enjoy either way.

First attempt so be gentle !!

The following log was taken between 0800 and 0900, 1400 hrs and 1730 hrs and 1830 and 2100 hrs, local meetings had to be cancelled due to rolling blackouts, this resulted in me having to work from my hotel room :-) I have tried not to duplicate aircraft seen the previous day so that you can get some...

Flew Delhi - Mumbai on board JetLite, short flight, great service. I had looked around for weeks and weeks to try and get some information regarding spotting at Mumbai, all i could gleam was that the Orchard hotel used to give views but after building work people were now unsure, you could supposedl...

Hi All, Flew Bangalore-Delhi on the morning of the 13th, after arriving and several meetings I was taken to my hotel which was about 4-5 miles ?? out just to the left of the ILS for runway 29, I had no idea whatsoever if the hotel would allow me to see the ILS and upon arriving at the hotel i was di...
