Thanks Mike.

The Air Wing were back on Sunday - missed the arrival of both 747s but did catch the smaller 737-BBJ 'DUBAI 8', as well as several other movements in the afternoon/evening...

Image

Silkway are a fairly recent addition to the regular cargo schedule at Stansted.

Image

Qatar Amiri Flight A319CJ

Image

Two Virgin Atlantic A350s made the short hop from Heathrow, and are now heading to St Louis and Chicago, presumably chartered flights for sports teams or something. 'Purple Rain' up first...

Image

Followed shortly after by 'Red Velvet'.

Image

Emirates Triple7 in from Dubai...

Image

Image

Quite a lot of bizjets that people were photographing but they're not my bag, so just photographed this one.

Image

And last but not least, another one on a short hop, this time AirTanker G-VYGJ in from RAF Brize Norton.

Image

Image

Boeing 777 'ecoDemonstrator' landed too but that was the only movement of note that didn't get any sunlight on the approach. Info courtesy the Stansted Google Group says that it'll be flying a similar pattern all this week (dep 11am, arr 5pm).
