Tidy set James, and the weather conditions nicely overcome

Great selection, especially as it looks very overcast. It's been a long time since I've been to EMA - and that looks like a really good spot for photography. Given the runway 09-27 markings, and we've had an easterly wind for weeks, I guess this spot is at the eastern end of the airfield - is it easy to get to and park?

Agree with Marcus, you've picked the type of shot to make the most of the poor conditions, good work

Correct, it's the south-easterly side. Normally you would park at the crash gate at the end of runway 27, then follow the fence towards the terminal. You will pass the first mound closer to the end of 27, keep following the fence until you pass the old aeropark and see a large mound ahead. It's my favourite spot at the whole airport, you have the sun behind you for most of the day and the aircraft taxi past close. Only problem is some security personnel have a problem with spotters being there, but having said that the last time I was told to move was last August.
