A regular into Manston is the Luxembourg based cargo airline, Cargolux. These images were taken today in overcast and drizzly conditions as this flight CLX711 arrived from Kenya.

I hope they are off some interest, shame the conditions weren't better

Lovely catch Nick

Very nice Nick.

There's nothing like a grubby old big bird.

Could do with a good clean

Loving that last shot!
