Braving the elements to indulge yet again ! The weather at Luton today was changeable to say the least but reasonably bright although windy as we were told !!
So a few of the many movements, more to follow .....

was changeable wasn't it! If it was as cold ait has been in Essex (and it's very cold now) you were brave going out in it for long

Like the first 2 best Keith and some nice foreign ones too. Must get there sometime this year - I assume they are from the fire gate so looks like the visibility is still good for photography these days.

Thanks Andy ! Yes crash gate 05 as always, still easy but you do need steps ! and avoid the overhead barbed wire !! as I didn't today !! hey ho all in a days fun !

Keith

A Filipino Falcon, very nice!

As for N767MW, if you can afford to run a 767 I guess you can afford to fly it into LHR to pick you up

How many steps do you need on your ladder these days at crash gate 5? I'm 6ft and used to use a ladder with 3 steps, but I know I'll need more now the fence has been replaced with a taller one.

Thanks PorkScratching .... Falcons they come and go .... but yes pleased with that one !! Yes you need steps mine are five tread I think ? will check tomorrow ? Working on a few more from today at the moment will add later !

Keith

As promised ! A few more from today .....

Depends on where you stand. Between the gate at the 26 end of the runway you'll need at least a five step ladder but if you go the other side of the gate towards the 08 end, then a three step will do.

Nice set from my local. The Greek Legacy is rather colourful.

Thanks for the info on the ladders chaps. Looks like I'll be ok with my 3-step model for now then.

Thank you for those kind words King Cobra ...... ah the step ladder issue is 'raised' again ? mine have five (how big are yours ?) Although I still managed an embarrassing de-mount from them during this day ..... much to others amusement .... lived to shoot another day !!
