Airliners over Donington Park (90 photos)

Post by Tim R-T-C » Thu Dec 03, 2015 7:34 pm

Hi all,

I'm finally sorting and uploading my plane photos accumulated over the last few years, usually taken while sitting at airports for going on holiday, or in this case while watching motor racing. Donington Park is the circuit under the west end of East Midlands Airport (UK) and while sitting watching racing events there it is pretty typical to get a good number of airliners overhead. Most of the time they take-off to the West so you don't get the best shots, but occasionally (often later in the year it seems) they land from the West, giving some great photo ops.

I've just uploaded my complete collection from 2012-15 to Flickr - the full gallery is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/r-t-c/alb ... 9650012283

They were landing over Donington Park again during the World Superbike event on the last Bank Holiday weekend:
