Civilian Aviation

An early evening visit to Stansted yesterday partly to get some pics of the Martinair 747 in sunlight and because it was a fairly good forecast - unfortunately the sunlight didn't always co-operate but managed some in the sun - continual exposure compensation kept me on my toes a bit - not easy at the top of a set of steps!

the Martinair B.747 which landed just as I arrived so this was rather hurried

and a couple more of it's departure (one in shade and one in full sun)

Nice set of shots Andy.

Good to see that Martinair are sending in the 747 - although the MD-11's were a favourite!!
