Summer Hols Day Two - London-Gatwick
Summer Hols Day Two - London-Gatwick
A 3:15 start in Somerset to get up to Gatwick in time for sunrise and the interesting trans Atlantic traffic.
#1 - arrival at the 09 end
#2 - First arrival for me and in low light a Norwegian B787-9
#3 - the Emirates A380 punched this amazing hole in some low lying cloud/mist
#4 - Aurigny Embraer 190/195
#5 - first of the Thomson aircraft, B787-9 G-TUIJ, to adopt the TUI name
As with days of old at Gatwick, Canadian operertors were well represented
#6 - Westjet B737-700
#7 Air Transat A310-300
#8 - Westjet B767-300
#9 - Air Canada Rogue B767-300
And a selection of the interesting visitors
#10 - these will be gone soon enough so great to get some up to date photos
#11 - Prestige B767-300 on a Vueling flight
#12 - Air Baltic B737-500
#13 - Freebird A320 - each of their fleet has a different tail colour from memory
#14 Iberia Express A319
#15 - for me this was the start turn of the day, Meridiana MD80
#16 - Pegasus B737-800
#17 - One of the new TAP Express Emraer 190/195s
#18 - THY B737-800
#19 - Ukraine B737-800
#20 - One of BA's 'new' secondhand A320-200s
#21 - Air Arabia A319
#22 - Thomas Cook B757-300
#23 - Smartwings B737-800
#24 - One of numerous Easyjet A319/320s
#25 - Small Planet A320-200 wearing Atlas Atlantique titles

Some nice shots there Cessna.
I think the 1st shot made the trip worthwhile - that is a great composition!

Re: Summer Hols Day Two - London-Gatwick
super set especially the first and third pics - that cloud effect from the A.380 is amazing.
thanks for getting up so early to get the picks and for posting them

Re: Summer Hols Day Two - London-Gatwick
A lovely set with some great images. Numbers 1 and 3 are excellent, but the rest are nicely composed and very sharp too. I need to get up a bit earlier one day so I can catch the WestJet 737 flight.
Re: Summer Hols Day Two - London-Gatwick
Stunning images
Re: Summer Hols Day Two - London-Gatwick
Excellent images! Your location there seems perfect, I'd heard Gatwick was a nightmare for photographing, you give me hope.
Re: Summer Hols Day Two - London-Gatwick
Superb set,so much for Gatwick being crap for photos!
