Stansted 05-11-2015, planewatch meet up at the aerozone

Post by andygolfer » Sun Nov 06, 2016 8:35 pm

I went along to an extremely cold Stansted aerozone yesterday morning for the monthly police planewatch group meet up. Weather was extremely cold and a bit of drizzle at one point made it even colder but we stuck it out and got some good movements , here's a selection......

some of the cargo operators:

Atlas used a 747-400F instead of the usual Panalpina 8F

it's well worth it, especially when they open it for a special event as they did when air force 1 back in April

Seeing the header I was expecting the same sort of post as Nick put up, but scrolling down a pleasant surprise of a nearly complete different set of frames. Nice mix and some different angles - obviously windy judging by the Ryanair just before touchdown!

I did look at Nick's post first to avoid too much repetition, I managed it quite well considering we were standing next to one another!

thanks for the comments and yes it was windy - a ver cold wind too.
