Orbis approaching - Stansted 9-3-2017
The Orbis MD.10 Flying Eye hospital arrived at Stansted this morning on a short flight from Dublin, luckily it was the best day weatherwise for a week or so and the sun shone brightly on it. It is staying at Stansted for a week or so (one rumour says departing on 22nd) but at present it is visible but not photographable from the northside (or the left side of a Ryanair B.737 departing to Bologna if it's on runway 04 - I hope so as that's what i'm doing on 17th!).
3 pics of it at different angles, one with a clear blue sky background, one with a dark cloud background and one with a mixture of both! yes we were lucky....

Top shots Andy, you made the most of the great light. Good to see a '10' still flying.
Cheers Paul

Great set, very well captured. Hopefully this aircraft will keep the sights and sounds of the DC-10 in the skies for a long time still to come.
All the best
