Stansted - an evening on the approach, 26-6-2017

Post by andygolfer » Tue Jun 27, 2017 10:16 am

A bright evening looks in prospect yesterday so I went to Stansted for an hour and a half - it would have been longer but a bank of cloud to the west shut the sun out prematurely but I managed some in nice evening light although the subjects weren't generally very interesting.

Very nice Andy! I like that set very much :clap:

Not sure what the stack of uninreresting liners are, Korean 747, Travel Service, FedEx, US Government Gulfstream etc etc, would have loved to have seen most of those, I suppose you've seen them a thousand times though Andy :lol: :lol:

well the Korean wasn't really at Stansted :D but most of the others are in either fairly or very regularly. Evening times at Stansted do get quite a bit of variety but most repeat themselves before long. The Gulfstream was a nice surprise but mustn't go on about it too much in case I get reminded that it's military!

If you like FedEx then a weekday evening is a good time to visit, suaally 2 or 3 MD.11s (often one is a 777), the A.300 plus their feeder flights all in a few hours.

There's some nice stuff in there Andy - e.g. the C-20, the BBJ and the FedEx A300. Piston twins aren't that common these days either. I noticed the Korean 747-8I feeding off the Lambourne hold while I was in the garden - it looked long enough to be an 8i, although I couldn't be sure at the time because it would have been at 8000ft or so!

thanks Nick, Korean use the 747-8i 4 times weekly and A380s on the other 3, I posted the full schedule here back in March: http://www.civilianaviation.co.uk/forum ... =6&t=27621

hopefully see you at the aerozone on Saturday but i may not stay all morning (or arrive at 7am!)
