Guernsey Airport - Final Update

Post by Tally-ho » Wed Jun 28, 2017 8:24 am

In total about four hours, over a few days with good weather, resulted in quite a mixed bag of traffic as seen from the fenceline on the northern perimeter of Guernsey Airport. The location I used was at the threshold of runway 27 (09/27) giving reasonable views of activities. Some shots incurred heat haze. There is a good mix of airliner and general aviation traffic and well worth spending longer if so inclined - all unrushed in pleasant surroundings.

A few more to follow after editing. Thank you.

Nice to see Guernsey crop up, not been to the airport before but from what I understand it's a waist height perimeter fence making it easy for photos?

Did you get any of the Aurigny ATR's or Dornier's? I like the Embraer shot :clap: :clap:

Yes, the viewing area is easily accessible by car on the eastern perimeter fenceline, waist high fence no steps needed.

3rd and final batch.

Picture below:-
The photo was taken 20.47 at East Midlands as we boarded for Guernsey after a seven hour delay when the original ATR 42/72 (G-LERE) went 'tech' on the threshold of #27. The shown ATR (G-COBO) came from Gatwick to collect us all, after its scheduled flight from Guernsey to Gatwick. We arrived at Guernsey 22.30 and for the record Aurigny gave us £25.00 food vouchers (no good for drinks) for use at East Midlands. The joys of air travel - not.
I was thinking there would be more Aurigny ATR's to be photographed at Guernsey - alas I missed them all - hence this single one taken by smartphone. :roll: :D

Picture below:-
It's hot! It was 30C at 17.05; there's heat haze, max focal length, full crop ... small Cessna 310R (G-SOUL) ... what do you do ... put more heat in the image! :lol:
