Civilian Aviation

The Silway IL.76 finally got here just after 10am after several delays. Up with the owls to check FR24 this morning and the light improved a lot in time for it's arrival where I met wiggy (Denis) so I was able to put another face to a name (nice to meet you Denis) anyway here are some pics of a superb looking aircraft!

Nice to meet you today Andy. I enjoyed our chat while we waited. Loving Stansted's recent love-in with the IL-76!

thanks Denis, we are being rather spoilt of late.

I've sent you an e-mail with that info BTW

The IL-76 was in Malta yesterday collecting 2 A330 Eurowings engines from Lufthansa Technik

Thanks Andy much appreciated.

Lovely shots chaps. Shame I couldn't join you for this one - I had prior arrangements this morning.

Nicely caught Andy - you can't beat a bit of Candid photography!

thanks Nick - I wondered if you would turn up.

Yet more good shots of another classic airliner........ unfortunately I couldnt make it either as I also had a prior arrangement, but looking forward to the next one............
