by this time the aircraft was shaded side on to me so I tried it in B&W, the 737 flew across as a bonus! - I actually saw it coming for a change!

Thanks Keith. No didn't see him. I guess he was probably on the mound. I was out near Westside Green

A few to add from me from a little bit closer in to the airport.

very nice Denis, as per my e-mail - I saw you leaving as I drove past. Interesting to see a departure from there, looks to be good for them as well as landings.

I didn't bother for the arrival , it was rather cloudy. I've seen some pics on the air Britain Stansted FB page and some were quite good considering the weather. There were some of the departure there but I prefered to be out on the fields for a banking shot as shots from Belmer road and the mounds would have been into sun.

Great shots

Nice set of shots there Andy.
