thanks Mark , yes it was a tad cold but at least the sun came out for a short while

I was glad to get home in the warm though

Good catch with the Silkway 747 and the USCG Gulfstream, Andy

thanks Alan, the Silkway is currently a regular Saturday morning flight, at least for the winter - replacing the Cargolux 747 of the greengrocery express from Nairobi. Etihad are also operating some of those Cargolux weekday flights.

I just want to get a shot of the Silkway banking out on a nice sunny morning but it's eluided me so far!

Some nice catches, I must give Stansted a visit one of these days.

Nice set Andy ! Like the USCG ! Seeing that MEWP (mobile elevated work platform) ... I'm an expert with these things that one being a Snorkel is a good piece of kit ! would cost a fortune for one day ... but just think what you could do with it ?? ... That has given me an idea for a thread ........

thanks Keith and yes just think of the photos that would be possible!

so go on what's the thread ifdea then?

An excellent record of the morning Andy! Very pleased with the variety we had, not least the USCG Gulfstream and the first time I've seen a Silkway Italia 747. I was pleased with the West Atlantic 737 too - not a rare aircraft, but not often you see them moving around during daylight hours.
