Bristol-Lulsgate - 14th Feb

Post by Cessna954 » Sat Feb 16, 2019 11:35 am

I'm aiming to make a monthly trip out to Lulsgate to photograph the regulars - any more frequent and it's the same aircraft based.

The forecast was for an easterly wind and 100% sunshine all day, well when I arrived numerous non CAT3 aircraft were in holding patterns for Bristol and Cardiff and visibility on 27 threshold was 130m.

By mid morning the fog was starting to clear - Easyjet A319 on departure off 27.

it remained patchy fog and I caught this Embraer 170 in a clear spot

The first TUI B757 to departure was totally obscurred but i managed to catch this one.

Once the fog cleared they reverted to duty runway 09 - Ryanair over the threshold

This Easyjet Europe A320 on finals with another Easyjet turning on to approach over the Bristol channel

Pleased to have caught this A319, as I had not photographed G-EZFV before despite having been in service for 9 years and about to join PIA

BMI / Brussels Airlines Embraer 145, I wish they would use their own aircraft in full livery.

As the sun swings around the light for touchdown shots is great

A good number of Easyjet A320 NEOs are currently based at Bristol

A little bit of variety from Easyjets and Ryanairs - Blue Islands ATR (not sure what will happen to these once Flybe is sold as they are in a franchise agreement)

This Diamond DA62 went up in the afternoon to run calibration of the NavAids at Bristol, Cardiff and St Athan.

The ATRs make a great engine purring sound

To finish the day a corporate Beechcraft 90GTX M-TSRI

very nice Neil, amazing how quickly it changed (for the better).
we has similar problems in Essex early on Thursday, I had planned a bit of a trip out but that and the M.11 being closed made me change plans and it was just a short trip to Stansted instead.

The light on those is really nice and the backdrop at Bristol looks very good as well
thanks for posting them
