Liking those Andy and a nice selection of specials

Very nice set Andy!

Those 2 A380 bank shot's are excellent

Love the others too, some very nice specials, that Eurowings one is very nice, I have yet to see the LOT and Aeroflot one myself though, everyone else seems to see it

The Oman and Gulf Air 787 shot's are also my favorites

Another excellent set Andy, I think your sensor needs a bit of TLC though!

I know, I've got one bad dust spot right on the edge so I can usually zoom out enough to avoid that easily. There are a couple of other minor ones which keeping the aperture below F8 make almost invisible - I'm surprised you found them actually.
I need to take both cameras in for cleaning but need to wait for a window when I don't need them and that's not easy. Hopefully I can get them done in a day if I plan it right. I can't believe how quickly they pick up dust especially if I use the Canon 100-400.
