Dusseldorf Airport 4th March 2019
Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2019 7:19 pm
Hello all,
Spent a week at Dusseldorf and a bit of time at Cologne last week for my 32nd birthday, a couple of days at the airport and the rest doing 'other' things.
Flew to Cologne on the 3rd March on Ryanair from Bristol as the direct link to Dusseldorf was cut now FlyBMI had disappeared, then a couple trains/trams to the Wartburg Airport Hotel.
Next day took the bus to the airport (though you could walk it) and up to the viewing deck which was closed to to extreme weather, well it was rather windy outside. Plan B, looked at the Spotting Guide side and Spot 2 was on top of one of the multi-storey car parks.
Went up there and it was ABSOLUTELY windy as heck! It also hammered down a couple of times but not for long, it was just extremely blowy which made trying to hold the camera still impossible, so some shot's I've already thrown away, the ones below aren't going to be excellent but they are, I hope, passable!
This set was between getting there and then packing up for a bit and going inside for a hot drink!

Rain was still bad and dark clouds appeared for this, but this was more of a record shot really!

Then went in and didn't come out until the ANA 787 was nearby. When I get round to the next leg I'll post them up.
Haven't got round to the others in the week but did go back on Thursday and the viewing deck was open. Will post those in another thread when I get round to it.
C&C is most welcome, be as harsh as you like so I can try to improve!
