June Highlights

Post by wiggy » Wed Jul 07, 2021 5:08 pm

Some highlights from being out and about in June. I think it is fair to say that what June lacked in quantity it made up for in quality!

Second Aviastar TU B757 to visit Heathrow on a sunny Sunday evening

Japan AF B777 departing Gatwick for the G7 meeting at Cornwall

First of two African government A340s to visit Heathrow in the month. 3DC-SDF of the Eswatini Government

Geo-Sky cargo B747-200 on a cargo flight to Heathrow

The mighty An-225 landing at Brize Norton returning with three Puma helicopters from Afghanistan. First time I've managed to see this on one of its infrequent visits to the UK

Second African government A340 of the month, this time from Libya. Never thought this one would fly again having languished for seven years at Perpignan since the fall of Gaddafi. Cracking scheme but could have done with a nicer backdrop on the day!

and finally a couple of shots of another China Eastern special scheme on one of their A330-200s

July will have to work hard to top that lot!

All the best

Denis.

Cracking shots! Had to look up Eswatini to my shame then found it used to be Swaziland. Every day's a school day.
