It's not often you seem to get a sunny aerozone day, lovely stuff!

I like the amount of "big biz" Stansted gets, and that 757 is a corker, not one I've seen before - any more info on it?

sorry, I uploaded the pre-edited version rather than the final titled one. It's N770BB which I've photographed at Stansted a couple of times before (2018 & 2019), it's owned by the Yucaipa Companies (a private equity company) and it's 33 years old - started life with Sterling Airways in September 1991 as OY-SHB, cn 25220

Hope that helps
Andy

Some nice looking 'biz' there - thanks for posting.

A nice mix as usual Andy. I echo the comment re the biz. Yes the 757 is rather smart and you have a far better photo than I have from 2010. I also have a very poor slide scan from 1992 when it was with Sterling. I wish I could take modern gear back in time to recapture poor images - and get all those missed opportunities.

thanks Ian, like you I wish I could turn the clock back and re-visit with my current photo gear. There are so many I should have photographed but didn't.
