Hi Guys n Gals,
yes I know it's a rubbish picture, taken from the 11th level of the MSCP, but it was the only option I had for a shot! (And that was between squally showers).
Regards
Reggie

Also another shot is on long finals over Stockport..... Not the best shot, as it just started raining

Nice shots both.
Jonathan, Stockport really isn't long finals!

Interesting. Final approach is 2-3 miles on the glideslope apparently, so what constitutes long finals?

Well it's a subjective term!
For a GA long finals would be 2 miles, but for an airliner 2 miles is generally considered short(ish) finals. I'd guess long finals for an airliner would be something like 7 miles? But as I say it really is subjective!

There is a definitive guide somewhere, why I get back from Belgium I'll find it
