The French Invasion Begins... Gatwick 25th July

Post by SamP » Wed Jul 27, 2011 9:24 pm

Monday saw the arrival of the first Air France B747 that will be staging through Gatwick for maintenance work with Virgin, with an early evening arrival expected I decided to walk round to the mound to get on the right side of the sun... Now usually this would have been a great idea, just shoot it rolling off the high speed as it arrived. Oh how wrong I was... the shear size of a B747 had totally slipped my mind and as a result there's a lovely perimeter fence in the shots, I hate that. :lol:

Oh well, I'll hopefully have plenty more chances to catch one. Next time it'll be a set of steps up against the fence I think! Anyway, hope you like them :thumb:
