first of all the Russians, an IL96, 2 IL62s and the Il 76 that had been around for a week or so:
the Il96 RA96016 was first to depart
RA-86561 was the first of the IL62s to leave
Followed a bit later by RA-86466
And then as the light was leaving the ’76 made a very noisy departure
Looks like Ryanair have a new addition to their fleet:
And finally after sitting on the runway getting up to full power for what seemed ages off she went making loads of noise and plenty of smoke - I think half of Essex must have heard it, last week I noticed the old Aeroflot titles painted out but still showing a bit but couldn’t believe how dirty it was , looked like it had been parked on a farm for a few months still a nice sight though
Now some of the Others
Continuing the russian theme a bit, Tu154 OM-BYO came and went
A couple of 747s arrived
And some FedEx movements
Thomas Cook are operating this A320 (YL-LCI) in a mainly white scheme, a somewhat rocky landing
And finally some of the other regulars:
I had loads of shots in the dull weather that i didnt consider posting but the 76 & 96 were too uncommon not to post them
