A few from Stansted 16-6-2017

[andygolfer]

I got back from a week in Tenerife yesterday evening and managed a few photos at Stansted while waiting to depart, some were taken from the aircraft as we pushed back, a nice surprise was the Honeywell 757 departing for a 2 hour flight before going off to Paris later in the day. amazing that the weather at Stansted was better than Tenerife (which I will prove shortly!).....

Had the Honeywell 757 ott Peterborough at FL200 on a flight over East Anglia from STN just midday on the 16th. My shot was a little more distant! Karl

Blimey, cargo variety!

Jammy that you got the Honeywell 757 Nearly wet myself when I saw this at Amsterdam shame when I saw it, it was at 9pm so it was dark

Looks like you had a bit of ground heat too?

thanks James,

there was a reasonable selection but Stansted does get lots of cargo variety, one of the good things about the place. Main ones I can think of are FedEX, UPS, Cargolux, Qatar, Atlas/Panalpina, Martinair, China Southern, Asiana; the West Atlantic 767 day stops nearly every day (as do the UPS 767 & 757) I think that works for UPS. A few Fed Ex feeders and a weekly Etihad 777. The Icelandair flights are a recent feature and appear to be operating a regular schedule although they were originally said to be just a couple of specials.

I knew the Honeywell 757 was about but was chuffed when it taxied out past the terminal but the heat haze was a problem, it was very hot (hotter that Tenerife when we arrived there).

Lovely shots and some good variety, good catch with the honeywell beast too, was watching that trundle round East Anglia all day
