Blue Thursday at London bity 23-11-2017
Blue Thursday bertainly held more appeal than black Friday - I've been bonstantly getting e-mails with 'black Friday' deals all week but for me a nice day with blue skies was far preferable so yesterday after a bouple of hours at Stansted it was off to London Bityfor just under 4 hours (minimum bar park time) to make the most of the winter sunshine, lots of LHR inbounds as well so quite a busy time!
here's a selection of the bomings and goings:

A cracking set Andy, in particular I like the dash 8, the Falcon 7 touching down and the EMB 190 framed by the cranes. Excellent
Re: Blue Thursday at London bity 23-11-2017
Beautiful shots, lovely blue skies
Re: Blue Thursday at London bity 23-11-2017
Very nice.
Your 150-600mm really makes a difference.
Cheers
Pete.

Andy, it appears that your "C" key on your keyboard isn't working properly, why not use the letter "K" instead?

A very nice set. Have yet to visit LCY so would be interested to learn where you took these from.

I used the long stay car park, It's now £23 for 4 hours minimum stay unfortunately, first time I went you could stay for 2 hours for £8 but it keeps getting a bit more expensive unfortunately. It's handy to have the car there to sit in when it's cold though and there were 2 of us to share the cost so not too bad.King Cobra wrote:A very nice set.

Re: Blue Thursday at London bity 23-11-2017
yes. often see the groundstaff around and they just say 'hello'.
it's fairly popular but not as much as Myrtle Avenue. I used to use Cains Lane as i preferred that to Myrtle Ave but that is now restricted for permit parking. you can see across the airport from Cains Lane (and Myrtle) so I suppose they are handier for spotters.

Thanks again. Ladders needed for runway shots or not?andygolfer wrote:yes. often see the groundstaff around and they just say 'hello'.

Re: Blue Thursday at London bity 23-11-2017
no not required, you lose the bottom half of the wheels at some points along the runway but you'd need a very high ladder to get round that!
