Stansted Spotting

Great website, noted two things, Bankair on flytecomm is FlyGlobespan, and when you’re providing expected movements then it might be clearer to put them in a list

Nice site there

You are entiled to your own opinion but why are you always so negative? You where the same with Alpha One

Frankly, I believe that if you have something to say, then why not say it? Each and every one of us is going to have an opinion and no opinion is going to satisfy everyone.

Looks like a great website. Well done 🙂

Nice site there

Just pointing out your site is not as rare an item as you think, no need to be so defensive!

How about if I asked for “the next bus stop, please” in my best Swedish?
“Nästa hållplats, tack”

Hehe there’s one or two before then, for employees at the SR Technics hangar.

What a star you are, wannabe_pilot!
I have already printed the bus timetable and your instructions (although white text on white paper is not too legible (joke! I copied the text into Word and marked it, then changed to “Automatic” for the font colour, which gave me black text)).
I’m all set for my next Stansted visit now, many many thanks.

No problem 🙂

Obviously the small bus stop underneath the approach does not appear on that timetable, but the bus would take approx 5 minutes in either direction. Therefore on the way back to the terminal, if you take the arrival time and minus 5 minutes, then that’s roughly when the bus will pass through to be picked back up again.

When asking for a ticket on the bus, just say you’re going somewhere near the long-stay car parks. Otherwise they may charge you for the whole distance to the next town.

And remember, that location is only for RWY05 arrivals. Unless you want to watch the RWY23 climb-outs

Cheers everyone, glad you like it. Already had tons of e-mails coming through the contact page!

All we need now is for you to add the the bus timetable for the number 510 on your web site

And voila, guess what has appeared on the spotting/photography page :p

Thanks for the pointer, there’s also a map on there now.

Excellent site Dan. With the security situation etc changing all the time up to date info concerning spotting/photography at any airport is always very welcome. Well done.

A very nice website. The 737 Dreamliner looks fantastic with the blue background. Nice job! 🙂

Great! All we need now is for you to add the the bus timetable for the number 510 on your web site, for those of us who travel out from Stansted and arrive in good time for the Ryanair check-in (wouldn’t want to miss that)! For example myself, departing Stansted for Gothenburg at 12:00 on 11 July, I will come by train from Cambridge first thing in the morning and will probably have a couple of hours to spare!
Assuming I have any memory left in my camera after attending Waddington and Legends on behalf of the Historic Forum!

Excellent site mate, well done!

Thats a great site, its just what I have been wanting to find!

Great website mate, long may it continue.

Excellent website Dan, gonna try and get myself down to STN sometime next year when I can drive 🙂

Google for ‘stansted spotting’ and the very first two hits give you excellent guides to photography and spotting there.

Neither of those 2 give very much detail about where to spot, particularly when half of my e-mails are from people who have taken a cheap flight to STN and are wondering where they can ‘spot for a few hours’. They’re also outdated, and some areas that were fine before have since become strictly controlled by security. I’m aiming to give information whenever it comes about, and looking at which spots are being cracked down on and which others are still ‘safe’ to use.

Also if you’d have looked at mine you would have seen there are sections for recent sightings, and also for what’s due (updated daily, with information collected from various sources), neither of which the other 2 have.

Very useful, Dan.

Well done. 🙂

Great stuff Dan, this has been needed for a while!

Thanks very much, have a spare Sunday this month at STN so at least I have an idea now.

Cheers!
