LGW 14th April

First time out at the airport since October time, weather was against us. We left home then when we arrived it started becoming overcast, but hey ho. Heres the results

Michael, hows things going in US? I would much rather your weather!

Everything is going brilliantly, thanks. Just coming to the end of my eleventh week and I still have nearly 40 to go! As for the weather, it has been a little grim here recently. A fair amount of rain, quite a few thunderstorms and plenty of tornado warnings as well.

Thanks Rob.

And Barrie of course. LOL, we had just been for a drive as my friend has only just passed his driving shizzle so he was eager to have a look around, he only cut up 2 buses and 1 van! The shots where taken at 08R end, near the crash gate, however it was from closer to the Airparks carpark. There is one tree in particular you can climb which over looks the RWY, is hard to find though, especially in summer, took us a good 5 or 10 minutes. Up this tree there is space for 2 to stand, and also branches etc to hang all your bags and such from. However, you are up a tree at an airport, so dont be suprised if you get asked to “do one!”

Nice variety Josh but dedicated chaps don’t go stuffing their faces in the car….they take the flask and bag of sarnies with them!!
Where exactly do you stand to take these?They don’t look like the crash gate at the hold but back a bit towards the terminal end?

Thanks guys, really appreciate the words.

Andrew, the Sata is a schedueled service that happens in the summer, it goes to Ponta Delgada. TAP however are giving there Porto work to PGA, which was operated by a E145 yesterday, we waiting for this to arrive, but it was 20 mins early, which point we were sat in the car having lunch next to the Flight Tavern! So that sucked:S

Michael, hows things going in US? I would much rather your weather! But the last shots where actually the first ones, just whacked em on how photobucket uploaded them!

All the best
Josh

Nice shots, Josh. Looks as if the weather picked up judging by the last few snaps.

Looks like you made a very good job of pretty iffy weather! I hate when it clouds over just as I’m arriving!

By the way… do you know the story behind the Sata aircraft? Is it operating for TAP I wonder, because they sent a PGA F100 the other week??
