Thanks lads
The RYR was circling overhead for a couple of times before making it’s approach, it just looked like a normal speed landing, did notice the airbrakes deployed before hitting the deck, and, it touched down very sharp… not long after the piano keys and the reversers deployed sharp too. A great job by the crew to make it really a non event thankfully.

Great sunset shots from Bristol, great catch on the RYR emergency, any idea what was wrong apart from flaps up? I belive that is one of the old 738’s that FR have.

Lovely sunset shots from Bristol. 🙂 And a very nice catch with the hungarian pair too. 🙂

Some really great shots, I wonder what the final approach speed for that RYR was? Interesting to see he had the slats deployed which probably reduced his final approach speed slightly.

All the best
