Gid wee selection there Scotty. Very good movement for Islay, and very normal weather. Flown in there a couple of times but have never seen any other planes except us. The sheep are gid. That’ll be the day shift finished then ?
How come you were at Glasgae on 28th but you dinnae have a photo of the Россия 154 ?
That G-VANA is a mad looking wee thing.

Christ DJ, i’d be happy to get an AIRPLANE shot on A-Net hehehe:mad:(BTW get pumping the irons before you get it!! never realised how heavy the blighter is:eek: )
Allen, yes, it looks like the titles are removed, actually the whole paint job seems faded and dull.

First class pics, gonna get myself one of yon 100-400 IS thingie’s VERY soon:)
The sheep one is a classic, just a pity you couldn’t get an a/c in the pic, if a coo can get on Airliners.net surely a sheep could? 😉

Nice wave from the Onur Air captain, and has the ‘British Midland’ graphic been removed from above the big ‘BMI’ logo on the A330 ?

I think picture No#2 is what’s commonly known in the Scottish Highlands as “roadside services”…:dev2:
Or a “leisure centre” in the Grampian region…:eek:
Hahaha naughty.:dev2: .. it took me 5 minutes standing in the peeing rain shouting and whistling at them sheep to get them to face the camera(who’s the mug?!?), strangely, a bus passed the stop as i was shooting the Hawk, the 2 sheep went on the road just after it passed and the bus stopped a wee bit up the road!!!,was really expecting these 2 sheep to run up and catch the bus:eek: 😮
