Am I the only person who has yet to get a photo of a Titan 757? Probably not after tomorrow as one is due in at MAN 😀 Great pics there!

This is my “bogey” plane too. Last time I saw it I was Glasgow boarding a plane. Despite having my camera at the ready when taxying I never saw it again!

Thanks guys
Jon: EDI can be great, if you catch a good day (as i did) lots of variety,but, being a fan of the “heavies” ,i prefer GLA, also far better shooting opportunities at GLA
BTW for anyone heading to EDI the car park at Ingliston( a great place to spot and shoot) is now closed, with some VERY limited access to the fence,and reports of Police moving cars on.

Could be right DeanCross, never did find out what was actually wrong, but did a very long roll on rear wheels only before a very light downing of the nose gear, which made me think a hydraulics (3 greens) fault.

Part 2, first up the GAT (and Campsie Snacks for important fried food intake):
Smartly coloured American Reg’d Cessna 750

Less colourful Danish Falcon 2000

Another pop in to Ingliston,got, Germanwings A319

Now to Kirkliston:
Ryanair 737 almost touched down

LTE A320 back again

Blue Line Fokker 100

Delta 767 taking off

BA A319

Another Emb135 Legacy ,this time a Swiss example.

Austrian A321

Sterling 737

Centralwings 737

And finally a busy ramp at EDI

Next up homeward bound, on passing Glasgow noticed Titan 757 sitting on one of our new remote stands, so………

First time i’ve managed to shoot anything on these stands, great for close-ups!!
While there, noticed a fire engine frenzy going on, scanner on revealed an Excel 737 coming in full emergency (hydraulics i think), so…….
While waiting shot this wee Robinson R44:

And thankfully a safe uneventful landing for C-FTAE with 190 souls on board:

And that’s yer lot!! 😀
