I’m still waiting for decent weather to try out my new camera properly, but these will have to do in the meantime.
The weather really was as bad as it looks – dull, dark and pouring with that horrible fine rain that soaks you through.
Anyway:
1) Airbus A320 F-GLGG of Air France
2) Lockheed Hercules 1626 of the Royal Saudi Air Force. (This aircraft departed and then returned shortly afterwards on 3 engines.)
3) 1626 again – note the feathered prop.
4) Tupolev 154M LZ-HMW (for all you tri-jet fans out there!)

Last time I flew on a Jetstream I didn’t notice that either side was particularly warmer than the other, RIPConcorde. 😀
Nice pun! :rolleyes: 😀

WEATHER UPDATE
According to the met report early next week we are going to get a ridge of high pressure coming in from the Azores, will be hitting high 20’s for a while.
Time to get the knotted handkerchief and string vest ready lads.

It’s all to do with the jetstream according to that Fish guy on BBC.
There is a ‘cold side’ and a ‘warm side’ and it seems to be too far North this year for us to be on the ‘warm side’.
Or something like that!
