Many thanks again Culpano. All of my shots are taken from behind the perimeter fence, however there are certainly some fantastic spots. Although some have been lost with all he development, some very nice new ones have been made by the runway extension. I certainly hope Southend is like a mini-Frankfurt for the Olympics, but so little seems known at this late stage. I’m sure plenty of biz jets are almost certain, but they are not my sort of thing.

Garyrussell, I’ve got no more ‘nice light’ shots at the moment, but certainly would like to get some more. Best I can do is a Golden Air ATR72 I got this morning, however the light was a bit harsh bu at least the sun was shining.
