2% Cloud – My **** (EGCC)

Very nice indeed Sam, the best of the bunch for me are the Qatar and Air Canada!

Danny

Love the title Sam – Very you!

Some brilliant shots there mate, and considering the weather wasn’t on your side, you have seemed to have done pretty well.

Look forward to seeing them on Jet Photos.

Adam

Great shots, love the XL rorate and the 2 singapore T7 shots, great angle.

If it makes you happier, i got very burnt at Heathrow this weekend with A.Spalding, think all our cloud was with you!!! 😀

For example, presently

Metar: EGCC 271420Z 31014KT 9999 FEW026 SCT039 16/11 Q1026
(reported on the 27th at 14:20 GMT, wind is from 310 degrees, blowing 14 knots, there are few clouds at 2600ft above the airfield, scattered clouds at 3900 feet. Visibility greater than 10km (9999 bit). Temp is +16 deg C, dewpoint is +11 deg C. Pressure is 1026mb)

TAF: EGCC 271157Z 271322 32010KT 9999 FEW028 BKN040
(predicted conditions made on 27th at 11:57 GMT for the 27th period 13:00 to 22:00 GMT – wind 320 deg, 10 knots. Visibility greater than 10km. Few clouds at 2800ft, broken clouds at 4000ft.)

NB Few = 1-2 eighths, Scattered = 3-4 eighths, broken = 5-7 eights and overcast is literally that (8 eighths).

I can actully decode METARs and TAFs…i’s not hard! 😀

Thanks for the comments Guys!

Metcheck is more unreliable than the BBC. Once I checked it at home, when it was tipping it down outside, when Metcheck said that on that day we’d have 0.0mm of rain! My A**S big time lol!

Superb pics too lol! Especially of the bmi A330, which I will be on to Chicago on Thurday 😀

2% Cloud – My **** (EGCC)

Lol. Reminds me of a statement from the movie Armeggeddon:

Well, our object collision budget allows us to track about 3% of the sky, and begging your pardon, but that’s a big-ass sky!

Dont know why…:D:p

Nice shots by the way, keep up the good work, shame about the cloud!:D:diablo:

Well, you got a wee bit of sun anyway. Sod’s law when you set out on a mission eh ? A shot of the full Qatar would have been nice with that dark sky behind. Sunny subject and dark sky is the biz. Next time you need to bung the met man a bottle of whisky for full sun. 2 – 5% Ha! What do they take us for ?

I like the BMI A330 shot, it looks like a killer whale from front on…;)

All great pics I saw the FR departing DUB early this morning.

The Qatar and XL shots are stunning mate.

James

Cheers Ian!

A – R – S – E
:p

Metcheck is usually the best!

2 shots stand out for me, Qatar is superb and the 1st PIA.

Weather hasn’t helped you with some of those.

****?? 😉

Cheers,
Sam
