It is a long distance shot from the Footbridge so I put my 1.4x Extender on the 100-400mm for it leaving since I knew it would be quick up with only 60 passengers onboard heading back to Orly.

Here is today’s Air France 747-400 at Edinburgh from a different angle arriving at 11am and departing at 1-15pm.

There’s another AF B747 due on Monday, or so I’m given to understand.

Nice work there! 😀

Indeed there is. What a downbeat atmosphere there will be in the cabin on that flight! :p

Was indeed a great day, especially the AF B744, in previous years it had been B742s, F-GITD it was.

Of course in my day we used to go to Turnhouse to stand on the spectators terrace on the old terminal (when it was still open) to view the assorted delights such as AF caravelles, Catair Connies, DC-6s, Dc-3s and the like. We didn’t know we were born then… 🙁

Nice shots! 😀

Great pics. I think the EAL B732 departed for BFS.
