Well there had been no clouds in the sky all day and they were on runway 05, perfect for where the sun was shining from. I couldn’t turn down the oppurtunity really 😀 Here’s a selection of the best…first batch here. Second and third batches to follow shortly.

Some of us can’t read and look at photos at the same time :rolleyes: . Still great photos. Might have to go to the row on Sunday for a few?
Yep although Sunday isn’t brilliant. Doesn’t get too interesting until the evening, and then it’s dark for the busiest period around 8pm. I’m afraid the spot where I was at, is only accessible by bike (if you’re a local like me). I suppose you could do it on foot, but it’s atleast 45 mins walk from anywhere nearby which is appropriate to park a car. These are taken down from the 05 holding point, very dodgy with security there too.

G-TACP is BAE’s last corporate 125, all the other have been sold on. they should have kept on making them 😡 .

great photo’s am getting aircraft photography withdrawal symptons!!
Like the 125 (G-TCAP)…has the same colours as the king airs that do the filton shuttle flights so it must belong to BAe Systems.
Yes it does indeed belong to BAe.
Thanks Airline Owner!

Some really very fantastic shots there Dan…really very good!!!!

Thanks EGNM, I have to very quickly rush out. Will reply to your PM shortly. 🙂
LCF24, yes STN does get some good traffic. It’s often overlooked as a Ryanair and Easyjet land, but as you can tell from the photos this isn’t the case. Although it does get a few too many 737’s, which can get tiring.
By: LFC24 - 22nd April 2005 at 17:08
Great shots! STN has cool traffic, doesn’t it? 🙂

Have to agree with loving the 748, but then I am slightly biased!
By: wannabe pilot - 22nd April 2005 at 16:47
All your photo’s are very good but in my humble opinion the photo of the Emerald 748 is the best commercial photo I have EVER seen.
😮 Thanks! Didn’t see it myself, I was actually a bit worried at the time that I was gonna blur it with the low light levels. But what the hell, if you say so then thanks! 😀

Wow, didn’t think they’d recieve that much praise! Glad you all enjoyed them, makes we wanna go out and get more now. Shall hopefully be heading down to LHR or LGW on Sunday, if the weather makes up it’s mind and stays sunny.
