Hi all, Between painting window sills and sorting out the loft in my house, I managed to get away for a few hours to relax, hope you like them.

Fantastic as per usual Si
I would say the pick of the bunch for me would be the EZY319 lining up on the Rwy.
Keep up and the good work mate

Monty, Which aircraft were you on? That MYT A320 was stuck on the gate for a long time with a few engineers pawing over it!
I was round the Jet2 on stand 19. The MYT got pushed to a remote stand in the end to free the stand for the airports saviour (Continental)

Super shots there Si. Im curious as to how you got airside? for some of those BFS shots!
Hi mate, The shots of the jets moving onto runway 25 were taken in a field up the Killead Road. I am a bit of a cheeky sod in that I spotted the farmer and introduced myself, he then took me to some great little spots as he owns the fields all along the road to the RAF base. The EZY 737 was taken from inside the RAF camp as my daughter is an air engineer up there. The MYT and ramp shots were taken at gate 24 on my way back to England yesterday.
Great panorama of the BFS ramp from this morning! And i was on it then but cant spot myself in the pictures anywhere!

Flybe 146 is great, and may i ask what Camera & lens was use for the contrails? They’re great.
Regards
I am using a 400D with a 100-400 IS USM lens….I love it!
All the best

Great shots si, love the Ezy “AG” holding on the runway with the dull grey clouds, is such a nice looking picture. Also love the airside picture.
Congrats on a productive weekend.

That shot of the under-side of the Flybe BAe 146 is really cool, as are the pics of the transit flights…
