Thanks very much! I enjoy experimenting with more artistic shots like the Air France sometimes.

I’m no expert on the technical aspects of photography, but that Air France one is a belter. Lovely pictures all round.

So, what were the surprises that the thread title promises?:confused:
Thomas Cook 757-300 is certainly not common. I’m there most weeks and I’ve never seen it.
Manchester always throws up surprises – we are very proud of our local airport. 🙂

Another excellent post pea, love your strip shots! But the scenic Air France is my fave. Great capture at the right moment! Looking forward to your next lot of photos as I know you’ve got some cracking ones! 😀

I’ve never photographed there but Manchester scores over Heathrow in accessibility and the rolling background of hills
