I understand it was at Stansted yesterday morning, so I’ll guess you might have seen it. The machine was later seen over AMS. BW Roger

Seen south east uk today
Airliners are not really my thing spotting wise but an unusual engine note will always get me looking skywards.
Unless I am very much mistaken she came directly over my home in north east Essex at 0830 bst today 3rd June. Heading due east towards the Clacton marker, what a sight and sound !
Can anyone confirm my sighting and ID ?

When aircraft are on the ground, with not much speed, I use a monopod under my lens (as camera and lens is 6 kg or so). For take off and flying I just hold it in my hands. Shot at 400 iso , 1/1600 on F4 or 1/1000 on 5.6 I use a digital camera, which enlarges the lens by 1.66 , so my 300 F2.8 turns into a 500 mm. BW Roger

Fantastic shots Roger, I want a 500mm lens too !
Do you use a tripod/panning for the close ups ?:D

Sorry Andrew, I have no website with photo’s on it, nor are they on a.net. All I have is a house filled with over 100.000 slides, and no archive! So, I am happy I can find the shots of last month. That’s why I converted to digital in early January, in the hope I can store and archive those in a better way. BW Roger

Thanks Roger another beaut! Talking of new nose cones, many of the aircraft I saw at LHR yesterday had different coloured cones.
Roger do you have a website at all with your work on it?
Cheers once again mate. Great pic.

Rog… more??? Any time mate, any time! Your photography is great.
Look forward to seeing more of it soon. 🙂

If you want some more, let me know. It is true what I said on Flypast, I took some 3 rolls of slide and some 100 digitals yesterday. Thought this was my only chance to get shots of a “22” and the weather was horrible, so I didn’t take chanches. BW Roger

Hell Yes! Thanks Roger. Very Appreciative of this, as will many others be too.
Great phots. Ditto on what GD1 said… a.net material!
Cheers mate. 🙂
