Well you heard all bout my trips, at last the film has come back and i have scanned some of them, sorry they r not GOOD quality but they’ll do!
1. My bmi A321 G-MIDL to LHR at a dreadful MAN
2. The view of the AVP with all the exibits on show, nearly no one there, no suprise, thinking of the conditions that day!
3. G-JEBC at a sunny and HOT GCI!
4. Landing @ CGN in a Germanwings A320 from LGW
5. Two 4U A319’s standing at now a wet Adenhauer Airport
6. The Dreamliner c/s on the 737-900 @ Farnborough ( i was there on a trade day, and look how many people are there! Nearly none!)
7. The A346 landing on 24
8. The SAA 744 doing the display
As i say these are only a selection and i have much more which will be uploaded tomorrow on the link in my Signature 😉

Not impressed, NCLRULES? 😀
It stretches from the white buildings on the left across to the car-park on the right and beyond, and includes the 146, Concorde and DC10 nose.
Bearing in mind the other official viewing area on the top of Terminal 1 car-park (my own favoured haunt), I have to ask you where you’d find more impressive facilities in the whole of the UK than at MAN. :confused:
Yep totally agree, that picture doesent show half of the viewing park, the viewing mounds, the big expanse of grass where people sit. If you find a better place than that, id like you to show me it. Believe me, if you go you will be impressed.

Excellent pics 🙂 I saw HB-JAX when I was at MAN, but that was 8 days ago…..

Thanks for all the comments guys, i might just post a few more for you tomorrow, and Grey Area, i’ll follow your “constructive critism” and will put the lens right near to the glass next time 😀
The Swiss trip photos has just been sent to be developed so i’ll post them here hopefully by next week!

Some nice pics from Farnborough there. 🙂
We pulled up next to G-MIDL when we got back from our GLA trip. :p

Excellent shots!
For all four trips I have made with bmi, I have wanted G-MIDL. Instead, I’ve ended up with G-MIDK (twice), G-MIDM and G-MIDJ!

Very nice photos bmi-star!

Not bad at all, bmi-star. If I may offer a little constructive criticism, you may want to watch the reflections from windows when shooting through glass.
If you get the lens of the camera as close as you can to the glass, this will get rid of at least some of the problem. 🙂

Ah right, just thought I would ask in case it was the one you flew!
By: bmi-star - 8th August 2004 at 18:49
I flew HB-JAO on 31/7 and HB-JAM 7/8, yesturday of course
By: LBARULES - 8th August 2004 at 18:46
BTW – What was the reg of your Swiss ERJ you flew on? I saw HB-JAX at MAN thats all.
By: bmi-star - 8th August 2004 at 18:43
Thanks Tom, tbh i thought the AVP shot would be crap as it was pouring down at the time!

Great shots mate, especially the FlyBe and view out of the window of MAN avp.:)
