Well… The weather left a lot to be desired, and some inconsiderate fools had erected a new fence right where we wanted to point our cameras, but nonetheless it was an enjoyable day! Huge thanks to Andy (SHAMROCK321) for ferrying us around. Much appreciated!
I ended up with a very poor set of photos from DUB, and I blame this:


Anyway, here are a few random shots from FR and EI City. Some of them complete with fence…








This bmi A321 was taking Dan (Wannabe Pilot) back home

And just to demonstrate the artistic results that can be obtailed by shooting planes from the wrong side of the road:

Well…OK. I guess it could depend on how you define the word ‘artistic’.
This one’s especially for Andrew M. Before anyone asks, no…I don’t know either…

I forgot about these two. Taken with my phone as just after I disembarked EI-DHO at DUB. Probably my best two shots of the day!
Paul
Taken with your phone! 😮 Wow.

unlike BHX.
Wouldn’t surpirse me if they do that on purpose, we all know BHX and FR don’t really like each other! 😀

Great pics. It was a good day. myself,Tom and Stuart were discussing the possibilties of a meet somewhere on the continent over the summer maybe even for a weekend.
So if anyone has any suggestions let us know.
Hmm…A weekend? Yup, I’m up for that!
How does MAD sound? It might make a change from the usual AMS. What are your thoughts guys?

No mate, I was on DHO going out.
Typical T.Boy **** up? Whatever do you mean? :rolleyes:

You got DHO? I had DHO back to EDI. Dear oh dear, so many B738s, so little variety! 😉

Ah that’s good, LBA generally seems to have different aircraft during the week, unlike BHX.
EI-DCL and EI-DLE will do me very nicely Ryanair? ;).
By: PMN - 14th February 2006 at 17:42
Hmmm…. Will I be daring enough to get the Chavex home next week ;).
No Probs about the texts mate, a typical Tboy **** up!
Did you get EI-DHR both ways?

Excellent shots mate!
Can’t believe they have put a fence up! Still looking forward to our jaunt next Tuesday ;).
A long wait for the Chavex 737? What a shock! You must have been really bored to take those shots inside LBA!
P.S – Thanks for replying to my text messages…….. hm…. :D.
Tom…I’m sorry about the texts mate, I was an idiot and didn’t charge my phone the previous night so it died on me. I had to use a payphone at the Interchange to call my taxi home!
The wait by the way was for the 11 o’clock Chavex. There isn’t a 10:30 one!
Future Pilot…Not sure whether you’ve read my last post in the Final Preparations thread or not, but I had EI-DHR to LBA as well! I can’t complain, at least I didn’t get EI-CSO again. Hmm…Hang on a minute…

CSO’s wings were boring and straight when I flew on her TWICE in December. Now they have weird big pointy things on them. GGRRRRRR!

Yeah, as much as I like the look of Zurich it’s not the easiest/cheapest of places to get to from EDI…
But something over a Saturday/Sunday could be a good idea…

Well I know for a fact that myself and Paul will be off to AMS!

Nice set of shots Paul, very nice indeed :D.
Ahhhh my beloved EI-DHR is there :rolleyes: .

LBA at it’s scariest…
By: RIPConcorde - 14th February 2006 at 16:03
I know, I think Dan was on the left of his plane as well! You’re right about the first FR fight being late. Next time I’ll have to look into getting to MAN and getting an earlier flight!
Paul
Yeah he was, 26A I think it was…
By: PMN - 14th February 2006 at 15:38
Nice pics, Paul. It’s a shame that the LBA flight arrives so late! FR should really do something about that, can’t believe they changed the runway just before I departed too! I didn’t actually realise until we were pushing back, with me deliberately sat on the left so I could see you lot. :rolleyes:
That new fence was a ******* too. 😡
