Right well another big thanks to everyone for a great day, was very enjoyable and we must do it again! 😀 Here’s my short selection, sorry for the overload of EI and FR but they did produce some nice shots 😎 .
Still learning the wonders of the 350D and I’m getting better (I hope!), some are better than others. Enjoy all!






Here we have Stuart heading back to EDI after taking off on the wrong runway, he should explain all if you don’t know. 😉

Ditto Dan! the combination of the old dark bmi livery and the sun going behind a cloud made the pictures worse.

Great shots Tom! Really like that EI320 taking off with it’s gear going up. I’m haven’t looked at any of my shots yet…I’ll have a quick edit of a few of them in a minute.
Thanks Dan, that was one of my favourites – they really varied as some were just plain crap. You must have quite a few anyway?!
Thanks again people :).

I should’ve know there would be a newer one by now! After all, it’s been a whole 4 days since DLE was delivered! 😉
Actually, -DLG is ferrying BFI-YYC-DUB today too! 😀

Fantastic shots there Tom.
One thing to get used to on DSLR is dust on the sensor !!!!
I think there’s a tiny speck on yours at the moment! It’s in the same position on all of the shots.
On the A330 shot it’s directly above the nearest engine cowling.
A very easy way to see where the spots are:-
open the image in Photoshop or PSP. change the LEVELS, make sure preview is turned on to see the realtime changes. Drag the LEFT slider to the right, as the image darkens, you’ll see Mr Dust.
One of the downfalls of DSLR’s :-(. I must have cleaned mine 3 times in the past month!

Indeed you are right mate,if I was honest I only noticed it on the bmi A321. Well that’s grand, got loads in the JP.net queue as possible rejections for dust spots! 😀 :rolleyes:
Ta for pointing it out anyway 😉 🙂 .

Great shots dude.
Anyone know what date DLE went into service? It was spotless.
I have never seen the mechanics under the air brakes shining before!

I know what you mean Craig, certainly gives it the bizjet kind of look but spend a few hours at DUB and you’ll never want to see one again! 😀
Great shots Tom! I’m not even going to bother posting mine what with all this expensive kit floating around
Yes Mark, I must admit I wouldn’t mind seeing everyone’s shots!

What?! Post some photos Mark… They can’t possibly be any worse than mine were!

Brilliant Photos Tom. I definately think the B737 looks better without “Eyebrow” windows.

No one has mentioned how carp dub spotting is now since they replaced 6 foot fence with a 10 foot fence!!! Still pics possible but only from one small mound that the 10 or so of us just fitted on.
I’m sure I did, but just incase I didn’t, or you missed it:
It was extremely annoying! Especially as they left the old fence there so you realised what it could’ve been like, so yes that fence was most inconvenient! 😡
There we go. 😉
