Nice shots there! What do you think of the 100-400?, im considering getting one depending what happens with my Bigma. I think the contrail your not sure about is Air Canada o/c.
had a look at the original Raw image, and you are correct ACA A330, could make out the red of the maple leaf

Hi RingwaySam,The lens is worth every penny ,the only down side is you will have to work out and build some muscle in you’re left arm , or get a good tripod,its a bit heavier than my 75-300mm lens
That’s not a problem, i’ve had the Sigma 50-500mm for a year and that’s heavy, think it weighs abit more than the 400mm. Cheers for the info though, i’ll keep looking! 😀

As for the A330,im going to have a look at the original Raw image and see if i can magnify it a bit more and check SBS and Acars logs

Brilliant shots Kevin like the KLM Cityhopper F100. I thought they said it would go back into normal KLC colours a year ago Looks like its the same as the Blue peter BA 757 popluar so they kept it like that.

I seriously doubt that an all white scheme would have people begging to KLM to keep it that way! Probably just hasn’t had any down time for maintenance.
Excellent shots, Kevin. 🙂

Aer Lingus, It has a Green edge it to with the grey underside ( noticed this when fully zoomed in on the image)
Guess what has turned up at Glasgow , just after the light had faded Yep G-CPEM Blue Peter (Sods Law)
Oh right thanks :o. lol 😀 I bet it looks good seeing it in the dark.
