Well its about time we got a bit of good/hot weather. Headed to Glasgow where we were faced by a verocious heat haze which always isn’t good for the photos. Anyway this is what I saved from a smashing day out with Rab and a few other photographers at Glasgows 05 touchdowns point.
Onur Air’s A300 touches down hard on 05..
Icelandair 757 about to flare on 05..
Flybe’s Dash-8 sporting the new Eco-friendly scheme. Ready for departure 05.
Virgin’s 747-400 holding for departure on 05..
Class! a mid-air race between LTH 340 (left) and KLM 744 (right)..
Balkan A320 ready for departure runway 05..
Excel holding on 05 ready for departure..
Globespan’s new edition G-MSJF, touching down on 05..
Visitor of the day! USAF C-130 touches down on 05..
This Zoom almost burst it’s tyres on touchdown! a bang could be heard.
XL.com 747-200 on finals for 05..
Safely down with reversers and speed brake on..
An early rotaion from Zoom, going out empty to Aldergrove..
BMI Baby slowing on 05, with a busy background..
And finally EK turning onto 05 for departure to Dubai..
Thanks for viewing.. 🙂

Some nice shots there Jamie. A lot of these “bits of planes” shots don’t work … it is all the rage these days with the digi folk and a lot of the time they don’t review the results to see if they really work. The Onur Air WORKS!
Just right there with the smokey action. I’m still chasing that green FlyBE Dash 8. Much of the time WORK gets in the way but on Sunday the River Festival got in the way. Also haven’t shot the Virgin at GLA. That would have been good getting out on 05 in the sun. Call me a slacko then. 🙂

What file sizes are your pics, it took me ages to view them all and that’s with a fast broadband connection…? Anyone else finding the site slow generally just now ?

Great shots Jamie.
The TCD is actually a 747-300 and not a 200. Lol
