Well Gentlemen, after a couple of months away from KP, i have returned:diablo:
Havn’t really been out much, except Gatwick last month, and Dublin month before(Might post these later if people want to see them?)
Anyway, Gatwick, 10th May…Best movement had to be the Cubana IL96….Again…:rolleyes:
















Comments welcome, hopefully you agree i have improved my skills during my absence…
All the best

Ooo Scott talk about cheek! I see no tails cropped off! Stabalisers, yes, tails…no
You mean the horizontal stabilisers? The ‘tail’ is the entire assembly which includes horizontal and vertical stabilisers, so you have cut stabilisers off! 😀 :diablo:
Anyway… I can see what Scotty means actually. Cutting off the horizontal stabilisers works well on certain aircraft at certain angles, but in some cases it can leave the frame without a lot of space to ‘breathe’, and I think that’s what’s happened in some of these. I’d say a couple are slightly too tightly cropped; the EK 777 being probably the best example. That’s a huge and beautiful aircraft. You can really show that either by doing close ups of the front of the aircraft or by showing the whole thing, in all its glory, right in the middle of the frame. For a ‘full on’ shot, try showing the entire aircraft but leaving a little more space at the sides of the frame.
Anyway, generally a pretty good set and you’ve certainly improved. As always, practice makes perfect so stick at it! Feel free to catch me on MSN sometime if I can help.

Welcome back Josh.
Top set of shots again.
If i may……..(i know i have a cheek:dev2:) Some of them a wee bit badly cropped (tail parts missing) and maybe a little bigger (1200×800??) would show them off in their glory better. Nose on shots are brilliant too great work.

Thanks for the comments chaps
Peter, I believe you have asked before, but meh. As far as i am aware, it is now permanent? It operates twice weekly on wednesdays and saturdays….and it arrives between 09:00-11:00 and departs sometime after 13:00…..Hope this helps you, and any others

The Cubana is cool! Is it a regular visitor? If so, what days(s) and time(s). That ilyushin would be good enough for me to do a daytrip on Easyjet!
