Hi all
Had a job to Lisbon last week.. managed a full days shooting at LIS (still working on those, so those to follow) dropped in to a few places on my travels back.
Firstly a morning at La Coruna.. quite a hard place to shoot at, the north facing side is surrounded by buildings and is elevated quite high, luckily there IS a crash gate near the 03 threshhold which is the ONLY place i could find on the south side:








Next i was passing Burgos, not much here, but has a very smart terminal!


Also dropped into Leon Airport, nothing shootable about but what did surprise me was hidden behind trees parked up outside a factory in an unshootable position i spotted a tail looming over the buildings of the factory which at first i thought was a C17!, then i made out the markings on the tail “A400M”!! shame i could’nt find anywhere to shoot it! anyone know why this would be here at Leon?
Finally just before catching Le Tunnel home to Blighty, as the sun was out i thought i’d pop into Le Touquet.. been here before so knew it is quite a busy drome… it has a fantastic small rooftop terrace which is open in summer from 0800-2100





That’s my lot from the trip home.. the LIS shots will follow when i find time to work on them.
Cheers.

Nice selection, you were driving? I was/am fifty km. south of you for a few more days. 🙂

Thanks lads 😀
I had’nt seen a 212 in years, was a bit miffed at missing it taxiing past the crash gate for a better shot! oh well.
