London City 3rd September 2007

The spotting photos from LCY taken before we flew to BRU. Weather was good.

An ARJ arrives in AF colours, but with an Irish registration.

It turns off the runway (there are no intricate taxiways at LCY!)

Approaching the terminal.

Nearly there.

Finally it turns round. All planes at LCY have their backs to the terminal when they park to ensure a clear view for ATC.

The same plane leaving.

Air One.

Hybrid BA RJ.

The hybrid leaves.

A regular-coloured BA RJ.

Thanks again for comments.

I was pleased to get the Dornier, that is the first time I’ve bagged a decent shot of one, and you see lots at LCY. I can’t wait to fly from there again.

The white VLM hybrid is certainly different, I have only seen one other (OO-VLL at MAN a couple of years ago). I can’t say I’m too keen, the white and gold on the tail look a bit pale, I prefer more blue.

Some very nice shots there…

I love the ScotAirways Do328. I never flown on it, but just think it is a wicked a/c.

I also like that VLM F50 in the white hybrid livery…does anyone else agree that it looks rather nice, or is white just too boring?!

Thanks James. I love LCY for its ease of viewing, and for someone with a small zoom compact camera, it is easy to get photos because the runway is much closer to the departure lounge than at bigger airports. It is one of my all time favourite airports to fly from.
