After my last succesful trip, I thought I would make a return to LCY before the Olympic chaos around that area of London begins, and also when Runway 27 is in use. I hope I’m not being too repetitive, as these shopts are quite different from my previous ones.
This time the light was also better, however it takes some time to make its way round.
First up the Skywork Dash 8:

Cityjet RJ85 EI-RJA on departure, looking a little worn.

And EI-RJB, ihn the Air France by Cityjet scheme:

One of the numerous BA Embraers powering away:

Whilst the good old RJs look somewhat under powered…

Especially compared to the Lufthansa Embraer, incredibly fast climb:

Blue Island ATR departing to Jersey, a really nice livery on a great aircraft.

One of the many Fokkers departing to a Benelux country.

The Luxair Dash 8, again a really smart livery:

The BA Saab, looking great as always, in fantastic light by now.

And finally the Lufthansa Dash 8 taxiing for departure:

I hope these were of interest, and I’ve tried to avoid duplication of shots from last time. Really is a fantastic place to visit in the evening. Comments, (and also criticisms) are as always welcome.
