Luton 17/01

My first visit of the year to Luton, greeted with some decent weather and some interesting traffic.

Wow, what a great day. Good light and great movements! Love the second Seychelles shot and N673BF:D 3 767s at Luton, that rarely happens anymore!

Cheers, Huw:)

Great shots

But sad new about the two Thomsonfly 767-200s… after they returned from lease from Garuda they went onward to the desert i believe. They’ve been great work horses for Thomson since the 1990s. I loved flying on them, powerfull birds, especially G-BYAA and G-BYAB.

Thanks for your comments guys.

Just read on another forum G-BYAB came back from Garuda after a short term Hajj charter and was then withdrawn at Luton. Is apparently due to leave imminently for parting out. RIP G-BYAB 🙁
