Hi all
Nice to have some decent weather when i’m away on a job…..2 hours at Luton produced:








Possibly the first BD100 on the British register??? (first i’ve seen anyway)

And finally……………
Thought Luton was Easyland??? Monarch taking over 😀 :
Cheers the noo!

Nice shots Tartan and Mark! What’s it like for parking round that shot?
Not too bad… i drive a Luton van(very apt!!) and get it parked there no probs(apart from having to go up in reverse, due to being too long to get turned), there is a small area that could prob park 6 or 7 cars and a few lay by type bits on the approach road.
Good shots Mark and no problem at all, though they warrant a thread of their own 😀 The Yugo Citation is a stoater!! good job!

Lovely shots – Nice location for taking shots that one.
I think I may have to have a day off sometime and see if Dad wants to go again…

Cheers for info 🙂

If my guess is right they were taken at the emergency gate were the TV show airport allways goes to take the micheal:D Am i right Tartan???
It is at an Emergency gate access road opposite side of the runway from the terminal indeed, however, i’ve never seen the “airport” tv show (honest!!) so can’t help with that 😮
Nice shots, what’s that all about BA levy on the ryanair?
(sorry if it sounds like a silly question 🙁 )
Not a silly question at all,Monkey, (thats why the forum is so good 😀 )
The following link should explain a bit more for you… basically just another RYR “lets have a pop at a rival” logojet, am sure this ones been about for quite a time…

Very nice. Did not know you could get close to the runway at LTN. Maybe something to try next summer. Is that spot accesible by foot/public transport from the terminal?
Pieter:
I doubt you will get any public transport to the spot, it is very remote and quite a distance from the terminal,unfortunately, Only thing i could think of would be a taxi (maybe 5 miles) or a kind soul from the forum who may be able to take you round, It is by far the best (only?) spot for runway shots with the sun behind you, it has a quite high police presence, with them popping in and out fairly regularly,but,offer no hassle as long as you arent doing silly fence climbing etc..
Thanks for the comments everyone 😀

Home of BY/THOM
You are quite correct abt Thomson (Formerly Britannia) – I did my training at LTN back in the 80’s
The good old days of BY 737’s – G-AXNC, G-BAZI, G-BGYL & G-BJCU etc….the list goes on…
Happy days!

Yes, MON head office is at Luton, there was another 321 and 320 out of shot also (with an A320 going OTT).

Great work Tartan (not sure I know your name 😮 )
