Bit late Matt but a very nice selection 🙂

It is a -300 Shadow1.
Thanks for the kind comments and help on the Swiss editing!

Those are great shots! The BA 737 looks nice as does the BA A320.
Qhick question however, is that a -300series cargo conversion on that Dragonair 747 freighter?

I’m afraid I can’t, Wannabe. I took the photo that close up, and cut out part of the right wing. 😮

To be honest I think that the last shot of the Swiss 146 would be the best of the lot if it were cropped just a little less tightly.
Agreed, crop the left of the frame so that you can just see both engines on the right-hand wing. Then crop the right of the frame so that it comes in just to the right of the wing’s spoiler. Then leave a little space at the bottom and tops of the frame. Would come out very nicely!

Here’s 3 more shots, not the best quality but I thought I’d show you anyway!:

Thanks mate! I didn’t actually intend to get anything else in the picture but the aircraft, but the spotter was there so I kept him there :p

The best you’ve posted so far mate – well done!
Love the 5th shot with the Dragon Air vs Spotter 😀

You’re even making Grey Area jealous 😀

Thanks very much Alex & Tom

Easily your best shots yet in my view, especially the Baby 737 and BA A320 :).
By: green320 - 10th December 2005 at 20:00
They’re you best shots yet Matt! Well done.
