More 'backenders' from EDI

Excellent pics as usual. 🙂
I always see one or two when I’m out for lunch. Today it was a FCA B752… 😎

The aircraft in question 🙂 :

The Electra is quite nice

Nice shots

FCA is First Choice Airways formerly Air 2000. Flying Colours and Caledonian merged to become JMC which is now of course Thomas Cook (TCX) You can see the history of the airline in the reg’s of some of it’s aircraft G-FCLA or G-JMCF for example ?

First Choice. From Faro maybe?

FCA used to be Flying Colours, then it became part of JMC/
Excel..? Anyone know the AMM connection?

Now that the 20D is coming out you can buy second hand 10D’s for around £700. Mine was £1100 new so that’s quite a saving.

You know, the nosewheel on the FR B732 is the cleanest part of the aircraft! Look how clean it is…

I didn’t realise the lense was that good! 😀

Lovely shot of the Electra there, never seen one flying at low level, only parked up or going over the top.

I just love the take-offs… those four engines can sure
send out the ‘smoke’ :-))

Excellent shots! I see you got to EDI before the rain came over

I did something right for a change and timed the ‘weather
window’ :rolleyes:

What aircraft is that of the Alantic Airways, I just can’t remember the name….and was it on a mail/cargo run?

It’s a Lockheed L-188C(F) Electra, these freighters normally
operate in the wee small hours as you know.

Also, what lense you got on your 10D?

My main lense is a Canon 80-200mm f2.8L, its old and discontinued but still excellent.

I was looking at a review of the new 20D, it looks mighty fine, with a mighty big price tag also

OK for the pros, the discontinued Canon D30s/D60s coupled with the Canon 70 – 200mm F4 L lense will
give excellent results.

The Canon 300D is also a mean performer.

My back-up camera is a Sony DSC-S70 look at this:

In really bad light!

The Aircraft your asking about is a LOCKHEED L188C ELECTRA Built in 1961 with a C of A until 08/02/2007

Hope this helps
