Seven from Stansted

Hi all,

I dropped into Stansted for an hour or two a couple of weeks ago, mainly to catch the new Air Asia X A340 from Kuala Lumpur. Although the sun was out, so was the haze, though I was pleased with the photos I got. So here’s 9M-XAB, a smart new Bulgarian Challenger, plus a trio of Stansted regulars –

Thanks for your kind feedback guys – much appreciated 🙂

Alex – Haha, well ten years ago I was spending most of my weekend there! If you do a search on A.net you’ll find some of my first photos from STN in ’98 and ’99. It’s sad how the times (and airlines and aircraft) move on though I’ll always be grateful that someone invented the digital camera!

Dan – Yes that’s the one, it’s the big mound on the other side of the hedge directly opposite the entrance to the Hilton. It’s got a great view of the 05 threshold as you can see. Parking is a real hassle but I think the Hilton gives you an hour free before the charges start to rack up. And for what it’s worth, its one of the few places around STN that I’ve never been stopped! Check it out again if you can 🙂

Thanks again,

Adam

Excellent work Adam, nice to see that A340 out my bedroom every day!

I’d like to say I know my way round STN pretty well but even I can’t work out where those were taken….is it at the RWY05 hold on that big mound to the North side of the runway? I stood there for 5 mins once and got ‘stop-and searched’ by the police, have never tried it since.

Nice. Hope to see that at MAN in the absence of the Singapore with it’s reduced services from May. We don’t see many A340’s Th’up North.:)

Really nice shots Adam! Nice selection of vantage points there. You certainly know your way around STN and it definitely pays off with the quality of images.
