Hi all!
Having recently got back from uni i couldn’t wait to visit my local airport and see what they had to offer. Southend is hardly the busiest of airports by any means, but there are still a few interesting visitors! I headed down there late afternoon so the lighting is not incredibly high, but this added to the shots in a way. Here goes:
Another 727 in at SEN, a photo to demonstrate just how close they park these things to the fence:
The 727 nose gear:
This is meant to be going to the Bolivian Air Force but looks like the pigeons might have made a home out of it:
The maintenance ramp – behind the Atlas Jet is an AJet 737 – N50089:
An ex-Flybe 146, i think it’s only recently been taken out of service:
A special ‘Centennial Edition’ Cirrus SR22 for the 100 years of flight anniversary:
thanks for looking! 😀

Notice the brakes fitted to the nose wheels of the 727 in the second shot. There aint many aircraft with them fitted!
