Well would you believe it? Myself, Mr BT777 and Mr B77W wandered to MAN today and a mysterious ball of burning gas was sat in the sky pretty much all day!
Anyway, some photos… All taken with a Canon 30D and EF 100-400L IS that’s kindly on permanant loan to me from fellow LBAviation photographer Steve Grace. I have to say, I’m extremely impressed by it as well. While I do miss not having less than 100mm at the wide end, having 400mm is fantastic. And, of course, the image quality is superb. I just have to learn how to use it now!
Thanks for driving, Benny. Very much appreciated, as always.
Thanks for looking!

Thankyou again, all!
A quick addition… An EK A380 flew right over us in perfect clear skies and it was the one and only time I’ve ever seen the A380 in the air, so here it is!

It’s amazing what a bit of sunshine can do to photos! Yet another set of excellent shots, Paul. 🙂

I like the two A319 shots the best.
Why does the sun only shine when I’m in work? 🙁

Amazing what you can do with photoshop nowadays 😉
Shhhhh…. People arn’t supposed to know about my special version of PS and its ‘auto sunshine’ feature. I told the Adobe guys I wouldn’t tell anyone about it!
Thankyou for your kind comments, all. 🙂
