How about this for Newcastle, our first VIP 747.

Hopefully some better photos from me over the next year, got a new Fuji S9500 today for my birthday.

Awesome image mate rumour has it the shiek who owns that rather nice jet is due back some time in the new year.

I usually fail when I make my way to MAN to see an Antonov aircraft, but this time… 😀

For EIN the choise is between an Air Mauritius ATR 72 and the Antonov 225. Am going for the Antonov for best movement:

For AMS the best visitor that I spotted was the Canadian North F100, fresh from the paint shop. And thankfully still in PH-LMV registration, a reg I had been hunting for since KLM Cityhopper parked the plane a year or so earlier. Close second is the Great Wall Cargo 747F, the airline had two planes but lasted only a few weeks before being forced to liquidate due to political wrangling. Managed to get both planes!

For me down LGW the only one that pops into mind for me is LV-BBN which operated the connection to madrid for a few months. (I didn’t take the pic. :D)

Well I’ve picked 4! as it’s hard for me to narrow it down…

We had plenty of visits from these other the Winter 05/06 period but most were on work days or just not compatible days except this one! January 21st we had two in at the same time but of the course the problem was they departed at around 6am or something.

Delays are a good thing sometimes :D.

This was in town to pick up a Russian orchastra who played in town! a great sight.

I know for many of you Conti 764s are nothing special but BHX tends to be an all 752 operation and I have to grab my chance when they occasionly bump up a flight to larger equipment. The weather was a bonus :cool:!

Last but not least is thie beauty, operating in place of a tech TOM 763 and I certainly wasnt complaining but 5am starts back then were something of a new thing for me 😉 . It was worth it……:D

Tom :).

Hmm… off the top of my head probably the AF B744 that visited for the rugby at EDI. Unfortunately I only got pics of it on my phone, atleast they’re airside which makes them worthwhile.;)
