The Sunshine Of Funchal! At Least Mostly Sunshine! 14-20 November '08 – BIG POST!

Hi All,

Just thought Iโ€™d share a fewโ€ฆ Well, no, a lot of photos from a recent trip to the wonderful island of Madeira with fellow forum members and photographers Adam Spalding and Tom Gautier. This was the second time weโ€™ve been to Madeira and again, had a superb time!

Myself and Tom flew out from Stansted on the 14th and were joined by Adam the day after. Here’s G-EZBV with Mr Spalding on board. We were on the viewing desk shooting and having lots of drunken stupidity shortly after this was taken!

Sorry, could you try and add a few more shots in the post next time? :p

Great shots. Sun, beer and planes – what more could you ask for? (scantily clad woman I guess)

I see you even managed to get a few on the front page on JetPhotos.net

My viewing deck shot was top of the last 24 hours for a brief time, whereas Adams version was top of the last 24 hours and top of the last week! Git! He did deserve it though, it was a superb and in a way quite unique shot. For anyone who’s curious, it’s this one!

Cracking shots Paul! What a great place. My favourites have got to be the flyant 737 departing, and the panning close-up shot of CS-TNM arriving. Fantastic stuff.

It’s odd yet beautiful to see aeroplane shots with a backdrop, instead of the usual clutter of fins, pylons, lamps etc.

Nice.

Fantastic shots. What suprises me is the close proximity of the runway to the banking.

Great time was had by all obviously! I like the ‘Ant’, the company currently operating two aircraft and based in Mallorca.

Adam had to leave the day before Tom and I unfortunately to get back to work, but his aircraft departed during our only spell of rain while we were there, so a nice rainbow formed over the top of his A320!

Thanks for an superb time, guys. It really was an awesome week!

And thanks for looking. ๐Ÿ™‚
