dark light

Weds along the north of England

A visit to NCL this afternoon, lovely sunny weather, which, invariably changed, one or two real goodies, but, quite quiet so had a fiddle with the cam settings, so some odd results:
A real beaut, but, no sign of movement..Finnair 757 with winglets…very nice indeed:

Then the heavens REALLY opened, hail stone golf balls scudding off of the Thomson 737 on take off:

Then a run west to Carlisle.. Eddie Stobart has a new hangar here, and has recently acquired Beech 400 G-STOB, but, not to be seen unfortunately, so just shot a couple that were milling around:

A hangar of microlighty stuff:

A wee Tomahawk:

And finally, had to do a bit of surfing to find out what this little beastie is: It is an Ikarus C42 classed as a microlight..yours for a snip at:£41,802 including VAT (comes complete with friendly waving pilot:rolleyes: )

Nice shots…haven’t seen a Vulcan since an air show here in the sixties featuring one from the Blue steel Command doing a fly in display and out all quite hush hush as to where it came from and where it was going

Cheers Luke
IIRC there was maybe 2 Thomson 757’s and the 737, also 2 Jet 2 757’s and a 737.
Nice one having the Finnair based… look forward to some decent shots of her, think it looks awesome with the winglets.:D
No luck to the poor sod driving the catering truck 😮

Great shots from my locals hehe.

Love the Finnair 757. She is based at NCL for the summer.

Was a Thomson fly 757 in by any chance.

I heard a catering truck put a hole in one last night.
