Great shots Jason – thought about going up to NCL myself yesterday given the bright weather but didn’t make it. Love the Citation shot.
It’s a shame easy couldn’t send us a newer A319 on Tuesday’s swap-over!

Stunning shots Tony – what an interesting mix of traffic for Luton! Great work.
Adam
Fantastic shots Sam. Lovely and crisp, and the morning sunlight works really well on the line-ups. Indeed, hard to see how or why your camera doesn’t like the sun…? As commented before, apart from a few being a little under-exposed (lighten shadows?), they look absolutely great.

Nice shots Robbie, they have a lovely spring-time feel to them. They’re great in terms of quality, and composition is good too. They’d definitely benefit from a tighter crop though.
Out of interest, what camera/lens are you using?
Adam
Brilliant shots Tom – fantastic aircraft in lovely sunshine! Great work.
Adam
Thanks for all your feedback and kind comments guys – it’s much appreciated 🙂 We were treated to another crisp and clear morning up here at NCL again today, will post some shots shortly…
Adam
Great shots Phil, looks like you had some very clear weather this morning. Love the shot of PH-KZG lining up with the estuary in the background. The CO is a great capture as well!
Cheers, Adam
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.
Adam
A great set of photos Matt! I’ve really enjoyed looking at the others on your site too. Unfortunately it was a location that I never made it to.
How things change in 6 years!

Thank you, all, for all your feedback – it’s much appreciated.
Adam
Cheers guys, glad you like!
Also, do you know who owns/operates the all white Fokker50 you saw? I can see it has a Dutch registration on it, could it be Denim Air on a charter/ad-hoc flight at all?
It came in for Wideroe, from Stavanger – a pleasant surprise even if it was all white.
The E195 was most likely on the SOU, EXT or even the BHD run.
Yup I think it was in from BHD.
Thanks for your kind feedback Rob – the Air Southwest scheme is certainly a smart one!
Here’s a couple more from Newcastle this morning (27th Oct)…
First up, BA’s latest A320 – G-EUUZ – which was delivered only 6 days ago…

And secondly, one of the ex. Wideroe/SAS Q400s now flying for Flybe – G-ECOY (ex. LN-RDG) – which was delivered on the 30th September…

Cheers,
Adam
Great photos Paul, and great weather! I’m surprised you saw so much in 2 and 1/2 hours – EMA must have got a lot busier in recently!
Did you need a step ladder to get over the fence for these?
Adam
After the run of landing incidents at SAS with the aircraft last year, didn’t SAS (effectively on behalf of Wideroe and AirBaltic) announce that they would only operate new-build NextGen Q400s in future, which I believe have a modified landing gear assembly?
It seems to me that Flybe, who appear to have every confidence in the original Q400 but are also presently taking delivery of numerous NextGen Q400s, have spotted an opportunity to make a quick buck from SAS who can’t get their hands on the NextGen Q400 quick enough?
Cheers, Adam
Actually, it might not be all bad…
Other forums indicating that CO will be back to operate a seasonal/summer-only service between LGW and CLE. The CO press release specifically refers to an end to “year-round operations at Gatwick”.
