    Hi Rob
    Had a flying stop at Bristol on my way to Dorset on the 20th August. Managed to find where you spot from, and can see the difficulties there for photography with the fence. At least here at Doncaster our fence holes are a little wider, not a lot but every little helps. I must agree with the comments in the above postings. I have been impressed with most of your previous efforts, but this posting is by far the best you have achieved. One thing, but this is only a preference of my own, when shooting prop jobs, try a slower shutter speed to give a bit more movement in the propellers. At least yours a not completely frozen as is seen on some postings. Seems that you have taken past comments on board. Well done and am looking forward to seeing more from you.
    Keep up the good work. You will not get it right every time (personal experience). You are always learning with this hobby as I well know.
    All the best

    Hi guys. Thanks for all your kind comments. It is very much appreciated. Unfortunately I do not have access airside. If only!! All photos are taken from stepladders or if a rush down there, have to shoot through the fence. We have good relations with with the airport police and are in the process of sounding them out to have mounds positions in some areas. The good news is that they have not rejected this suggestion.

    UPSMD11f have sent you a pm. If you have not received, please post on here.
    Thanks all
    Cheers

    Hey Cloud 9, you have just made me very envious. Shame the company has gone. Each time it turned up here I was always working so all photo opportunities were missed. You win some – you lose some.

    Newforest – It is always nice to see these type of ‘incidents’ as long as they do not reach the next stage. Nearly had a Canberra on top of me in Cyprus – looked up and was looking at the cockpit coming towards me. Ran like hell and it exploded where I was standing. Unfortunately the crew were killed as they had no time to eject. One experience I do not wish to have repeated.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. It is always appreciated.
    Cheers
    Stu.

    Cheers Rob.
    They have just employed a new guy here just for cargo. If his first few weeks are anything to go by, things are looking good. We just need better access to the airport and 24 hour flying and I think he will find his job easier.

    Thanks for the comments guys. It was certainly worth seeing. You could smell the rubber for a good 5 minutes after his final touchdown.
    Thanks for looking

    Thanks once again for the comments. Much appreciated.
    Cloud 9. Thinking that it may be a one off, but as the cargo side is slowly starting to build up, we can live in hope. It is Spanish Cargo EC-KRP and as Newforest has said it has done its rounds. Seaboard World Airlines, VIA SA,
    Flying Tiger Line, Saudia, Fedex, SAS, Swissair, (Airfreight Express when it was registered G-INTL and parked up at Stansted for a while when I saw it)
    All the best

    Thanks for the comments guys and thanks for looking. It was certainly worth the wait to bag this one.

    Hey cloud 9. Don’t mind what I get called. I answer to anything – passed caring at my age mate.

    Hey A330
    These are some of the best shots I have seen from Gibraltar. I was there in 1977 on expedition with the RAF for 3 weeks – your photos have brought back some great memories. I flew civvie on a BA Trident – at the time it was one of the biggest airliners to land there. Having to keep out of Spanish airspace made for one of the best approaches I have ever had. Banking so steep you could look down the funnels of the ships. The landing I think you will know having probably experienced it. You don’t get another chance with the water at both ends.
    Stunnig shots

    Nice to see some shots from a different location. Nice backdrops and nothing to worry about with the heat haze.
    Great work once again Andrew.

    Hi Andrew
    Great shots as usual. Looking forward to seeing tomorrows. Just one query. Do you know why the Northwest dropped in to Heathrow. Was it because of a problem at Gatwick.
    Cheers

    Nice shots mate, really like the images with your wide angle. Dakota before and now this – no offence to Adam but was it really necessary to give people nightmares, kids look at these as well. Great work,

    Excellent report and photos there Paul. Worth keeping in the archives for generations to come. Great work. I was photographing it from the far side which you can see on your first photo. I didn’t take any shots on some of the trips – I just wanted to watch and listen. Pere music.
    Cheers
