Fantastic report Paul, I would do anything to have seen all that!
Nice one Scotty, you can get southside by car and only a 2 second walk to the mound (further down to the left from you were) It’s a 10 min drive into the country, mind you don’t know how you would park an Extra Long Sprinter Van there :confused:
Brilliant Paul, looks like you hit gold! Of all the times I have been there, only once have the landers been in that direction and I was lucky to be at the same spot as you with great weather as well. The spot you were at is just perfect for photography!
Did you get the IS version of the 70-200 F4?

..some nice shots, esp the Korean and the 380
Heyy!
Sorry for the double post, but I just found out that there is apparently A Third Dreamlifter Being Assembled / built. So this could mean more regular visits from it at Prestwick?
Can’t wait. 😉

There should be one of them sitting there right now;)
The CRJ was taking a small group of people to Murcia, it’s due back tonight at 22:50

I agree with PNM’s first reply 100%. There are no iffs and buts, buying a more expensive camera will not automatically gurantee better results. There are so many people out there who buy a DSLR, put it into Auto or Programme mode and hope for the best! Don’t get me wrong, the odd time you will get a half decent shot, most of the time the results will be very average.
Do me one thing, learn all about how to use Shutter Priority and Aperture Priority Modes, learn what they mean and what they will do, this will guarantee better photos!!
That AN12 looks suspiciously like the ex-Vega new livery? The blue version of there’s! Is this true or am I thinking of something completely different??!! 🙂
It used to belong to Vega, LZ-VEC C/N 6344610

Sam,
There is also a Premier Inn & a Travel Lodge within 5 minutes of the terminal building. If you want to know the best places for photo’s, I dare say that some of the locals would be more than happy to show you around.
Have a look at http://www.egpk.com for info as well
Nice stuff Damian.
I thought the DC10 was away, i shot it on thursday night in poor light. Knew about the AN12, but thought it would be in standard bland white scheme 😡 my miss.
good work.
It’s usually me who misses the good ones mate, glad I got this one 🙂
Thanks for the comments everyone
To the best of my knowledge, the 146 was going to new owners, I’ll try and confirm this 100%
Nice work there! 🙂
I changed the thread title because I’m not a cruel man by nature……. 😎
Thanks Lance, I never noticed it earlier, the excitement of Christmas got the better of me 🙂 Thanks for the comments everyone,
Great shots Kevin!! They bring back great memories of my trip there earlier in the year. Looking forward to more of the same! Who did you fly out there with?
Top stuff matey, when I was there a few months ago, I had the same horrible hazy conditions, fond memories of all those A/C 😉 Great trip report as well, looking forward to more photos!
Great trip report mate, excellent reading there, looking forward to the photos now!
