Good quality shots but I find a lot of them TOO full in the frame, like just about right up to the edge of the frame.

I really like the West Air skoda!

Was it not CDG *and* LBG ? As they are both covered by the same prefecture ?

Can any recent visitors to LBG comment for sure ? Any signs on the fences ?

Is it necessary to have a car to get round to the vantage point ? Or is
there public transport that takes you some of the way (like close enough to walk the rest comfortably) ?

I certainly have plenty more shots. Watch this space… it’s just getting
the time to scan them.

There is a selection of others I have scanned on airliners.net – about 3
pages worth. Most are Athens but some other stuff too. I only posted
to here the ones not already on airliners.net Look for “ian woodrow” under
photographer on that site to see the others.

The way Polish Yak 40s USED to look. Scanned from a print (yes a print) I
took at Deblin AB in Poland.

Arghhhh!!! Forgot to say the important thing I was posting about……

Your airport IS Heathrow. Without a doubt! You can see the terminal 5
coming along nicely. And just up a bit and left of there you can see the
six fuel tanks looking like an egg box. Not to mention the huge tower.

Good shots Freddieboyyyy.

These shots you took from the terrace (THY, Aeroflot) … did you have to
use photoshop to adjust any tone or remove reflections ? I mean, how bad
is the tinted glass …. does it make it difficult to take decent moving shots ?
It’s years since I’ve been on the GVA terrace … before it had glass. Last
time I was over (January) we were just outside.

I like those wee A318s. Looks like an inflatable plane you would take on the
beach to chuck around.

PWL Yak40. Good to see they still have them around. but for how long, now
that they are in the EC ? I think it was 042 that I hitched a lift in … before
they changed to red & white scheme and long before they were in the EC !!
Don’t have the flying log to hand here at work. Who cares though, it’s only
a nuuuuuumber.

The Garden Centre place just has the CV440 and the gnat at the moment.
They are planning to make the CV440 into an accommodation, like a B&B with all sorts of trimmings inside.

Peter ….. the place at Cumbernauld is the grassy area you see in front of
you from the “terminal” side. To get there go left from the main buildings,
down the road till the end of runway 26, left through the industrial area and
you’ll come to a small barbed wire fence to keep the animals in. Head up to
the high ground and walk along there to pick your point. it won’t be any good
through the day when it is sunny though because the sun will be in front of
you.

My first flight was early to mid 70s (I can get exact date from my fleeeging
log) in G-AIYR a Dragon Rapide from St Just on a 10 minute pleasure flight
around Lands End area. I think it may have been 1973. The window I was
sitting at had a few choice cracks in it. Welcome to the world of flying,
Woody. Had good deal more good flights since then.

First commercial aircraft I flew in was a Viscount on a long intercontinental
flight between Glasgow and Edinburgh and first jet was a Trident from
Glasgow to Heathrow.

The choppers are of Lothian Helicopters. They don’t live here at the farm but come through when they have city tours on which is usually on a Sunday.
There have been two operating before but normally just one. All depends on how many tours they have booked. They do other tours around here too, like down the Clyde Coast. Listen on the scanner for the helo going through the zone then you’ll know the farm is active.

Great US Air 767 landing shot, with a call to the Dunlop man no doubt on the cards after burning that rubber.

Are they on for good now or will we still get some 757s along with them ? I need shots of them with the winglets still !!

Hmmmm. Started reading your posting and was wondering where in Southern Europe LJLA was…what COUNTRY LJ even was, and what it had to do with the footy in Athens. Then it dawned, as I slapped myself on the head. Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Oh well.

The helipad at Inchinnan is actually on the Bishopton road. Along Barnsford Road from round the back o the airport, left at Red Smiddy roundabout and it’s the first farm on the right. HeliPAD … not PORT (doesnae have customs).
Well Lothian Helicopters called it “Inchinnan Helipad” but it’s just a roped off
field really.

As for matching up with the local bus services. You call Arriva a SERVICE ??

Here’s another shot of the helo turning in to land.

Yeah, the C47 was a football charter taking the team. Funny though, they all seemed to have shorts to just above their knees. Must have been running late.
