    Fandabbydozie photos there Mr. Wannabe – well done. You seem to be enjoying your new camera.

    Nice new word to the dictionary there! Thanks πŸ˜€

    Great weather today, shame I can’t get up there on my birthday for some more.

    [QUOTE=Ren Frew]Isn’t there some tale of one of the ex-Lufthansa 732’s being haunted by the ghost of a captain who committed suicide on board one dark eery night? Wooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhh!!!! :diablo:
    QUOTE]

    That would be the Kilkenny jet. I didn’t know that it was suicide, all i have been told is that the aircraft was hijacked when it belonged to Lufthansa and the captain happened to be shot by one of the hijackers. :confused:

    Like David Beckham’s son, was she named after the place where she was concieved? πŸ˜€

    Brooklyn (spelling?) I think….

    Incidentally, the odds are quite high for him to call his next son after the town their UK-based house (mansion) is in, Sawbridgeworth. This happens to be 3 miles up the road, and is where I go to school πŸ˜€

    Can’t imagine ‘Sawbridgeworth’ being a very good name for a child though :rolleyes:

    CouldnΒ΄t agree more! And you should not move when it gets a bit darker. If you wait for a bit longer the sunset kicks in, and thatΒ΄s when the real stunning shots get made! Last weekend I made my first attempt at a sunset shot, and it immediately ended up as a screeners choice at JP. Got another sunset in the queue lined up to become my 500th photo at JP.

    Thanks very much for the comments. The only probelm is Tenthije, is that I wa facing the wrong direction to get the sunset in the picture. And Stansted being limited to where you can stand, I wasn’t able to get round the other side to be able to photo it. It may have been possible had they been on the other runway…but then I doubt we’ll be getting many more evenings like this for a while.

    Excellent pictures, my favourite is the Aurigny SD360. Did you see the Air Pristina.Com A320 on Tuesday? Highlight of the week for me.
    You’ve probably already mentioned it but, what sort of Camera have you bought?

    No I didn’t see the Air Pristina unfortunately. I’m using a Minolta Z10.

    Do you spot much at STN? Do you do any of your own photography?

    Brilliant pics, thanks for sharing. Did you see the Cyprus Airways A330 at the weekend? Do you know if this was the first visit for it at STN?

    The Sunday service is now operated by an A330, instead of the normal A320 on weekdays and Saturday. Arrives around 12:20pm, departs again around 2pm. Has been operating the Sunday flight for about 5 months now.

    Here’s a shot I got of it about a month ago, with my old camera (excuse quality) Am still waiting to catch it with my new camera! πŸ˜€
