Fantastic pictures everyone! Brilliant, love them all! Particularly from our in-house pilots, we’re very lucky here. Please feel free to post more, the more the better! 😀

Thanks a lot LBARULES! That was about it really for last night, I do have 2 more but I don’t think this is really the appropriate thread for posting them………I love sunset!

I will post some pics but I have lost the programme Ren told me about. It reduces the size of the pics…It’s called infra somthing.

Anyone know what the hell I am on about????

This is one of the clearest shots I’ve taken, especially when it was through terminal glass. At GLA in December (full size version can be seen on jetphotos, below)

Well I now have some expert advice on what has happened here! My dad’s in from work and I got him to take a look at it, him being a tug driver ‘n all. The best explanation that he can give is that the tug has jack-knifed on push back. The shear pins didn’t snap, as they would be expected to, and so the bar bent round. As the bar bent the tug carried on moving round and crushed against the side of the bar, thus the reason for the borken wheel.

And the bar is that of an Airbus, can be used on a variety, but most likely to be A320 or A319.

They’re also due to start serving STN this summer.

With regards to Manston, I’m quite pleased to see the airport getting a proper operator! It has great potential, and I think it’d do much better than trying to build a brand new airport in the South East.

very nice, looks very high too! Whether those lights are operational or not, but it looks like 4 whites to me :confused:

I’ve had plenty a flying lesson at Stapleford airfield, but never flown a Piper. It’s great, as I’ve made lots of pilot connections aswell through spending time on the airfield. One pilot I’ve met, has taken me up several times in his own Grumman Lynx aircraft, quite aerobatic too! 😀

Pic taken by me from the Stnatsed control tower, ADB An-124 pushing back. What an experience that was to watch take-off! Sorry about the quality, bad weather!
