    Thanks again for your kind words.

    Scott, you have to agree though that the British charter airlines do have the best liveries?! Something about them…brings back warm memories of childhood holidays I think.

    Oh and Adam (STN), how come you were in the cockpit of that A330?

    Cheers for all of your very kind words! It is well worth going to the Canary Islands and booking yourself a trip on Binter, and asking for a look in the cockpit during flight. It worked for me, and they didn’t seem to have any problems.

    You may ask what I’m doing up at this ridiculous time of the morning? Well unfortunately it’s time to go to work on the busy bar at STN, so I’ll be back soon…

    Many thanks for the comments so far everyone.

    Stu, the GSM was taken on Thursday 8th.

    Excellent photos. Especially the mountain view from inside the plane. For some reason my shots from the air always end up very blurry/soft. What settings did you use, any use of filters?

    The Palmair 732 does it for me too! Always nice to see a classic. Especially one that has no hush-kit!

    How was your flight on Binter? I keep hearing about them having some unique ways of approaching airports. Brick-like landings and stuff! I assume you survived them? 😉

    Hi Peter. I just used f/5.6 to minimise any marks from the windows appearing on the windows. ISO200, average shutter, no filters.

    Binter were great. And who else would let you in the cockpit inflight?! I couldn’t believe my luck, watching the lights of Lanzarote approach at 11,000ft. Pilots didn’t seem to be the daredevil kind, it was probably one of the smoothest flights of the week.

    And finally, the return.

    Shots into Sun are usually almost impossible through a window, but this time the winglet was on my side 😉 Taken as we approached MAD.

    Then last but not least, the cockpit at the end of a very long journey. A perfect end to a fantastic week.

    The rest from the week..

    This first one was taken whilst eating a pizza in a restaurant about 400m from my hotel. You have to visit this place!

    Brilliant work Paul! What is it with Ryanair sending all of it’s newest types to LBA? I’ve flown on their -800’s more than 30 times, but not even any as new as EI-DL* let alone EI-DP*!
