Hmm, very strange. Seeing as they’re already receiving 3-5 new 738’s each month. We have loads of FR pilots living on our road, and 3 live oppopsite us. If I see them, I’ll ask them if they know any reasoning behind it.

Don’t worry im permanantly confused :rolleyes: .Sadly not much gets airbourne by the time that get to that spot, its just down to luck. Anything landing is easily graphable. It’s just very muddy at the moment and being south facing would not be much good in the sun. Something that I did not see today. 🙁 . But was a good day out . 37 RYR’s in 3 hours and in the mid afternoon lul.
Also looks like G-IGOZ 737 won’t be around much longer as it arrived in full Corendon.com scheme complete with Turkish flag and tape on G-.

Your best bet on a sunny day, is to head to the same spot later on in the afternoon (in the Summer). A good friend of mine discovered it was possible, with shots like this http://www.airliners.net/open.file/602629/L/

Did you get a shot of IGOZ? Any sighting of the Cable and Wireless FR?

It was on the northside and you do need a car. From the old terminal entrance turn right and follow the road through the village and then after a mile you will see loads of cars parked on the right. From here you are opposite cargo and can see all movements. Police dont seem to mind everybody parking on the road.

Ah sorry I was under the impression they were on RWY23 today, that’s why I was confused. I know where you were, I’ve never really tried that spot when they’re on 05. I’ve been there whilst on 23 and it’s useless, because the ground between where you stand and the runway is raised.

You don’t need a car, it’s what I got my bike for! :p 😉

Nice ones there. Where’d you go for the STN shots? It looks like somewhere along the South side near to the ex-FLS hangar. Did you have a car with you?

It was definitely well written, must have been a very talented journalist. But I seem to rememeber more quotes about how many spots you had on your face, or information about the suit you were wearing! :p

Martin, I saw you in The Times feature from last week, looking very cool sat on the step of one of the aircraft! Nice article…although they seemed more interested in what you looked like, rather than the actual airline!

I posted this one a couple of months back, but incase you hadn’t seen it…this wasn’t much bigger than a small money spider.
