Yesterday after many times of trying to shoot some of the low flying mil stuff that buzzes the M6 in Cumbria(spent many visits to the wee car park and waited in vain for nothing!!) just caught a couple of Herks zooming through the valley, hurriedly grabbed the camera… shot about 40, then realised the settings were completely wrong!!! Aarghhh!! oh well, the photoshopped results below (Sorry for the mil mods):



And finally to today, a very quiet work day and some decent light resulted in the below at Glasgow:







A couple of shots of Loganair Saab in BA colours…. Get ’em while you can…. noticed there are now a couple in basic Flybe colours:


Then i headed for the hills to a good vantage point for getting 05 landings in the great scenery;




after a runway change even managed to get the EK coming back out from the hills:

Thats ma lot!!

Thanks lads
The RYR was circling overhead for a couple of times before making it’s approach, it just looked like a normal speed landing, did notice the airbrakes deployed before hitting the deck, and, it touched down very sharp… not long after the piano keys and the reversers deployed sharp too. A great job by the crew to make it really a non event thankfully.

Thanks guys.
Yes Andy it was me in the mean machine I saw you guys on my left and was sure I saw you too Josh, actually i’d said to my partner that I bet some of the guys at the garage were off of the forum! great weather indeed for shooting,just a shame it gets dark so early.

Sunday… After doing a river cruise in the morning (You can take the spotter out the airport… yadda ..yadda.. yadda)

A drop back in to the petrol station to fill up, and grab another half hour shooting:

Then a jump into Luton before the sun went to bed:

Then off to home for us.
