    Cheers for the comments lads.:)
    T5 i fully agree with you, it is a vast,soulless place,as you say everything is so cheap, and a highly efficient airport,it does what it says on the tin!! Definitely better than navigating around the 3 terminals at Don Muang, it is really odd to taxi past all those a/c stands and piers lying vacant.
    I never realised the death toll had risen,thanks.
    Mark: Cheers hehe i am quite happy in cattle class, guess it’s what i’m used to, the budget has to come before comfort for me, however, very odd to see on the 2 EK flights from/to Glasgow the Biz section had every seat filled, and us poor minions in cattle had to make do with a full Y row each:D 😀 :dev2:
    Cheers Josh: Well this was a very rare experience for me, only fair to share my experiences in the hope it may assist someone else, Will get on to the shots maybe tomorrow.
    Paul: Cheers! yes the moving of the wreckage is a bit mental, but,there you go, as for the crash site, i only seen it on my first departure, just like a large rip in the side of the hill(an observation i noticed is the spot where it crashed is a long way before where i touched down both times,guessing it was very close to the ground before passing the piano keys, all landings i observed touching down about 1/4 of the way down the runway!)
    Thanks again guys, a/c photos soon.:)

    Nice wee set there, I’ve visited Coloummiers also on a work jolly, and Lyon many times, you can get great shots from the cargo area right by the TAT (AF Regional) hangar, and there is a “mound” way along at the hold for 18R.

    This is a real tragedy, and, i think, i may have been granted a pardon, as i am in Asia just now (in Taipei at the minute), i reversed the order of my various trips, and was originally planning to be on OG269 on sunday, but, will now be flying the route in 10 days. Had several texts from back home asking if i was ok!!(at the time i had’nt heard about the tragedy) Guess someone is looking out for me!,I was in the departure lounge at Kinmen in Taiwan earlier today, and the TV news was showing footage and detailed analysis of the crash on a news channel repeatedly! Not the kind of TV i feel folks about to board a plane want to see?!?, from what i could understand they think it was a “micro storm” a very sudden and strong wind shear.
