    Excellent shots. Great to see the Tu204 at EDI again. Was the climb rate of the B762F as agressive as usual? That has to be seen to be believed. 😉

    aye they dont half rotate early!!!

    Excellent stuff,Robert.
    Nice to see the 204 at EDI
    BTW what times roughly do the freighters depart EDI?? Been meaning to try get thru to catch them.

    Maersk is supposed to leave @ approx 20.15ish, TNT @20.45, Bluebird Cargo comes in about 20.00ish, dunno about the DHL 757, this is about the only time of year you’ll get enough light for pics. Also, Skyeurope gets in at 20.30, also, theres the odd other cargo flight.

    cheers

    Great report, Robert. 🙂
    What was the United 747 doing at Hahn?

    Good report there,how did you find FRA main for spotting/photos?

    I had a hire car, so never used the terminal, I believe the viewing area is closed but you can spot from McDonalds, I used a very popular spot down the 07L and 07R end, theres car parking situated between the approach to these runways, just a bit further along is a cracking spot for RW 18, theyre all very popular, I went up the opposite end but the strong sun meant there was a lot haze, the viewing areas are easy to find, if need be if anyone does want directions then e-mail me, FRA was pretty busy with all 3 runways being used, I took approx 450 pics, always a good sign !!! Well recomended for a days photography/spotting 🙂

    Brilliant photos.
    Just one thing, on the photos of FRA, on the last row of photos you said “OE-LTJ ATR42 of Austrian Arrows” when infact its a Dash 8.

    Cheers!! I’ve amended it, I should have gone to SpecSavers :rolleyes:

    It’s definitely TCD, a search on Airliners.net shows a 747 of theirs at Malta, so its not too unusual to see one over western europe, dunno if they are used for Egypt though, the TCD website is guff!!

    Travel City Direct/ Excel B747?

    Had good look, maybe it is TCD, they had one in at MAN on the 7th, I thought they only did flights over to Florida, maybe not!!

    Northwest 747?

    Flying East to west over Germany would rule out Northwest, I’ve had a look at AMS pics but no 747’s look like this one, i thought about Kalitta but it doesnt look right, also, theres no winglets, so its quite old. 😮
