Croped this pic so it was a wee bit tighter, also, adjusted the colour a wee to make the fuselage more whiter,used shadow/highlight tool very finely, then finally used USM to sharpen.

Again cropped to make it “tighter”, colour is ok so again just used shadow/highlight to lighten up the underneath, nothing too drastic, finally used USM to again sharpen

If you travel from the AVP, go through the tunnels at the 2nd tunnel you are faced with a roundabout, on the right hand side as you emerge is a set of stairs, follow the path for a quite a distance past the fire station and you’ll be at the rotation point, if you have a car, then, and this is what I did, take the left hand exit at the roundabout, then a sharp right, theres a small wooded lane that leads to the hotel, I think its ok to park your car in the lane, then proceed on foot to the vantage point.

Here’s some from Edinburgh, taken in Jan 06, looking back I wonder why i bothered to stay, couldnt see the runway, and could hardly see stuff taxying, dont rememebr seeing anyone else out this day as well 🙁

I used it last week, got a leaflet at Check-in warning about no facilities, read a big sign before “H” about no facilities and only to go to to your gate when called, worked a treat, straight through the gate onto the plane 🙂 In fact that quick i couldnt see if there are photo opportunities!!
