Amsterdam Schiphol - Runway 18L Lineups and Terrace 04-03-25
Hello all, My first visit to Schiphol since about 2018/2019 was glad to be back for a weeks holiday at the Ibis, and having done the spots I usually do I realise I really need to update my guide to getting around on public transport, as routes have changed and paying on the bus is easier than it use...

Birmingham Airport with AN-12 31st Jan 2025
Just a handful of pics from me, I was working a Young Voices trip to the NEC Birmingham on Friday 31st Jan, so being parked up for 8 hours meant I could stroll over to the monorail and walk over to the viewing point at the car park, bought the camera along and notepad mostly with the intention just ...

London Heathrow - Sunday 13th November 2024 - 09L arrivals
Hello all, Travelled to Heathrow on Sunday 13th November to try shots of 09L arrivals at Colne Valley Heathrow Nature Reservation site, it was a new location for me, and being a cloudy and cold day didn't make for any nice pictures so don't get too excited :lol: Thing is I looked at XCweather the da...

Re: Warsaw/Yerevan trip 11/23
Cracking set
Nice different variety and some things we'll never see over in the EU again (Redwing, UTair etc) I can imagine it was strange collecting RA serials!
Weather at Warsaw looked absolutely dismal! Didn't know there was a viewing deck of any description there

Re: Stansted 24-02-2023
Excellent set as always Andy! One day I'll actually get round to staying at a hotel at Stansted and doing a couple of days there! Still has a good mix there I see, that Malta new livery looks quite nice actually. Also not going to lie but that Pegasus A321 looks so long I thought it was a 757 at a v...

Luton Airport 21st September 2022
Hello All, Had a week in Luton in September, everyone told me "why the heck would you stay in Luton?" Well it wasn't IN Luton, it was just outside the airport, brilliant base for the week and on the Wednesday had a lazy day spotting arrivals, a good mix of the usual stuff and Bizjets, plus the bonus...

Hello, I know this is already on here but I thought as I've just got round to doing the photo's I'll post my Beluga XL pics up from RIAT 2022. I must admit I thought this was flying with the Red Arrows as they turned up with the Voyager so I assumed the Beluga was cancelled but was happy when it tur...

Compton Abbas Pooleys day 22-05-22
Hello all, Having not been to Compton Abbas for a good 3 years or so, I somehow stumbled across this event online a few days before hand. The Pooleys event seemed to be more of an 'executive members' thing rather than a day for spotters, I did wonder if it was private but it said the public is welco...

London Heathrow Nikon D810 test 13-05-22 Part 2
Hello all, Continuing on from Part 1, here is the second set moving on into the late afternoon/early evening. Also for the last hour or two I switched over to the Tamron 18-200 lens, which made my camera weigh like paper after taking off the 600 lens :lol: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5210799...

Re: London Heathrow Nikon D810 test 13-05-22 Part 1
Thank you! I'll post part 2 soon, but yes I saw on reviews how heavier the Sport is, and the contemporary is still good enough so I went for that on that basis! Any recommended straps or they all pretty similar? I certainly felt it in my arms near the end of the day, though I did change over to a 30...

London Heathrow Nikon D810 test 13-05-22 Part 1
Hello all, Early in May I spent a lot of money treating myself to a second hand Nikon D810 and a new Sigma 150-600m contemporary lens. I have been using the Nikon D5500, which I still have, but this D810 is my first step onto the full frame camera range, and what a beast it is! Coupled up with the S...

Re: Heathrow 20-03-2022

Cargojet was a regular operation from the pandemic IIR...
