Great Discovery at Southend!

Post by AeroPics » Sat Nov 23, 2013 6:47 pm

A few shots (mostly from today at Southend) with some excellent light.

I'll start with the more mundane:

Another new ATR arriving on the Dublin run:

An old ATR, back in service after being in maintenance for a few months.

One of the Orenair 737s in storage and all taped up end of lease parked in a perfect position:

And now for the Disovery! One of the finest movements at Southend this year in perfect weather for once! The newly re-registered 5N-BQO (ex. OO-VEH with Brussels) departing and returning on a test flight. An excellent livery too!

Backtracking:

Turning around at the end of Runway 06:

And departing:

And finally returning, unfortunately very high on the approach:

Should go on delivery soon! I hopes these are of interest.

Thanks noryport and Woodford. You are quite correct, one of the Orenair 737s was used for East Enders - interesting to see! Just a final one from today (unfortunately with no sun owing to some low cloud) of 5N-BQO departing on delivery to Lagos via Tunis.
