BA 747 west, Lufthansa 747 west, American Airlines 757 west, ?? 747 east, Martinair MD11 west, BA 747 west, KLM 777 west, KLM 747 west.

Nice to see a Tri-bird - Martinair MD11F

Poor quality image but could ID all but one 747, an upgrade to a telescope needed perhaps!

Bristol Airport 21/10/10

An exteneded lunch break gave the opertunity to pop in to BRS, weather very changeable, runway 27 in use.

Firstly EI-DPY Ryanair 737-800 on taxiway G, having just landed on 27.

Then EI-DWB.

A quick dash around the other side - EasyJet A319 G-EZDS arriving.

Followed by Aurigny ATR-72 G-COBO.

And Ryanair 737-800 EI-DCS - the second Ryanair of the day with Costa Brava titles.And then the rain came - reducing the visibility from 5+ miles to 1 at best. could just make out Flybe Dash 8-400 G-ECOE through the rain.

And finally EasyJet A319 G-EZAD clearing the runway as it blasts off. Possibly the best conditions for a great image - sun and spray.

Bristol Airport 7/10/10

With emails flying about regards a First Choice 767 damaged at Bristol, I thought I had better check it out.

First Choice G-OOBK Boeing 737-300 with winglets, blue paint marks the damage to upper fuselage and above the nose wheel. It must have been one hell of a landing.

Bristol Airport 25/9/10

An airport pick up is always a good excuse to get some shots! Especially with an Onur Air due. Runway 27 in use, and the sun getting lower by the minute.

First off was EasyJet A319 G-EZBF blasting off into the evening sun.

Followed by my personal favorite Onur Air A321 TC-OAL, complete with black smoke from the engines on approach.
G-EZIE EasyJet A319 blasting past the taxiing Onur.

The sun setting on another spotting trip, BH Air disappearing into the distance.

My Garden 18/9/10

With the Filton Friends and Family day as well as Kemble Battle of Britain hopes of some action paid off.

Vulcan passed on way to Filton heading north to south, seen from a distance, but there no mistaking the shape.

A380 F-WWDD passed directly overhead but just in the low cloud on the way to fly past at Kemble, 30 minutes later returning a few miles south of the house

Later on a Vampire, then a VC-10 very low straight over my head - but no chance to grab the camera.
