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.

Skybus Twin Otter G-BIHO heading back down to IOS.

Followed by F-GPOD ATR-72 of Air France to Paris.

Plain white BMi Embraer E-145 G-EMBI to Brussels against the ever darkening sky.

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.

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

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.
Followed by a series of Ryanair 737-800's, firstly EI-DYF with Costa Bravo logo
Then EI-EKM departing

And EI-DYL

The last departure for this trip was BH Air (Balkan Holidays) A320 LZ-BHD
The sun setting on another spotting trip, BH Air disappearing into the distance.
