Kemble 5/1/11

Long time with no Kemble visit, loads of new stuff to photograph.

In via the A433 gate, Scrappers corner had F-GITA -nosecone, tail and engines and a 737 fuselage (Ryanair i think). The Belfast apron had A300 DHL EI-OZA - now missing front of the engines

and JAT Airways Boeing 737-400 YU-AOS

D-Site apron had Air France sister ships A320 F- GHQI and 747 F-GITC

From the AV8 Cafe, veiw accross to the newly arrived Royal Jordanian A310 JY-AGP

Also Air France 747 F-GITB minus engines

and the triplets! Fokker F-27's of Farnair Europe, from left to right HA-FAH

In the middle, HA-FAD

and HA-FAF

Round to the new Lufthansa Training Facility to see if there is anything - only the 2 resident MK Ailrines 747's and the gaggle of Bae146's

And finally on the way out noticed C-47 Skytrain doing engine tests on the grass - a great sight, with clouds of smoke pouring out on start-up.

Bristol Airport 21/10/10

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

Then EI-DWB.

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.
