Title: BFS freighters
Post by: theflyingcello on April 29, 2014, 08:00:38 PM

Hi folks,


If it's as nice tomorrow night as it is tonight, I'm going to head down to Aldergrove and try out my new lens on the freighters...anyone any idea what time they usually go out at?

Times are approx, best be there 30 mins early.

Code: [Select]

SRR6977  20:00
SWT7006 20:30
TAY014F 20:35

TAY835W 21:00    

which reminds me I haven't updated with the times for the EXS early-evening mail flights.  Paging Callum!

Thanks Smudge  :)


Assuming 25, the railway bridge on British Road should be a nice spot.

Jet2 take off around:

Stansted: 18:30-18:45 & 22:45-23:00
East Midlands: 19:15-19:30 & 22:45-23:00

These are rough times not to sure what the right times are :)

On another note East Midlands is closed to at least 22:00 so EXS001A as had to return to BFS.

 Just saw him cruise south of Ards when I was closing-up out the back.  THanks for the explanation!
