Title: City and Aldergrove
Post by: Paultojo on May 25, 2012, 09:48:31 PM
Due to the unusual appearance of the big orange thing in the sky I was out again at BFS last evening and after work today at the City nice to meet Aertank as well

Paul, where exactly do you go spotting at BFS? It looks as if you are capturing the photo as they are taking off! Fantastic photos nonetheless! Might make my way up to BFS or BHD on Sunday seeing as the weather is to be good!

Thanks for that, might just head down to BFS and try out that spot sometime this weekend or I might just venture out to the city airport - yet to decide. Thanks again.

Funny to see several airlines which will not be with us much longer. bmibaby will be gone in June and BMI are in the middle of being replaced by BA. I guess now is the time to catch them before they become extinct :/ Nice shots by the way!

Too true Dave, it really is sad to be seeing them go! :-\

Cheers Dave, that's the general idea to get them with a bit of sun before they are gone
