Anyone going spotting this weekend? Need company? Wife away and I'm at a loose end :)

I'd be tempted to meet up on Sunday. The weathers to be terrible on Sunday but I was thinking of nipping down to catch some 'dramatic' departure shots in the wet from the middle level of Ikea carpark. Can't guarentee I'd be there though until the morning. Probably not worth it?

Would you be going in the morning or afternoon? If the weather looks favourable and you fancy meeting up, post here Sunday morning with a time and I'll see you there.

Will do Casper. When I used to spot at BHD on sundays, I usually went at around 10 or 11ish, as the lightings usually good then and the airport activity is busy enough then. The weathers looking alright for tomorrow morning until about midday so will probably head down for 10.30ish, but will post before hand tomorrow. :)

I'll probably be by the fence in front of Ikea, or if it's wet, on the second level of the car park. I should stand out like a sore thumb as the white lens is hard to miss apparently  ;D Cya there!

I could meet you at Killead (the dead end to furniture shop) if you want to go to BFS-Afternoon is probably best but depends on the weather-Sunday 1pm-4pm is usually fairly steady flow of landings.

I only live a mile or 2 away so you can let me know.

What was it you were saying this morning about the difference in writing between the younger and older folk  ;D

Great meeting you Casper, had a good time, thankfully managed to get one decent shot of that BMI A320 in partial livery. Must organise 'Sunday Spotting' more often.

No problem, I know what that's like. Maybe some other time.

Hey Casper, why not have a thread that is a 'stickie' for anyone who wants to post when they will be at BFS or BHD for photos, so that we can immediately see if anyone is up for a meet. ( if there isn't one already that is)

Hi Mark,
I had intended this section for exactly that (and the posting of photos from them). But I didn't want to make one thread  sticky as it could grow into many, many pages.
