It's been yet another good weekend for me at Southend. As is customary, I must start with an Aer Arann ATR42. This time EI-CPT arriving on Sunday morning from Waterford now in the interim Aer Arann scheme.

I also photographed this former Brussels Airline RJ85 which is in storage without titles and decals on the North Apron.

A Izair A320 made a nice photograph in excellent late afternoon light after at least trying some engine runs. It is apparently due to depart shortly for painting at Bournemouth for Atlas Jet.

And finally, although it strictly shouldn't be in this section, I thought I would share a shot of the brand new terminal at Southend Airport which is now complete and ready to open on Tuesday for passenger traffic. A new dawn for Southend, and this impressive building should hopefully serve the airport as well as the old terminal.

As always, I hope these are of interest!
