If you want some more, let me know. It is true what I said on Flypast, I took some 3 rolls of slide and some 100 digitals yesterday. Thought this was my only chance to get shots of a "22" and the weather was horrible, so I didn't take chanches. BW Roger

Thanks Roger another beaut! Talking of new nose cones, many of the aircraft I saw at LHR yesterday had different coloured cones.

Roger do you have a website at all with your work on it?

Cheers once again mate. Great pic.

Sorry Andrew, I have no website with photo's on it, nor are they on a.net. All I have is a house filled with over 100.000 slides, and no archive! So, I am happy I can find the shots of last month. That's why I converted to digital in early January, in the hope I can store and archive those in a better way. BW Roger

Fantastic shots Roger, I want a 500mm lens too !

Do you use a tripod/panning for the close ups ?:D

When aircraft are on the ground, with not much speed, I use a monopod under my lens (as camera and lens is 6 kg or so). For take off and flying I just hold it in my hands. Shot at 400 iso , 1/1600 on F4 or 1/1000 on 5.6 I use a digital camera, which enlarges the lens by 1.66 , so my 300 F2.8 turns into a 500 mm. BW Roger

Seen south east uk today

Airliners are not really my thing spotting wise but an unusual engine note will always get me looking skywards.

Unless I am very much mistaken she came directly over my home in north east Essex at 0830 bst today 3rd June. Heading due east towards the Clacton marker, what a sight and sound !

Can anyone confirm my sighting and ID ?

I understand it was at Stansted yesterday morning, so I'll guess you might have seen it. The machine was later seen over AMS. BW Roger
