The 757 looks identical to the TU-204 and they both perform the same. Trust me this is true!!!!

Jump to postRIP to all on board. I started my flying lessons at this Airport and visited regularly
Jump to postI agree posting this on social media is not very professional, but pilots are humans like the rest of us
Jump to postIf one pax makes a decision to do something, the rest shall follow. It could be a case of pax thinking something has been said officially to the pax sitting next to the emergency exits. I can see how this has happened. This has NOTHING to do with the type of pax who would travel a certain airline.
Jump to postAhhh well. I'm sure we will be having the same arguments in the not too distant future...

I don't want to <acronym title="Air France">AF</acronym> bash BUT there is clearly an issue here.

Jump to postGet rid of the FA's, install vending machines and MAKE people listen to the safety videos
If you drive, I'd suggest go to the village of Stansted Mountfitchet, where you can park and get access to a grassed area, beside the airport perimeter fence. You get a great view directly in front of the runway.
Jump to postI spot fairly regularly at Myrtle Avenue. I will probably be there the same time as you at some point. I would be more than happy to show you around a couple of spotting areas near by.
The 285 bus is free and will take you from the hotel to Hatton Cross, then a 5 min walk to Myrtle.
Some good arguments for the route here. As previously stated, I was not against it, just thought it was not the obvious choice. I hope and it seems like I may be proven wrong!

Jump to postWith the population low around this airport, the whole idea was a nonsense. Unless I stand corrected, the idea was to serve madrid and the south of Spain via train.

Jump to postEasyjet took over GB in 2008, the year the recession started to hit Europe. With passenger numbers now increasing, it makes sense that there could be potential for the need for extra seats, hence the A321 could suit.

Jump to postTwo steps forward and one step back springs to mind
Jump to postMOL getting publicity once again. Maybe it's part of their more "customer friendly" image they have been portraying lately. Either way I admire MOL.
He can't stop people speculating the TATL scheme, as once again we are debating it.
Excellent, makes a change from the usual all Airbus fleet flying into GIB.
Jump to postThe only people who will really feel the pinch here, are the passengers wanting to use it
Jump to postI personally think the 747-8 is a beautiful aircraft. Unfortunately, it seems there is not much call for large long haul aircraft anymore, due to the economical environment we are in.
Very sad indeed.
I personally believe <acronym title="Monarch Airlines (United Kingdom)">ZB</acronym> have a market out there, but need to stick to such market, instead of trying to capture them all. Maybe this could happen by ceasing their charter operations and concentrating on the scheduled market. Maybe sliming ...
Jump to postFor 27L arrivals Myrtle Avenue is the best, easily accessible on the free 285 bus from the Central Bus Station to Hatton Cross. You can of course get the tube also. Happy spotting, although the weather isn't too great at the moment.
Jump to postCould be a good idea since it seems <acronym title="Iberia (Spain)">IB</acronym> have no interest.

Jump to postI will be trying some this weekend as mentioned. I seem to have my mind set on a 70-200 F2.8 lens; however, we shall see. All of your comments have been helpful.
Jump to postI wouldn't say uploading to here is my main objective; however , I will be uploading. I will be taking a look this weekend and possibly purchasing. I shall let you know what I went for/ planning to go for. All your feedback is much appreciated.
Jump to postThanks for the feedback. I have been looking around and will try a few out and see.

Jump to postThank you for a very good trip report. Some very interesting aircraft flown. I am planning a trip from LGW to AMS on the Garuda 777-300, report to follow.
Jump to postFirstly thank you for your reply. Budget is not so much of an issue, I am planning to photograph for uploading to a.net, once I have enough practice to take decent shots.
Jump to postI have been spotting aircraft for over ten years; however, I am now going to start photographing them. Does anyone have any tips on what cameras and lenses are good to start off with for beginners.
Any feedback would be helpful.
