aniceguy 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi all; I've been taimed across by young gaza to this forum now. Hoping that I will be more than welcome to post screenshots and real photos with a feel for a belonging. 26th September I went down to London Gatwick for a day of spotting. Here are a few shots. Some comments, but I'm not sure on my aircraft as its been a while 27 Pictures (resized & slightly lower quality)! 5 videos (including ATC broadcasts) also available at the bottom of this post Videos require Apples Quick time Player to be viewed. Here we are: Thomsonfly 767 B767 Zoom Landing 26L Touchdown ... Delta 767 BA777 (was told off by airport security for standing in front of ditch so close to fence. Was asked to back away on road side of ditch. Rest of shots were spoilt due to this). Personally I thought this was unfair. :sadblinky: BA B737 US Airways A330 Bae146 Flybe Virgin Atlantic B747 (video later) Qatar Airways A330 special paint Firetruck :wink: Continental 757w Monarch A320/A321?

mutley 4,498 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hey Pete, :mrhappy: We love RW shots as you will see Interesting shots- B767 Zoom Landing 26L That's not something you will see again :wink: Shame about the fence but John Allard will like them (In joke) I agree with you feeling hard done by for not being able to poke the lens through the mesh. The videos are taking a while to load. So whilst they are, one tip is you can embed YouTube and SimTube videos in the forum using the tags whilst posting. Got the 747 now, great quality, wow that must have been loud!! Thanks for posting. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
grth_bbtt 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 mut you should have been at gatwick when the travel city direct 747-200 was landing :rofl some bloke on his mobile lost his signal and was wondering why his phone wasnt workin so well. the russians normally arrive loudly, as do there planes. the tupolev normally sends your ear drums rattling and the cubana illyshin makes a racket as well.

aniceguy 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi thanks for the comments. Would love to put them on youtube but some files are over 100mb which i think is the max. Also they are in .mov format ... not sure if this is surpported? Videos will be slow loading at the moment as I'm still uploading them to my server so its bandwidth is being taken up by me :mrhappy: You'll find me on here now rather than JF. Hope you are well good friend. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi Pete! :wink: to MH! First off, great shots!!! Never been to Gatwick, though Dublin has a good cafe where you can watch the planes from or there's the fence/main road opposite to main 28. Kieran Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Great stuff! I love RW shots :wink: There are a couple of 767/757 mixups and A320/321...but who cares! :wink: Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Welcome to MH. As indicated, I have a little experience with airport fences. At my local airport the only good viewing area is fronted by a fence much like the one you show, though with not so much concertina wire on the top. Shooting through the fence from up close is not much better than standing back, as you were forced to do, and having photos of fences with airplanes in the background. The best technique I've come up with yet is to stand on the trunk lid of the car and shoot over the fence. If the car is new enough that you're worried about the paint, stocking feet or a beach towel (don't trip) would serve. Inconvenient, I know, but just one more thing to thank the middle-eastern loonies for. John Link to post Share on other sites
