I feel like I always have to complain about the weather, but when the interesting aircraft are coming conditions are not good. :( Too many Ryans, BAs, Wizz and Easyjets, few highlights :cry: By the way: it just starts raining...

Greetings

Hi,

Some shots I took on Tue 19th. I got up early at 4:30 to take some shots before work and spot some of the Trans-Atlantic rush. Unfortunately I had some problems with the scope, and the photos were coming out with the plane as a double image. :(
