i must add that PH-KCG was a MD11not a 777 as i wrote, also when i was capturing the beluga there was alot of high cloud behind it.
i didnt bother with descriptions for the british airways pics as i thought they were pretty self explanatory.

also all the larger photos have been cropped which is why they appear larger, ive been using a program called irfan view which seems to work well.

Even though its a little bit late, a happy new year to all of you and thanks for the great pictures from January :D .
There were some interesting visitors like the A9C-KB from Gulf Air and my first 747-8s G-GSSE and G-GSSF, both on the same day, but due to the clouds and haze most pictures were terrible :( .

Viewing this aircraft passing by I thought it was a World Airways MD11, which can be seen frequently; how nice it was actually one of the two KDC-10 from the Netherlands.
