ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

London-Luton 23-04-2011

Post by LifelinerOne »

Hello everybody,

my boss decided that it was time for my annual "go and learn from our foreign counterparts" trip. This week I will be in England. Today I spent some time at the fence at Luton, which was very, very hot.

Luton is quite a nice airport, with a lot of bizzers parked. There wasn't much movement amongst them, though. Seen were quite some exotic bizzers, but they couldn't be captured on camera. Spotting is done best on the South-side of the airport, where a small road leads to a crash gate. From here nice pictures can be made of traffic using the single runway. You are facing North, so no issue with the sun.

Next to the bizzers, Luton is a base for Ryanair, easyJet, Monarch and Thomson. And that was nice as I hoped to catch some local airlines.

Nice Austrian Challenger rolling out after landing:

Wizzair is also a frequent user of Luton. In an hour 4 A320's arrived, like this HA-LMG:

Appropiate registration for this frog-looking Beech 390:

A nice Thomson B757:

Monarch A320 with extra decals for the Royal Wedding, which is due this Friday:
Image

Sleek looking Global Express in take-off. It could use some color, though:
Image

Definitely the best looking bizzer currently around, the Falcon 7X and this was also a nice Saudi one:
Image

British Hawker:

Blue 737 from Bluebird Cargo:
Image

German Lear 35:
Image

Also this A321 from Monarch has received the "Congratulations Wills & Kate" stickers:
Image

Later in the afternoon, they switched runways, which was good for landing shots like this A319 from easyJet:
Image

Another Global Express in take-off. Note the small Malaysian-flag next to the door:

Challenger N602TS lining up for runway 26:

And finally this B737-700 from easyJet, just because there about to become phased out from the fleet:

Hope you liked them!~

Cheers! :wave:
