First Post for 2017

It wasn't my intention, to have the first post of 2017 in April but I have been too busy to attend the flying club.

Today I was treated to a Norwegian Air Shuttle Boeing 787-8, Dassault Falcon 2000EX EasY and a French Air Force C-135RG.

A trip down the M4 to Heathrow

Having not had the opportunity to photograph in a while it was decided to plan a trip to Heathrow.

Ginge and I decided to make the most of our day by also visiting the Heathrow Aircraft Enthusiasts Fair being held at Kempton Park Racecource.

Despite the weather being dry the number of decent images taken could be counted on one hand.

What a day at the Cambrian Café Bar

On what turned out to be a very cold and overcast day a visit to the Cambrian Café Bar turned out to be much better than could imagine.

Many were awaiting the visit of the first ever Norwegian Air Shuttle Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner which was scheduled for maintenance at British Airways Maintenance Cardiff (BAMC).

On arrival we could see an orange tail of an EasyJet Airbus A319 which was joined shortly by a further two that had diverted due to fog at Bristol Airport.

This wasn't it and also photographed Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 and a British Airways Boeing 747-400.

Due to this there will be two pics of the day.
