Today myself and LBARULES boarded the Chav Express (737 bus service) and spent another few hours at our favourite time wasting site...LBA!

In a spectacular (yet quite typical) display of stupidity, I managed to forget the battery for the D1x, so these were taken with my Fuji S5500. They're a little grainy, but at least they're in focus!

The first one is cropped from a photo of the front of the terminal building..Enjoy!

A lot of photos of G-LSAA, but she's such a good looking girl I couldn't resist.

Just for fun, here's a shot of the one and only Mr Morley:

As we left the Cemetary it started raining. REALLY raining, but the sight of this rainbow made it a litle more bearable:

By the way Mark L, where were you?! I'm guessing you were being sensible and staying indoors?!

Well well well Mr Nicholls, a superb set! Was worth the 'Chav Express' :D, not turning up twice despite the weather! Didn't really start raining when we left the cemtetry, started bloody hailing! LSAA looked so bloody awesome when it taxied right down to the end of 32, incredibly good looking machine in the flesh, photos really don't do it justice :)

Still can't believe you forgot your camera battery :D

Heres the man behind the camera, man and machine in perfect harmony!

Nice shots indeed. Very sorry I didnt make it down, but by the time I'd got up (1330 :o ) it was raining and I didnt really want to chance it based on what happened last time!!! I have Wednesdays and Fridays off Uni this term, so we'll try again some other time!

Elgan...I have to agree Sir, I have to agree!

Lance...You ARE mad, which is part of the reason I think you're a damn good bloke :)

Tom...Not quite sure I'd say 'perfect' harmony, but I'm getting there!

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll try not to forget rather essential bits of my kit next time!

Unfortunately :(. We need you to come so you can show us where the hell that spot is down at the end of 32! Me and Paul can cope with worse than mud!

Fridays are good for Tom (I think), so shall we say then? I'll probably be up there through the week anyway. I'm going to make use of the time I have before gigs start again in a week and a half. I don't get many chances to photograph planes through the windows of a tour bus!

So Mark, Tom...You guys OK for Friday? Will you be up there on Wednesday anyway Mark?

Cloud 9...The A320 is from Volar Airlines. If I remember correctly it was heading to Tenerife. I've never seen them at LBA before so it made a nice change!

It all depends on the weather, whats due in, and whether I can get out of bed early enough :D I'll try my best to make Friday though!

Can't see why next Friday will be a problem, there's something wrong with me, I go up to the airport Monday-Thursday, and then on my day off I go back there!

Paul, Regarding your text, thought you would like it :D.
