really good pictures you got there, cant wait for your next trip :p
LOL, thanks. Not got anymore lined up for this year I'm afraid, but there are many other members on this forum who are more than capable of putting together a mighty fine trip report. LOL
Ren Frew, feel free to do that Moderator trick of yours, transfer forums? :)

I may just do that tomorrow some time ? :D
Good report, sorry you didn't get a 732. I think those chances are going to quite dramatically fall in the next couple of weeks to be honest?
There's been quite a bit of activity on the 732 front at PIK these past few days, with more arrivals and certain examples being towed back from the northside apron for pre-sale preparatory work at the Ryanair hangar.
I never knew it was possible to do so much plane spotting from the cabin window either? I guess that's what happens when you approach one of the busiest sectors in the world.

As Ren Frew said, they were selling onboard. :)

Here's a spotting tip: If you take the right hand exit off that A77 roundabout in your picture (between the two white vans) and follow it to a little farm road junction turning left. You'll find yourself directly under the 31 approach and can experience a 747 coming right overhead at around 100ft ! :eek:

Thanks, I seem to have very bad luck with the weather at STN, not seen any sunshine yet in all the times I've been there really.
