Aircraft
Well at the start of the month it was a lovelly day but i had flu and couldnt go to the airport, so instead i compromised by taking a series of shots of aircraft passing my bedroom on the approach to Gatwick Airport. What they do is fly along to a waypoint called Mayfield or roughly about Brighton area where they turn base leg then when nearly there they turn on finals for 26L.

Here are a few of the best ones.
Virgin 747-400.
First Choice 767-300.
Thomsonfly 767-300.
easyJet A319.
Martinair Holland MD11 Freighter cruising high above on its way back to Amsterdam.
As you can see i had a bit of practice while up in manchester at taking photos of planes high above the sky, Paintshop Pro sometimes distorts them but sometimes they come out nicely.

Glad that my flu bug didnt last long, only a 48 hour thing so not bad.
