Today the Farnborough Airshow kicked off here in Hampshire. Last week we were treated to the A380 circling – it is almost quiet – i hope we get to see it again this week. I’ll be uploading my pictures here throughout the week.

Emergency Landing – Manchester Airport – Best video on youtube?

This is a fantastic piece of filming – talk about being in the right place at the right time! You can find the complete footage here. The pilot and ground control were the epitome of calm and professional.

NB: Notice Concorde in the background 2 minutes in!

Cambridge Airport

As summer draws nearer to a close, and as the sunlight comes in shorter supply, i’ve noticed how beautiful our airport here in Cambridge looks as I drive past it every evening. So, I did something today that I don’t often do – I took a walk! Yes readers, I walked to the airport to get some pictures of the runway as dusk fell. I ideally needed a tripod, but I don’t have one, so it was best efforts to keep the lens still.

I still don’t think the pictures describe how gorgeous the runway looks with the differing sets of lights at each juncture in the setting sun.
