Camera/Lens for overflight photos at 33,000 feet

Hi, After a bit of advice, My trusty Cannon 75-300mm lens is pretty much expired. Rather than just get a similar replacement I want to be able to get a lens that I can get decent photographs of Aircraft(mainly widebody aircraft)going overhead on overflights at heights of between 30 and 38,000 Feet a...

Re: Lossiemouth Friday 29/10/21

ZK434 was Lossie 22, arrived back at 13:19.
Two more Typhoons departed as Venom 21 Flight, at 14:05(looked like one was ZK334), they returned around a hour later.
ZP803 arrived back at 19:00.

Re: Lossiemouth viewing guides.

You could park on the old cobbled road at the beach end of Runway as normal this week, people entered via the new entrance and the huge tarmaced area, signs gone up this morning saying drain works starting and the tarmaced area will be fenced off and be private(also apologies for inconvenience).

Re: Info request!

Just checking, is the path along the 'top' at the 23 end blocked completely for parking or can you park at what would have been the entrance(just as you entered it off the road)? From what I saw yesterday there is pretty much nowhere to park there now on that side either,there were 2 cars parked at...

Re: work on runway

Just wondering how things are progressing with the Runway and if it's still hoped to have the Runway open this month or has that slipped?

Re: work on runway

What's the likelihood of Aircraft flying from Lossie in October?
Looked at the info given and it talks of late 2020 but wondered with all the covid restrictions if things had been pushed back and if the timings had slipped?

Have the RAF sold their 146s yet? The ideal aircraft to use. Mind you could FlyBEs Dash 8s not be used?
Good old 'Herky Bird' doing another vital job. Could the Atlas C.1 be used?
Think they used a Atlas C1 for patient transfer into Aberdeen last week
