Nice photos. Can say where you were standing to take these please ?
Also if you are local any advice as to where safe car parking can be found in Trevarrian or St Columb, both outside the exclusion zones, for next week.
thanks

they were taken at either end of the runway....gambled with the B777 but it payed off..... as for a safe place for the G7 i honestly don't know. The 30 end has more 'options' as the approach goes over land so fingers crossed for the right wind direction.

Super shots ... I particularly like the rare and exotic Japanese bird that was a welcome visitor to the West Country! Many thanks for sharing them :thumb:
