Popped to Stansted for the arrival of the Trump circus at lunch time today. I was let down by my camera locking up right as the MV-22 and VH-60 formation flew stright down the approach right past me - annoyed is putting it mildly. It then gave 'memory card inaccessible' message and fortunately by removing and replacing it the problem cleared - perfect timing NOT!

anyway I got pics of the rest and the MV-22s departing so here's a few:

and must mention the farmer at Hallingbury who opened up his field for us to get off the road, about 30 cars there by the time AF.1 landed - thank you sir!

C&C welcome and a few more in my flickr album

the 2 C.5s that dropped off vehicles on Tuesday are back later today to pick them up, early evening apparently but will be departing after dark is all that has been stated for timings (on Stansted Google group).
