You need to invest in a DSLR or a Bridge camera if you're getting into photography.

I have been thinking about it. Although i used my mobile phone for a lot of the photos i've taken, i do have a Kodak camera at home but it's finding the time to go spotting with work and life generally.

Good pics. CWL does well with rugby and football charter flights.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Yeah it does. I unfortunately i missed the Toulon team arriving on their VLM A320 this afternoon and the Enter Air that was there earlier this morning. It was nice to see the airport busy as well with i think at least 6 aircraft on the ground at one time.
It was the Aurigny ATR 72 that i really wanted to get a photo of as they are such a rare visitor to the airport. I was tracking it on FR24 and for some reason it originally took off and then returned to Guernsey after 8 minutes for some unknown reason but they did make it eventually!

See you didn't include G-SKBD and G-OLIV Jerry
Are you in the area tomorrow? I will be heading to the Highwayman by the looks of it.

No i work weekends. My next planned trip will be for the French rugby airlift.

I managed to get a few shots of some of the rugby airlift as they came over me inbound.
