What Davidth88 is sayiing is that Armin_Tamzarian got his 10's a little mixed up. The first photo is a 10 but a Lockheed 1011 Tristar and not a DC10 as named.

It is indeed, the place isn't much more than an oversized floating airfield.
If was interesting seeing it though as I was in the middle of reading 'Vulcan 607.
They'd had a rare celebrity landing just before I arrived. John Travolta had just flown in with his family.

Cheers for the clarification.
I thought it was another one of these.

Some guy landed his R44 in a field behind my house today. Got talking to him, nice fellow, from Meath. He scared the hell out of the sheep though!

Just after he landed

They got used to it eventually:

And then he left

I haven't come here for that reason but I have been invited to the match tomorrow evening.

I haven't seen Ndizani here but I have't been looking out for it.

On google maps it looks like its way down the end of the airfield.

Interesting - landed on 21L the last two years from Port Elizabeth and didn't look left..

Saw it in 2006 near the terminal I think. Also saw an SAA 747 in the maintenance depot last year. As long as they don't get rid.. :mad:

At Shannon for a couple of hours yesterday:

Tornado is still hanging around

Antonov taxing back as 737 scurrys out of the way:D

I'd have photos of the Antonov landing except I was filming it instead;)

Still there but is in the process of being broken up I'm afraid. It's not exactly where it is shown on google maps but not far from it.

The camera is a Sony DSC-H1, old enough now, 5.1 megapixel, 12x optical zoom.

The camcorder is a Samsung D381, cheap but very good quality picture

The 12x optical zoom is key then so! I was wondering about the pic of the AN124 at the end of the runway, it's a long way from where you were standing, so I was curious as to what you had! Nothing wrong with that camera, don't let the megapixel race fool you into parting with the hardearned!

I wont be parting anytime soon anyway,
I have seen that the mega-pixel being huge dosnt mean crystal clear shots, I have a smaller Kodak digital with 8 mega-pixel but oly 2 optical zoom and I couldn't get near shots like this(despit being a good camera), so in future it'll be the optical zoom that I look for
