I went Plane - Spotting today!!

Hey people,

Today I went to EGKK (London Gatwick) to do some plane - spotting. I live near by the airport so it was only a five minute drive. During my time their I took some pictures of a whole range of aircraft including an A330 - Bae146. I took the pictures with a standard, normal camera and I don't know if there is a way to show these pictures to you on Flyaway. I'm not sure how so if anyone could tell me that would b great.

Altogether, I took about 40 pictures in all - obviously I will only show you the best ones. I got a good amount on approach, on takeoff and also planes holding short of the runway awaiting clearance.

I managed to get a picture of a Virgin Atlantic 747 should look good and also one of a Fly Emirates A330 - I think. On the tail of the A330, Fly Emirates, there was a little sign representing the Football World Cup ion Germany. This is obviously a rare paint of that aircraft.

So.. It would be great if someone told me how i can load my pics onto this site then that would be cool - and remember, I didn't use a digital camera, I used a normal, standard one. 😀

Thanks alot guys,

As i read you have a normal(film)camera.
So you must scan your pictures in order to have them in data files and them upload them.Do you have scanner?

Well you have to find someone who has a scanner or you can ask from the photograph shop you get them to put them in a CD.

Glad to hear you got some photos SteveT, I look foward to seeing them as Gatwick also used to be my local airport too and it turns out I used to live about 10 minutes down the road from SteveT ❗

On the tail of the A330, Fly Emirates, there was a little sign representing the Football World Cup ion Germany

Lol, it wouldn't happen to be this one would it? Although the sign is on the fuslage not the tail. I took that pic myself when I was plane spottin in New Zealand so prehaps it was arriving from Gatwick??? (BTW- I also have a photo of an Emrites A340 with the Germany 2006 vinal)

You should PM to crosscheck9 in order to noitce this shot.
I bet that he loves to see it 😉

the plane that you posted is a 777 so it's obviously not going to be the same as the one that other guy spotted is it, his being an a330

My mistake. It was proberly this one then:

GM, I find it absolutely amazing how you can constantly keep others mind. Thank you very much for considering my love for such aircraft/airlines. It was very nice of you to bring attention to it 😀 . You are, as many would agree, the most pleasant one here (taken from CrashGordon)
