Hello,

Below are my long awaited plane spotting photos that I took at the weekend at EGKK (London Gatwick). There are a wide range of photos and I hope you enjoy them! Comments are welcome!

This was the loudest plane I had ever heard (except the Harrier Jumpjet). It had orange sparks coming out of the engines!! 😂

This one of a Thomas Cook, I noticed that it had part of its tail unpainted 😕

Fly Emirates you are cleared to takeoff RWY 8R

This is a rare aircraft that I have not seen before especially at Gatwick

Jumbo Jet or formally know as the 747 is cleared to takeoff RWY 8R

The Northwest Airlines in its new livery

Continental Airlines Boeing 777

Cleared to land

American Airlines is a familiar sight here at Gatwick these days and... have always been really!!

Monarch Airlines on Final Approach and cleared to land RWY 8R

I hope that you enyoed my shots I took and I will waiting for your comments!

Thanks for looking,

Mike
