Army Air Corps AS365 ZJ785 low level past Wiseman's Bridge, Pembrokeshire, Wales yesterday morning

Standing on the deck of a cruise ship in Southampton dock and was fortunate to catch N685GD, a rather smart Gulfstream GVII-G600, taking off from Southampton Eastleigh airport a few miles away on its way to Milan #aviation #aircraft #avgeeks

Condor sent their last Boeing 757 to St Athan for scrapping a couple of weeks ago. Here it is passing over Cardiff Bay on approach to DGX in some beautiful weather #aviation #aircraft #avgeeks

A visit to CWL/EGFF this morning to see a pretty rare type - globally only 32 active frames - ADAC Dornier 328 Jet D-BADC. Fantastic sight and sound and well worth the visit and now the third 328 Jet frame I've seen.

A little distant but managed a half decent shot of RCH1816 C5M 86-0012 at FL350 just to the south of Cardiff

Emirates B777 A6-EQE overhead Cardiff at FL350 MIA-DXB around midday today

Possibly a bit tight for me, personally usually like giving the subject a bit of room to move into the frame

Seriously cool photo

RAF A400 ZM420 TRUSK62 catching the rising sun as it returned to BZZ overhead Cardiff at FL100 early this morning. It had been carrying out beach landings at Pembrey overnight

Don't often see RAF Typhoons overhead Cardiff, so nice to get XK364 RIGID011 and ZJ949 RIGID012 heading south on exercise this morning at FL350

Don't know but none of the big US airlines has the reg on the underside of the wing

No, 150-600mm, the aircraft was at 3000', almost had to zoom out as it passed overhead

Absolutely, delighted if you did

Yeah, guessed you were going to have to hold over here as you were so early. Any time here or quick taxi to LHR for the flight home?

Welcome to Wales @stevenomadic.bsky.social must have had a great view as you came in this morning. Any particular reason for the little twizzle at 19000' over Abbeville? A few shots of you turning on to final approach to DGX overhead Cardiff Bay

Got to go all the way back to August 2019 when I last saw an Etihad A380 overhead Cardiff Bay. Thank goodness it was early morning, the air was reasonably clear:

A grey military transport aircraft against blue sky, it has 4 turboprop engines, the photographer has blurred the propellors so the discs catch the late afternoon sun

RAF A400M ZM405 returned late afternoon for another couple of approaches at DGX. I missed the first but it lines up nicely 2nd time around heading towards the setting sun #aviation #aviationphotography #militaryaviation

It flew over my house yesterday a couple of times when it was in low cloud, so lovely to catch RAF A400M ZM405 'PALMTREE 46' overhead my house in blue sky today at about 3000' BZZ-DGX on a training flight #aviation #aviationphotography

Definitely not Least but could be Semipalmated, though think the bill is too long for Semi

It's a Western Sandpiper (Calidris mauri) isn't it? Least have yellowish legs

A white twin-engined turboprop airplane with high wings and floats for landing on water sits on the ground at Cardiff airport. Engines are started and a slow shutter speed has rendered the propellors as transparent discs

And there we are Jet2's last B757 overhead my house at 4000' on its final flight MAN-DGX just after midday. Shame about the grey skies but thought I was going to miss out as the wind's from east

My mistake there were still 2 to come after G-LSAE's flight into DGX last week. Today G-LSAK bade farewell with its final flight from MAN-DGX, caught here at 4000' overhead Cardiff Bay just lining up for final approach. G-LSAI should follow mid-week

A few times a year my house happens to be in just the right place to catch aircraft coming into Cardiff Airport from North America. This afternoon it was the rather lovely Gulfstream G650ER N2425J #aviation #aviationphotography #planespotting #bizjet

Another 757 bites the dust, Jet2's G-LSAE on its final flight MAN-DGX, passing over Cardiff Bay at 3000'. G-LSAE and G-LSAI were the last ones in commercial passenger service in the UK. The latter should come into DGX over the next few days. #aviation #aviationphotography #planespotting

A 4-engined USAF transport jet overhead with 4 contrails.

Taken about 20 minutes after sunset this evening at iso3200, the aircraft was still catching a bit of sun which seems to have resulted in some weird colours on it. Lockheed C5M 85-0003 RCH4025 overhead my house at FL370 #aviationphotography #aviation #planespotting

This is @stevenomadic.bsky.social overhead my house at about 3000' on approach to DGX. Rubbish photo by my standards but it was dark and iso 16000 only gave me 1/30 shutter speed, not ideal when handholding a 600mm lens
