[lijk604]

Spent about 2 hours spotting on Thursday. Bayswater was very cold. Winds 15-20 off the water, BRRRR!

Very happy with the results:

I had a brief evening outing just to try to get a night shot of the Korean A380. Not exactly the shot I wanted but it will do!

Wow Mark what's up with the rudder in that shot- that a 2-part rudder with only the top half swung out? Also, bokeh on the background lights is different on the left than on right side- that due to apu exhaust? Beautiful night shot
