Hej everybody!
I went to see the RIAT departures with my eldest son. But, first we spend two days in London. Our hotel was the Moxy Excel, which was right across London-City Airport. Here's a small impression of what could be seen in thirty minutes. The small airport held one very nice surprise!
1. Of course, British Airways (BA Cityflyer) is present:

6. TAP Express arriving from Lisbon. As the airport closes around noon on Saturday and re-opens noon on Sunday, this plane was a "nightstopper".

7. The sun was getting around, but still you can have nice approach shots here:
