Slides From Flightdeck

[Tomliner]

Ok,I know they are not particularly good shots,but they are of interest to me.In 1995 I was priveleged to ride the jumpseat on the scheduled Saturday morning round trip operated by Air UK from Stanstead-Edinburgh-Glasgow-Stanstead.The captain was a friend of mine with whom I have unfortunately now lost touch.The aircraft,as I am sure some of you will know,is a Bae-146.This was several years prior to me moving to Edinburgh.The first five are on the descent and approach into EGPH.In the second pic the nav radios are tuned to TLA and the EGPH ILS.





The shot below was taken on the ramp.

The shot below was at the holding point for r/w 25(now 24)

The next three are on the approach to Glasgow .



The last three are on the return to Stanstead.Note that on the next to last shot the nav radios are tuned to the GAMston VOR and to the Stanstead ILS



John,I don't suppose you will see these but if you do,send me a pm. EricT

Awesome sitting up front isn't Eric? Nice shots. The candid ones always have a certain feel that the overset up "perfect" photos can't give.. ...I think anyway

Airboatr you are so right.I have many photos shot as SLF,both on flightdecks and from pax seats,but am reluctant to post them as I think that they may be considered a bit 'naff' to use a colloquial term.I wish that, on the occasions that I was able to ride on the flightdecks,I knew then what I know now.Best Wishes EricT

In the words of Jose Jiminez .... Gee I hope not!
