SPOTTING AT LONDON GATWICK "YOU NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GO"

 

Over the next few months I am going to share with you the places I go spotting. I been coming up to the airport since the 1960's. I started going up on my own in 1973 once I had passed my cycling proficient at the age of 15. There was a group of us and we all fly up there on our bikes. 

There are lots of place to go which are on the landside of the airport. They are public paces and not infringing on private or airport land.

I am very well known to the police all be it a lot of my old airport security and police friends have retired. Some of the new ones do talk to me and are never rude or proactive to move you on. The last guy was also a spotter but worked inside the airport normally.   

This is Prestwood lane I tell you more on a future post. There lost of wild life around here as well. So when there no planes there are plenty of birds, foxes, and farm animals to take photos of.  

This kind of photo is good with a camera lenes of 300m to 600m. It takes over 15 minutes to walk here from the nearest parking spot. 

Go around are great for me but not the passenger. Gatwick is well know for many go arounds. They fly over my house as well. Not good early in the morning as the noise is very loud, who needs an alarm.

I do love going up to Gatwick when there a special plane landing. Being three miles away it is very easy for me. This Qantas was early doors and I was up at 5:30am. It arrived at around 7:10am and did a go around first.

Please follow our blog and I love to read any comments or question you may have. This is me and my dog Dougie. Happy spotting till next time. Our website is Airspotters.com if you like model aircraft. 

AIRLINE ADVERTISING FROM THE OLD DAYS

 AIRLINE ADVERTISING FROM THE OLD DAYS

This blog covers almost all subject to do with aviation old and new. Advertising is one thing I decided to keep as the years went by. This advert is of TWA and around the1980's. 

AIRLINES EARLY HISTORY

TWA's corporate history dates from July 16, 1930, and the forced merger of Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT), Western Air Express (WAE), Maddux Air Lines, Standard, and Pittsburgh Aviation Industries Corporation (PAIC) to form Transcontinental & Western Air (T&WA) on 1 Oct.

They then became TWA which we all know stands for Trans World Airways (or Try Walking Across)

This picture above is of a TWA 747 I took at Gatwick, hopefully offering the service as advertised above. I love the old days and if you do please comment below.

"LEE GRANT STARRED" SHE BE 99 IN 2024

I watch Columbo and there an ending scene of two TWA Boeing 747 in the globe livery. Ransom for a Dead Man 1971. But that is a story for another day.

Aviation Model Time "Volotea Boeing 717-200 EC-MGS Scale 1/200"

 

AVIATION MODEL TIME

JC Wings Volotea Boeing 717-200 EC-MGS Scale 1/200 LH2381

This is a model that was down to be released in 2022. It was never released and we had many orders for this model, they of course were cancelled. Now we find the model is coming back and is due to be relased in August 2024 by JC Wings. This is a 1/200 scale. This means for those that do not know, the model is two hundred times smaller than the real aircraft. It is of course diecast and as you can see from the photos it comes with a stand as well. If you were one of the customers that order this before then we are happy to retake your model order. 

I took this photo in 2018 on the Greek island of Zante. A very dirty and tired looking 717. 

The Boeing 717-200 is no longer in production, but Volotea was one of the few airlines still flying the type in Europe. The aircraft is known for its fuel efficiency and performance on short and medium-haul routes.

The Volotea Boeing 717-200 was a twin-engine jet airliner formerly operated by the Spanish low-cost carrier Volotea.

The model features a stand and undercarriage 

Of course it comes in a box as shown here.
