Last time I saw it was 15 years ago at Farnborough! AFAIK it's off tomorrow early morning carrying charity clothes back to Russia. I took these on Tuesday, and that morning the cargo ramp was a bit full - with the 225 and 2 124's! One of the 224's left that morning, so missed the 3 biggies.     few more here ....EOS 1D MkIV | EOS 40D | BG-E2N | EOS 30D | BG-E2 | EF 50mm f/1.4 USM | EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM | EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM | EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM | EF 300mm f/4L IS USM | EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM | Extender EF 1.4x II | Tamrac Model 5575 Expedition 5

You just had a LOT better light. I saw it yesterday (see other thread) in the gloom. It deffo looks better with the nose down though. Photo Comments and Critiques welcome as always...

The light had just gone the wrong side when I got there on my lunch break (although it was nice and bright). I missed it leaving yesterday morning, but I think it went earlier than expected (7:30ish I think).

I was stuck at work all weekend otherwise I would have gone yesterday. My third shot was from the perimeter, across the road from the threshold, there is a big bank with a couple of access roads onto the fields at the top. I just parked up there for a bit. Only thing is that It cut out part of the gear. Should get some good approach shots from that position though. Photo Comments and Critiques welcome as always...
