The 21st, 22nd and 23rd of May saw thousands of football fans depart (and return) for Moscow for the Champions League football final between Manchester United and Chelsea.
3 TVAS members Adam Barber, Brian Kiddy and myself (Daryl Barber) departed Derby at 6am and after a smooth journey arrived at Ostler's lane (alongsdie runway 05R) a little after 07:30.
Upon our arrival we set up camp at a suitable position adjacent to the touchdown point of the active landing runway, we were informed by the local spotters/photographers
that the runway was being kept in use all day (its is ususlly shut down bewtween 12:00 and 15:00) which was good news for photography as you are so close to the action it's beyond belief. We had just settled down
(code for scoffing sandwidges) when appearing out of the haze came a Corsair lump (1 of 4 seen on the day). From this point until 12:00 the traffic was constant, unfortunately several of the promised gems did not
materialise but thats the name of the game in this hobby. Never the less we all had a good morning and at about 12:30 it was decided to retreat to the Aeropark so toilets and refreshments could be more easlity accessible
. Upon reaching the Aeropark several EMA regulars were spotted and the usual conversations ensued, the afternoon was fairly quiet and only the normal Manchester traffic made an appearance (even the Biz jets kept away)
The weather was warm and sunny albeit with some scattered clouds (which never seemed to cover the sun for once) the company was good and TAS's excellent facilities hepled make it
a great day enjoyed by all.
Below are some photo's of the aircraft we saw on the day, as you will see the location these are taken from is great. If anyone would like directions and a map of how to get there
just email me and I can provide these.
My good friend Brian Kiddy has again provided a log for the day - many thanks Brian. Daryl Barber - TVAS Webmaster
