Very, very nice Adam. What are those 2 small aircraft in the bay with the Thompson 737?? Can't say I've ever come across them before. They certainly add to the scene.

Today (28/06/2012) saw some usual traffic aswell as a special
arrival bringing back the England supporters from Poland back home after the
penalty defeat against Italy in the Euro 2012. It was also good to catch one of
the Bizjets in action...<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>
