THE BIG 'UN

[FUJI]

Smack my wrists if you like, but I just had to post this.

The biggest passenger plane in the World flies in to Birmingham airport twice a day now, the morning landing at circa 11 20.  it flies low and slow, on approach almost over our back garden, in never fails to amaze me.

Here I am a good half mile from home when I spotted her coming in...Taking pot luck, I put my Vintage MINOLTA ROKKOR 50- 1.4  on f 8 and set to INFINITY and.....HEY PRESTO !

 

First pic...as taken...uncropped...second cropped to discover how that old manual lens performed...

No complaints.

I have never seen one of these in the air. When I have seen one on the ground it astounds me that it can ever get off the ground.
