Another day in paradise (aka Kirkwall Airport)

Summer is here

Oh well, maybe not, but on wednesday morning I was out on the apron speaking to Nic Van Der Meer in -3 centigrade in a short sleeve shirt at 0740 in the morning. Hard to believe but true. The last two days have been beautiful despite the ice and the light this morning was perfect for taking pictures. Not much happened until the terminal building shook which told me straight away that a Nimrod was doing approaches Sure enough I looked out to see XV254 climbing at the 27 end of the runway. So this is for the Nimrod fans.  First of all over the 09 threshold

And as it passed the terminal

Thanks to Paul Warrener I have added a picture of one of our Saabs on the beautiful morning in question.  Cheers Paul
