Nice set, it's good to see so many freighters, a preference of mine. Great coverage of the liveries, some of the colours are striking.

Great shots, the ups one is my favourite. The sunlight really adds to it.

Some lovely photos there, great light and clouds.

Care to share you shooting locations?, assuming you are not somehow airside

Nice to see the 747s still going strong.

Great shots and colours. Don't often see freight in and out of Manchester. I assume this is Stansted from your location.

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, I prefer the cargo stuff tbh, they tend to be older and more interesting aircraft types and they come in during the evening when the sunlight is at its best.

These are all from spotting locations outside the wire. Anything pointing to the right is landing on Runway 22 and photographed from the fields along Green Street. The landing shots pointing left are arriving to Rwy04, photographed from a footpath near the old railway bridge on Tilekin Green (the side road opposite the Esso garage on the Dunmow Road), and the Lauda shot is departing from 04 taken from the mound on Belmer Road.

#4 does it for me.
Fantastic lighting and perfect composition.
