A week in Majorca

[keithh]

I arranged a week in Palma from 11-18 June with the intention of spending most of my time spotting. Having arrived home from Lisbon in the early hours of the morning, we set off for our Norwegian flight from Gatwick in early the evening!  I booked the Hotel Roc Linda and asked for a high room overlooking the airport and I wasn't disappointed. We had the end room on the fifth floor which meant I could look round the end of the balcony and see the eastern runway too. I took hundreds of shots but the amount of zoom and the heat haze affected them quite badly at times, especially the biz that needed more zoom. Also the sun came around the front of the hotel in the late afternoon making photography impossible for aircraft landing from the sea. The wife was quite happy reading, drinking wine and soaking up the sun, not necessarily in that order. the following is what I made but I have included all biz as I will take ages to check them.

I hadn't been since 1989!

Hi Keith,

Fabulous report mate, love all the photos. My first trip to Palma was World Cup final day 1966, as a 12 year old boy. Very fond memories of a large family holiday... Only difference between your trip and my first visit was that most of the planes were prop driven, loads of DC-3’s, 4’s, 6’s and 7’s, Britannia’s, Convair’s and just a few jets....

I love Majorca....

Bill

Great report and log Keith and thanks for all the photos, they must've taken ages to upload.

[keithh]

Yes they did take a while! Lisbon took a while too so I left it for a few days in between! It was only my second visit here but last time was totally different in 1989, lots of now defunct Spanish and German airlines. In reply to Bill, I did get a couple of DC3s at Son Bonet last time.

Great, bought back some happy memories of staying at the Linda or Apollo and walking to the blue bridge for the biz.
