Decided to take advantage of the sunshine, clear blue skies and [slightly] warmer temperature to break my spotter hibernation and actually visit an airfield rather than just looking out of the kitchen window. A coin toss between Biggin and Luton landed in Luton's favour so that's where I went.
Spend around 3 hours from just before midday to just after 3pm there including walking around from the terminal to the long term car park and back checking the various stands as I went. As a result might have missed a couple if they slipped in while I was over the side.
Overall a very productive trip with almost 90 logged and just under 60 going in the book (if I count a few 'upgrades' where previously only logged as 'OTT' on the upper airways at c30k+). A handful of 'paint jobs' as well including a couple of easyJet transfers.
I will put a few photo's up on flickr in a day or two when I have sorted, tagged, cropped etc to make presentable but for now here's the log.
Update: A few photo's after the log with more on Flikr (Luton 17-Feb-18)
