A long 24 hours in Aberdeen bought a little viewing either side of some good work meetings
Luckily for me there have been some new helicopters since my last visit plus Bristows getting two ATR72 frames I need to do the Aberdeen – Shetland Isle runs.
London City is very easy to view from airside. I always head down to gate 4/5 area as the windows are clean there and give a good view. Its hard to take pictures as the planes park so close to the windows but they do move quite a lot so gaps appear and opportunities are taken. Here is what I saw from 07.45 to 09.30. I didn’t log all the BA’s.
Some pictures including some of what’s at the end of the runway! are here on my flickr - www.flickr.com/photos/deanosmadaboutplanes
London City to Amsterdam seems the route here. BA have two, KLM three and Flybe one departure between 7 – 10. I cannot believe they can fill six aircraft in this time frame every day.

A bloomin early 07.00 flight back to London City saw these all on the ground before they could escape.
All seen by walking around airside. Its very easy to walk around and get everything. Hard to get some of the helicopters if parked at the wrong angle but more can be captured on the taxi out.
Shame G-PRPM was my ride again but the two ATR’s made up for it.

Eastern Airways are going to replace Flybe on the LCY – Aberdeen route in May with Saab 2000’s and then allegedly the Embraer 170. We shall see.
Definitely an airport worth visiting especially if you are from the London area as so many helicopters and commuters that never come south
Hope of interest
