A little late due to work, life and other non-spotting things getting in the way of uploading photos and log but last weekend I took advantage of the combination of rarest of things - a British summer with sunny days and Thameslink actually running a train service on a weekend and had a trip up to Luton.
I only get there 2 or 3 times a year but it never seems to disappoint - perhaps because I get there so infrequently there is always plenty to go in the book. This trip while nothing overly exciting in the airliner sphere it need provide most of the Wizz UK fleet and the chance to catch a few 'new' Austrian registered easyJets.
An interesting selection of Bizjets was also provided with Mexican, Chinese, Moroccan, Nigerian and more represented. A good selection of G650, GLEX and G6000 as well as a BBJ. Both the Gulfstream and the small (stand 62) hangars were open while I was there and so, with the help of a couple fellow spotters, everything in them was noted.
As usual with my posts a few photo's are included after the log and there is a full set on flickr (Luton 28-Jul-18) to avoid eating too much of everyone's bandwidth
