November 15, 201015 yr I went to do my first plane spotting session today, at London Luton, my closest airport. It's mostly Easy Jet and Ryan Air, but a few other airlines operate there, as well as numerous business jets. Here are some pics I took:These are my first spotting photos, so not up to airliners.net quality, but I'm happy with them so far. I've got a lot to learn about both technique and my gear.Target for tomorrow - Stansted :).Regards,Dave.

January 6, 201115 yr Looks like you found my spot Dave! Great location up there at Luton, used to go pretty much every weekend. Not long before they close that area down though...

January 7, 201115 yr It isn't closed is it? Although last time i went was in november time, i hope not! love that spot!I used to work at Luton Airport and they were planning to close it down because too many cars block the emergency access points and the CAA didn't like it or something like that. The expansion that has now been cancelled would have eaten that area up as well.Saying this I live closer to Bournemouth airport now so I havn't been up to Luton for quite a while.

January 8, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the comments everyone :). The last time I was up there was 24 November, and it was still possible to get up to the area near the emergency gate, but I have no idea if it's been closed since as the weather hasn't been the best for going spotting. I really hope it stays open, as it's not a bad place for spotting.Dave.
