Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Aberdeen Airport July 25th

Post by Macc »

Spent an hour at Aberdeen International Airport with Mark before catching my train back to Edinburgh, I hoped to catch the NHS S-92 and AW-139 and wasn't left disappointed! The weather was pretty miserable and incited slow shutter speed fun. We lucked out in the end and bagged a few surprised too!


1. Mark noticed the 'Best of British 2012' Embraer ERJ-135 of Eastern Airways taxi-ing to the runway so we went round to the mound. I've seen this jet a few times but never caught it which is why I played it safe with the shutter speed.

2. LN-OED was on the pan, soon to be joined by LN-OEC who arrived minutes after arriving at the mound.

3. Both the S-92s and AW-139 from NHS have rather nice colour schemes!

4. Then shutter speeds started to get daft with 1/30th of a second.

5. 1/40th as I caught my first Bristows S-92.

Great pictures.

Are these choppers for transporting personnel to the oil and gas platforms in the North Sea?

Sure are, the companies involved are Bond, CHC and Bristows. A mixture of EC225, AS332L2, S92 and AW139 are used.
