Comment / My first sighting of an Air Berlin A320 believe or not, with D-ABDA being the first Airbus delivered to the airline back in October last year. She is seen here arriving from Berlin's Tegel airport.

Comment / The chase is on! G-EZII (in the foreground) and 'IH leave Stansted just a minute or so apart.

Comment / With the sun having disappeared behind low cloud just before sunset, this was a difficult shot to take. In the end I used an ISO of 500 to give a decent shutter speed of 1/320th needed when at full 300mm zoom. Although you can make out slightly more grain as a result, it's still mind boggling to think that, with a film in your camera, a shot like this would have been a non-starter a couple of years back.

Comment / After starting out starting out with Lufthansa in May 1997, this A319 also spent time with Khalifa Airways before transferring to the Germanwings fleet in 2004.

Comment / Blue 1's first MD-90 was painted up into the airline's full colours during mid-June, and has been seen operating a number of flights to Stansted in recent days. OH-BLU is an ex. SAS airframe, originally delivered at OY-KIL.

Comment / Good to see a few more Air Berlin Airbus' making their way into Stansted. D-ABGC operated the first and last services of the day from Berlin Tegel on the 30th June.

Comment / Arriving on World Cup duties in preparation for tonight's England game with Portugal.

Comment / Perhaps the best logojet of them all? D-AKNO arrives from Stuttgart in the special Berlin Bearbus scheme, near to sunset in some stunning light. This A319 starting out flying in the States as N727UW with US Airways, before joining the ever-growing fleet of Germanwings in the Spring of 2005.

Comment / F-GRSN arrives from Cologne having been operating to Stansted on behalf of Germanwings all day. Star Airlines was recently bought out by the Avion Group and it seems that titles have been scrubbed out as a result. Might a new identity be on the way?

Comment / With the introduction of Airbuses at easyJet's Glasgow and Edinburgh bases, A319s have taken over the Scotland - Stansted schedules. G-EZAO is seen arriving here from Edinburgh, an aircraft delivered band new last month.
