Thanks EAR111pt2
There is some darn good spotting around the airport (and considering the location I have done LCY spotting... from Trafalgar Square in the past - nothing a long lens can't do when the winds are right )
Thanks Forrest Bump
It was a rare experience with great people - something I won't forget in a hurry
Thanks reddy2011

Many thanks for this interesting report Kevin....another early start for you I see.
I've never used LCY but might get to try it next year thanks to crap BA award availability at LHR. Looks an exciting airport especially being beside all that water.....bit like a mini Kai Tak.
Great and some unusual shots you got there......even without the red door.

Excellent TR. Well written and very informative. ^
I had the pleasure of flying out of LCY just last weekend and the experience was similar to hoping on a train in Euston to Manchester. Quick, smooth and efficient.

Flying into it can be fun - especially you drop from 5.5degrees to the floor and it is brakes to max....
There's a red door in the next trip report - honest
Thanks HIDDY.
