Isle of Man to London City

I'm in the middle of a holiday and here is the first post. These posts will be out of order, but this first one comes from the Isle of Man, as I waited for my ride back to London City.

First up are some pictures from a brief period of spotting before getting to Ronaldsway airport [ICAO code EGNS]. As you'll see, the weather was wet with low cloud, but at least it wasn't windy.

Ronaldsway airport is a reasonable size with a couple of runways, although it is not very busy. Having said that, it is served by a number of airlines, including those shown here.

First up we have the arrival then departure of an Easyjet operated Airbus A319-111, G-EZIP. The first photo was when the weather was as good as it got...

Next up is an ATR-GIE ATR72-500, EI-REL, operated by Stobart Air on behalf of Flybe. Nice paint job!

Another Stobart Air aircraft, this time an ATR72-600, EI-FMK. A rather plain paint job this time...

Last up is my ride home. This is a SAAB 2000, G-CDKA, which is operated by Eastern Airways on behalf of British Airways. More on my rides on this aircraft in a later post.

Without giving too much away for future posts, the Isle of Man is a really nice place to visit, including for aviation buffs. More on this later!
