I want to see the big charters come in now for the Summer.
Just a Canon 40D with the EF100-400L IS lens at it's max focal length. You can get better results on a cold, clear day when there's no haze though. There's a daily Emirates A380 which usually hits the West Coast of the UK mid morning so hoping to catch that if it routes up this way.

You should check the AVP out at Manchester one weekend. It's possible to get some really nice shots with a compact digi or bridge camera. They were operating on 05 yesterday so it was possible to get some really nice head-on shots of aircraft taxying out like this Qatar Airways A330
