Edinburgh Airport
Corsair Airbus A330-343 F-HSKY, Monday 12 February 2018.
I don`t go through to Edinburgh Airport very often and up until recently only managed shots while waiting for my holiday flights. However, I`ve since discovered the excellent `Mound` viewing location and hope to head east for photography trips more often. Meanwhile, this section contains all my efforts so far from the capital`s airport, which is the busiest in Scotland. As of 2018, reports on any visits can be accessed by clicking here with any images prior to December 2017 shown below.

Iberia Express Airbus A320-216(WL) EC-LYE advertising Pull&Bear. This is a Spanish clothing and accessories retailer based in Narón, Galicia, but it has numerous stores world-wide. The company focuses on casual, laid-back clothing and accessories for young people with an urban style at a reasonable price.
Jet Airliners
Etihad Airways Airbus A330-243 A6-EYP heads back to Abu Dhabi.
Although there was a steady stream of movements on this occasion, which was an overcast morning, most involved run-of-the mill airliners. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable way to pass a couple of hours with the Iberia `Pull&Bear` A320 and US-registered Challenger being the only real planes of note.
Turboprop Airliners
Biz-jets
The only non-airliner aircraft to appear during my morning visit was US-registered Bombardier CL-601 Challenger N825SG.

Embraer ERJ-190LR F-HBLD HOP!
These shots were taken on Sunday 6 November before boarding a flight to Marco Polo Airport for a city break in Venice.
The only biz-jet photographed was Dutch-registered Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign PH-HGT which taxied out for take-off.
Once airborne, I got a good view of the Forth bridges and could see that work is progressing well on the new Queensferry Crossing, albeit it won`t open to traffic in December as expected. The date has been put back until Spring 2017, apparently as a result of adverse weather earlier this year.
May 2016
Reasonably-priced flights to Iceland from Edinburgh advertised on the easyJet website towards the end of last year, prompted a week-long stay in Iceland this month. Edinburgh Airport was fairly quiet during the afternoon of Tuesday 3 May 2016 when I took these shots, passing time until the departure of our flight to Keflavik which serves as Iceland`s international airport.

Qatar Airways Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner A7-BCR, bound for Doha, spooled-up and taxied out for take-off soon after I'd settled down in the departure lounge. The usual crop of British carriers made up the bulk of movements, although a Lufthansa and a Hop airliner also appeared. A brief but heavy shower effectively ruled out any further photography through the thick glass.
