For anyone at the Spotting weekend, were the two cranes by the Mound blocking any views? I can see two cranes near the bus terminal so it looks like they might block the view for a 16R landing (which is currently in place).

They have just lowered the cranes after loading one of the aerobridges onto a truck. But all the stuff there certainly blocks some view. VA is kind enough to hire a double decker bus for all the spotters at the mound.

Hold @ Shark.

Landing time 1014. Fly-by doesn't look like being authorised ATC have just advised.

This is what I love about Virgin, no matter what they do they always go all the way and think outside the square.
