Olympic Opening Ceremony Traffic Dave Rose / Ian Ellington 28/7/12
Plenty of interesting visitors were expected for the Olympic opening ceremony so it was an early start heading south. First call was to Cranfield, it was acting as a Luton "overflow" and had a couple of Chinese biz present. Everything was parked together at the west end roundabout although shots into sun were difficult.

Only 1 shot here

We were at Luton 30 minutes later, surprisingly few spotters lurking here. We did the usual anti-clockwise tour and made use of our ladders for shots at the Holiday Inn Express, then parking in the medium term car park opposite to get some shots on the "bridge" We spent a couple of hours here and traffic was steady throughout, before setting off to Stansted.

Stansted promised some Russians, we were not disappointed!! We drove into the northern complex and there was an immaculate IL62 sat there!! Along with 2 IL96 friends. Things got even better when a 727 came into view parked next to an Indian EMB190 Lineage. There was Police all over the place, but they were very helpful, we asked them for permission to get various angles and they never declined. We wanted shots of the 727 so bravely marched into Harrods, firing away until the inevitable "Big Lass" told us to leave quickly ( it was worth it). We then settled at the "spotters lane" for a couple of hours, biz were parked in every nook and cranny and along by the spotters area, highlight being the Panamanian Govt Legacy. Luckily both BA Cargo Boeing 747 800 Freighters left during the afternoon along with a tasty "B" BBJ. Although the area was busy, I have seen it busier and we clicked away till 5.30pm before driving over to the Terminal to try and get a shot of the Russian Air Force IL76 parked over there, unfortunately we were out of luck so headed home.

A cracking day out, a great laugh and over 100 in the "bag" for me.
