It just worked for me Mode1 on my work PC so I guess it must be your (not as smart as it thinks!) phone!

Can you not just access the Gallery from the Board Index?

No the problem is at our end. The gallery doesn't work using the mobile site and hasn't since it was installed. I am looking at getting it sorted but this depends on whether we keep the mobile version of the website.

I've rated both your pictures as 10/10 they're superb and probably the best I've seen on Forums4airports so far! :hatsoff:

 

[White Heather]

Agreed Aviador, in fact I would give the PIA an 11 out of 10.

 

[channex 757]

Excellent pictures Geoff. Did you take the PIA one from the bench by the tunnel or the grave yard?

 

[masere]

Has that bench been put back channex757? I used to stand on its concrete frame to get over-the-fence shots, but last time I went to the tunnel the bench was gone and a new, much higher, fence was in the process of being erected. Even if the bench is back I'd assume shots over the new fence would be impossible. Which would be a shame.

Not sure if there's anywhere similar to the cemetry on the 32 end Geoff, but there's plane tree hill and the land just before 32, where the lights are.

 

[channex 757]

Thanks for the reply.

And no the bench is not back but thre is a big concrete block there but this is no use as the new high fence is still in they way which is irritating.

I think the closest thing at the 32 end is if you go down to the pan and take pictures from there. But again there is a fence there so you have to try and get a picture through the small holes on the fence.

I was at the airport for a bit today and took these pictures

After departure, the Alitalia a320 didn't retract the landing gear. It hadn't been retracted before it made the usual left turn and it was down till it went out of sight. I don't know why it was left down.

Interesting last pic there Channex. First one I've come across to show the new passenger walkway being built.

Someone had a pic with it on the other day I think. It only had 1 small section built though, looks like they've extended it quite abit there.
Great pics channex nice to see Alitalia at lba! Love the last pic of the apron

Great pictures channex 757. That's the first Alitalia I've ever seen at LBA. When are they next scheduled to come it. I need a pickie!!

 

[channex 757]

Thanks.

I aren't sure when it's next due in but it was good to see at LBA.

But it was a strange departure today by the Alitalia because i didn't see it retract the landing gear and by the time it was out of sight, it had done the usual left hand turn and must of been airborne for a minute or two.

Does anyone know why?

[a300boy]

If their procedures are like ours on the A300 if you have a brake disconnected or an anti skid system inoperative we leave the gear down for 2 minutes to let the wheels stop turning after take off as the automatic gear braking on retraction is not working. But it may just have been the pilot in command was slow to ask for the gear up.

Not good if there forgetting basic procedures
