This beauty arrived at Stansted on Monday and is nicely positioned for photos from the northern fence line ( accessed from the track by the Ash pub in Burton End), lovely to get so close to one of these, an 18-55mm lens was sufficient...

Andrew,
Excellent shots of a rare beast!
I must try and find this lane next time I'm there - did you use the Ash Pub carpark? I don't think this lane is noted on your Stansted guide on Civilian Aviation.

It's the track next to the Ash Roger, unless i'm actually going in the pub for a coffee or bite to eat I park on the road as the landlord isn't overkeen on having enthusiasts taking advantage of it for parking without using his venue. There are plenty of sensible (and some not so sensible) places to park on the road so it's not a problem

I live a mile from Stansted and occasionally my ears will prick up at the sound of something different coming in or going on so I heard the IL-76 leaving.
Didnt see it unfortunately!
Nice pics

interesting exercise working out how to get the setting right! quite happy with the results but the position of the light poles meant it was very much front lit.

Wow that is an awesome looking Aircraft the Il-76, Also that must be the only Qatari Amiri Airbus that didn't visit Edinburgh recently HHK, I remember that one stalking me a couple of times at Heathrow, yes I turned round twice on 2 spotting trips and there it was - mind you it's got a better colour scheme now than it did then.
