48 Hour Photo Comp: Airbus Airliners!
48 Hour Photo Comp: Airbus Airliners!
I turned to Wikipedia for some inspiration for the theme, and discovered that 28th October 1972 was the first flight of the Airbus A300...
Therefore please post your best 3 images of Airbus Airliners over the next 48 hours! Civilian passenger or cargo variants of any Airbus manufactured aircraft please, but not military operated machines.
For clarity that is the following aircraft types; A300, A310, A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340, A350, A380. I will also begrudgingly allow the A220 but only for airframes produced after June 2018.

Not a massive fan of the plastic holiday tubes, but the A350 is a good looking aircraft and seems to suit every current livery:

Not a great deal to choose from, but here we go.
I don't think this counts as military - it carries a civilian regn.

Re: 48 Hour Photo Comp: Airbus Airliners!
Some great entries and great to see some older images of classic colour schemes. But the top three are;
#3 - jalfrezi's shot of the Airbus A350 demonstrator, very in your face!
#2 - Draken's shot of the British Airways A320 landing at Gibraltar, an awesome angle to shoot aircraft from.
#1 - FarnboroJohn's lovely shot of the British Airways A380 in golden evening light, simply stunning.

Thank you very much Peter! Some great stuff in this competition and I am very gratified with the placing.
I've got the idea for the next one and will put it up shortly.
