Good morning!
2021.
It has been a certainly eventful year for obvious reasons!
It has meant Aviation was brought to its knees in the height of the national lockdowns that were imposed, etc.
April 2021 saw a glimmer of hope when restrictions were being eased, so we could go out and do more stuff we couldn’t previously.
That’s enough of me waffling on, lets get to the content at hand!
Since we could go out officially from March 29th 2021, I have been back at it with photos from various locations across the east of England, mostly focusing at my local home airport,
London Stansted Airport (EGSS / STN)
This topic showcases what is in my opinion my 10 favourite photos within the last 12 months, let’s jump in…

Well, there you have it!
I would say that despite the hardship at some stages o the year, it’s fair to say there has been plenty to see this past year!
Shame I couldn’t see Air Force One at Heathrow this year, this was due to work, otherwise that would have been the only photo I’d post, and that would be called my favourite, full stop 😂
From what I have seen, I am happy for the collection!
Hopefully 20211 will bring plenty more opportunities for spotting from different places, and maybe some adventures too!
We’ll see, time will tell!
Take care, and if I don’t post a topic again this year…
