Finally spotting at Cardiff EGFF

Real World Aviation Spotting
1

Hello and welcome to my first planespotting post!
Today I made the trip up to Cardiff Airport to see 2 Ryanair 737-800’s land on runway 30 and to see the masses of British Airways heavy aircraft in storage sadly, the stored aircraft consists of 20+ 747-400’s, 3 777-200ER’s and 2 787’s. Sadly it wasn’t sunny today but there was no fog so I had a complete view of the airport. All photos were taken by me on either my iPhone XR or my Sony cybershot HX-300.
I hope you enjoy my photos!

My favourite shot of today, British airways BOAC 747-400 G-BYGC and British Airways Landor city of Swansea 747-400 G-BNLY

Were the landings hard or did Ryanair finally break the curse and butter the landings?

Surprisingly the landings were actually good I have to hand it to them

Unfortunately this is what aviation has come to in the current sad situation and no problem :)
