Here’s Tenerife’s ever so famous stratovolcano, named Mount Teide. Mount Teide is, of course, the highest point on the island of Tenerife.

A few hours later, we are already on final approach of Gatwick’s runway 08R, about to put the gear down as the 738 intercepts the localiser.

After a nice flare, we touch down smoothly at London Gatwick, 20 minutes ahead of schedule due to a fair tailwind on the way over to Britain.

Thanks Hugh, every picture has been slightly edited with snappers, however, I think I did do the worst job on the last picture, lens blur was slightly over blurred.
