Former Qatar A330-300 (A7-AEA) now registered by Castlelake as VP-CNV. Cotswold Airport (Kemble) is sad last resting place for many aircraft and the starting point of a new life for a few. It is a magnet for enthusiasts and photographers, especially those who 'like' to record the last days of an airframe or a change of identity. It is also a home, if sometimes only temporarily, to airframes which would be seen in the UK only rarely or not at all. The scene at Kemble changes steadily and a series from my latest visit illustrates all of the foregoing. 200_4_P1020674CE

It is notoriously difficult to take photographs through aircraft windows especially when taxying so only four pictures have survived today's edit and they are hardly classics. This shot of Iberia A330-300 EC-LUK is certainly a bit lucky as it was just accelerating down runway 8R. TZ30_P1040972CE

When I am taxiing around various airports, I usually try to get shots through the aircraft window with, it must be said, very mixed results. Air Canada A330-300 C-GFAH rolling out on runway 24R at Toronto. TZ30_P1030622C
