Maggie's first swim

Managed to persuade youngest dog to get swimming, but it wasn't entirely successful.
The Blades @ Cosford Airshow
Filmed from the car park of David Austin Roses whilst on the way home. They closed the show, 2 hours earlier than planned thanks to the dreadful weather.
Take-off and Landing Videos
I decided to film both take-offs and landings on our trip to Malta. Contrary to popular belief using electronic equipment during take-off and landing has absolutely no effect on the aircraft's systems. I love flying and I enjoy seeing the ground get further away and closer depending on whether you are going up or down, obviously. Anyway here they are flimed from row 5:
Manchester take-off R05L 12/4/11
Malta landing R13 12/4/11
Malta takeoff R13 19/4/11
Manchester landing R05R 19/4/11
For those interested the aircraft were Thomas Cook Airline's Boeing 757-3CQs. The outbound aircraft was G-JMAA and the return aircraft was sister ship G-JMAB. They were both built in 2001 for JMC Airlines and were the first stretched 757-300s built for the UK market. JMC were eventually swallowed up by Thomas Cook. They have both recently been fitted with fuel saving winglets.
