1/400 UK Model Airport - 2021-22

[Thomson737]

Good afternoon,

Please find this thread as an avenue to share my model aircraft movements based on real world FR24 schedules extracted from numerous UK airports. The size of this concept is on 4ft x 2ft base.

We start on Monday in the morning around 6am and will continue with updates through the day before advancing to Tuesday and so on.

The purpose of this setup allows me to accommodate for both narrowbody and widebody moments whilst still maintaining movements for cargo also.

I am focusing on a 2021-22 hybrid season to allow a selection of aircraft to be featured that I didn't have chance to at the time or to allow for movements that are no longer active in the present day.

We start with U28163 easyJet A319 G-EZDK as the first passenger departure of the day along with general apron shots of based aircraft.

These are lovely! Really great! That DHL 777F looks really good on the ramp, sitting next to the UPS Jumbo
