For over four decades I have been a rail and bus photographer.
However, during this time I have aimed the lens at other subjects, be they different transportation, scenery, buildings and other bollocks.
Given these do not really fit the scope of my other sites, I felt compelled to set up a new site so as to inflict my other photographic garbage upon the world.
While primarily Philippine and Australian content, there will be the occasional forays into Fiji and Hong Kong. Perhaps other locations should the current pandemic ever allow it.
So sit back and enjoy, or hate, even be indifferent. That choice is purely up to you.

NAIA MANILA BRGY MULTINATIONAL

 

Howdee one and all,

In this thrilling installment, we head down to the 'once' popular plane spotting location of Barangay Multinational in Manila.


I say 'once popular' as a second fence has now made it hard to get shots of anything that isn't flying over you. No doubt due to the ongoing paranoia of the security guards who kept trying to enforce a 'no photography from a public roadway' rule.

This was near on a decade ago now, so we will check out the planes of the time, plus have a little look at the barangay that runs along the fenceline.

For the Plunzels (or Avgeeks if you really prefer), I shall aim to include what the situation is for each aircraft is as of February 2021. I am not a fulltime Plunzel, so apologise for any errors, as I am going off information from elsewhere.

Lunch with the FILDAC guys before heading to Brgy Multinational.

This was the local diecast aircraft collectors group that I was involved with.

This random 747-400 shot turned out to be quite a bit of luck. Delta N661US is historic in that it was the first Boeing 747-400 built by the company.
First flight was in 1988 (N401PW), beginning around 8 months of testing, before being delivered to Northwest Airlines as their N661US in 1989.
In 2009, the merger with Delta Airlines saw her become part of their fleet.
Two years later I find her here in Manila.
Four years later, on September 9th 2015 (my birthday it turns out), she has her last ever flight, from Honolulu to Atlanta.
Unlike the other 747s in this blog entry, N661US was allocated to the 'Delta Flight Museum' and will be preserved.
