This page is designed to give a bit more background about the videos I currently have on my YouTube page, www.youtube.com/user/bananamanuk

I hope this is useful for finding videos that appeal to you.

To find a specific airline or aircraft please use the CTRL + F search facility.

Question - Why are some videos Standard Definition, Some HD720 and others Full HD 1080?

Answer - Youtube only allowed HD video uploads late in 2009. HD videos are very large in size and longer videos take a much longer time to upload, therefore the lower the resolution the faster the upload.

Without being too lazy, there really are too many to mention! However footage is taken from Stansted, Southend, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Dublin & Galway Airports.

OK I don't think my videos get much more varied or editorially complex than this. IN fact you'll notice a couple of sound gliches as my PC was pushed to the max! This video is a compilation of the videos I made in 2011. Note this is a compilation video and is primarily set to music although there are a few engine roars in there from the venerable L1011 and MD80 to Boeing 747-8.

Who says I am not dedicated to the cause ... or should that be who says I am sad and need more abundance in my life.. whichever way you look at it I was up at 4am to get to Stansted for 5:30am with the expected first arrival of G-GSSF the 3rd of three Boeing 747-8's delivered to GLobal Supply Systems. AS it happens, the aircraft picked up significant delays as a result of bad weather in Delhi India so I missed the arrival but did catch the first revenue departure of this aircraft from the UK later in the afternoon. Also the first time seeing and hearing one of these takeoff.

Filmed on Christmas Eve 2011 this "festive" video includes my first 'movie-esque' title sequence. Moreover the video includes a number of lesser spotted carriers at Stansted. This video was filmed for Christmas but aside from a brief Xmas message in the titles I hope it can be enjoyed year round!.

Air Southwest was a UK regional airline set up in 2003 by Sutton Harbour Holdings to take over flights from the Southwest region of the UK to London and other major cities. In December 2010 Sutton Harbour, also the owner of Plymouth Airport, ASW's main base, completed a sale to Eastern Airways. On September 30th 2011 8 years of ASW operations ceased. The future of Plymouth Airport is in doubt. This video is a tribute to regional air transport which was highly regarded, made possible by the people of Air Southwest.

As always, I really hope you enjoy. Please share the link with your aviation friends and I look forward to your comments.

Air Asia X Airbus A330 - London Stansted Airport - AirAsiaX, FedEX 777 MD11, Iceland Air Cargo 757

www.youtube.com/user/bananamanuk

 

This video begins with an Iceland Air Cargo Boeing 757F landing at Stansted Airport, this was filmed earlier in 2011. Following the short title sequence is footage filmed on 24th September 2011, including FedEX Boeing 777 arrival and then another rare treat (I do keep trying to bring them to you!), as Air Asia X substituted their usual Airbus A340 aircraft with an A330 instead, I've included both the arrival and night time departure.

The video also includes a fantastic sounding private 767-300 in the form of VP-CME and a FedEX MD11 rounds off the departures.

As always, I really hope you enjoy. Please share the link with your aviation friends and I look forward to your comments.

Filmed in late summer at London's Stansted Airport, this video includes some new angles thanks to Essex Police's Planewatch scheme! We were afforded a rare opportunity to film aircraft from the opposite side of the airfield, albeit on a very wet day!

Filmed Sunday July 10th 2011, this video includes some very rare / one off arrivals and departures at London Stansted Airport. First among the arrivals is the Antonov AN12 propellar aircraft. The first time I've filmed one of these and what an amazing sight and sound. It looks like the engines burn coal!

I've included shots of a Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 operating a charter flight believed to be carrying Arsenal FC plus a BA Embraer departs. See a colourful Danish Air Transport DAT MD80 arrive and depart and bmi baby's new tail livery.

Following on from video #19 this year is another all close-up view from Manchester airport. ONce again, an ambitious title sequence and pumping beats accompany some footage that I am genuinely proud of - albeit Manchester affords some of the 'easiest' videography it still requires a technique to capture aircraft as well as possible.

I LOVE GALWAY
Really, the people, the beautiful scenery, the convenience of the airport only minutes from the hotel (Clayton) and it has everything, coasts, mountains the perfect chill out location. I'm becoming a regular through Southend now as well, this being my 3rd experience. Despite problems getting my laptop through security there, everyone was friendly and the flights were great.

There's no doubt that Manchester Airport in the UK offers the very best viewing locations for very many aircraft types and airlines. This video captures just 3 of many i've filmed (more to follow!?!?) in this case Singapore, Etihad and First Choice provide the views and some pretty loud engine sounds.

On Saturday 28th May 2011 Stansted Airport was absolutely jam-packed with spotters. Belmer Road and all the normal spotting locations were totally full. Alas I was late and ended up filming overhead shots for some of the arrivals, however I managed to get many more departures for the UEFA Champions League movements. The final was held in Wembly between Manchester United and Barcelona. Numerous Spanish charters were organised to transport spectators..

This video captures the departure of the Obama entourage from London Stansted as he continued his tour into mainland Europe. Note that as President Obama was travelling on one of the Boeing 757's, it was that which had the Air Force One callsign rather than the 747.

President Barak Obama had been in Ireland on 23rd May 2011 and was due to remain there overnight until continuing his EU trip through Stansted on 24th May to meet with UK Government. However due to a new volcanic ash cloud from Iceland the trip was moved forward. I had to rush and pack everything and get to Stansted as rumours were abound about his early arrival. IN the event he did arrive a day early but in the darkness. However it was an amazing site to see this aircraft at Stansted once more.

Another trip up to Manchester for a few days to get some new aircraft and some unbelievably closeup shots. No question that this is the best and most supportive airport for aviation enthusiasts and families. This is just a short snippet more videos to follow.  Filmed May 21st - 23rd 2011.

Realising that filming the same Global Supply Systems 747's and the same Ryanair/ EasyJet it's clear that the only options for something interesting are the rare visitors to Stansted. This video includes Air Berlin A330 on a charter taking film crew for new Clash of Titans film. A nice livery on a good looking aircraft.

See shots from Coral Beach, Cliffs of Moher, Dunguire Castle, Galway City Centre as well as the flight home.

Following my trip on Aer Arann's launch flight I decided to go back to Galway for a couple of nights over Easter. Southend & Galway Airports have to be the easiest airports to travel through. Very pleasant. This video captures the whole takeoff, flight over Harlow and landing in Galway.

Following my capture of FedEx's first 777 arrival at Stansted (see video 4) I went back to capture it in daylight hours along with a bunch of other Stansted regulars (and not so regular!). I took a gamble on this video - I wanted to capture the 777 but I tried panning at full zoom, from a FedEX MD11 up to the approaching 777 - believe me, that's not easy! but thankfully it worked.

OK by now you must all know that I really like Aer Arann. Well I was lucky enough to book on the launch flight from London Southend Airport to Galway March 27th 2011. I've never done a launch flight before and along with TV cameras, dancers, music, cake and complimentary drinks I took a few pics (one was published in Flying In Ireland in May 2011) and this video captured some of the bits from launch day.

Who doesn't like a little bit of turbulence!?! OK, I'm weird! This video includes some shots of aircraft coming in to Stansted airport on a particularly windy afternoon. Great piloting skills and interesting approaches, I genuinely think these often look more dramatic from the outside. Anyway, enjoy the bumps. Filmed 5 Feb 2011 ps. hope you like the choreographed kestral!

In August 2010, Aer Arann entered Irish Examinership, similar to the Chapter 11 process in the USA. Aer Arann was forced into this measure primarily as a result of the volcanic ash cloud which resulted in a drop in cashflow. My video is an advert/promotion for my favourite regional airline. Aer Arann is important for the jobs of many people and enables easy connectivity to the Irish regions. **AER ARANN HAS APPROVAL TO LEAVE EXAMINERSHIP ON WEDS 10TH NOV 2010***  I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

The things I do to film aircraft! A rather boring visit to Stansted with Ryanair after Ryanair turned into something very interesting when the weather changed from warm autumnal sunshine to menacing skies and the arrival of a Saudi Boeing 777 - OK I was filming in the rain but there's some footage here that I am very proud of - especially the close up on the wheels of the 747F.  I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

Despite having countless hours of aircraft video it is very rare to capture any sort of emergency situation - thankfully! . This video was shot 27th Sept 2010 at Manchester Airport and features a Condor (Thomas Cook) 767-300 making an emergency landing complete with numerous fire trucks at both ends of the runway. Despite a pretty fast and hard landing and lack of flaps this was a routine landing - thank goodness.  ITS FREE TO SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL PLEASE VISIT AND COMMENT.

A planned trip to Manchester Airport in July didn't go according to plan as I got sick - but I bravely soldiered on!!! and managed to get some of the most breath-taking images I have ever filmed.

This video was shot on a nice spring day at London Stansted, however it was pretty windy and all arriving aircraft were coming in at angles to compensate. It's amazing to watch, especially on the larger aircraft as the wings flex.   I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

Playing around with some footage taken in 2009, I found a nice surprise in the form of an Omni Air DC10 landing at Stansted Airport. Both Airline and aircraft are not common at Stansted so it was a lucky capture for me and I thought a good upload for youtube. I do like the trijets.  I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

Luton is quite a nice airport to visit, it's London's 4th busiest and has a good range of airlines and therefore a good range of colourschemes. This video primarily shows closeup landing shots. It also includes my first ever capture of an EASYJET A320  I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

Who says I only film turboprops and smaller aircraft!?! Just in case you had any doubts in mind, this HD video of footage shot at both Dublin Airport and Manchester Airport features some of the world's largest aircraft up close. A short tile sequence with elegant piano music set against a backdrop of big engines flows into the main feature of the video with big noise as the planes taxi past extremely close. A variety of airliners and airlines are featured.   I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

Aer Arann launches Aer Lingus Regional with new paint scheme on their own ATR aircraft This video celebrates Aer Arann's own brilliantly original colour scheme with closeups of the ATR72-500's in their Celtic Rings livery prior to the repaint. ATR72-500 EI-REO

AS you may have guessed by now, Aer Arann have become a special airline to me, mainly because they fly to the heart of Ireland's west on fantastic ATR aircraft. I flew to Galway in March 2010 and was extremely lucky to be scheduled on EI-REO which had undergone painting just days earlier into the new Aer Lingus Regional colours. I've flown on almost all of Aer Arann's aircraft and was very impressed by their previous original livery "The Celtic Rings/Triskels" and this video celebrates that livery before showing how the ATR72-500's now look.    I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

British Airways taxi and takeoff at London City Airport A318 G-EUNB

British Airways began transatlantic flights from London City Airport using A318 aircraft. With it's short runway, BA became the first airline to operate such as large airliner to the STOL (short takeoff landing) airport. This video sees the taxi and takeoff. Configured in a premium layout of just 36 seats the outbound routing is via Shannon, ROI to refuel and use the pre-clearace facilities although return flights are direct.   I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

I've been shooting my videos in full HD1080 for a long time now, but had only ever edited and uploaded in standard definition. With YouTube changing and encouraging HD content, I began uploading some test videos. Unfortunately 1080 videos take an age to upload on my connection so depending on the urgency of upload I'll flip between 1080 and 720dpi for now. Also editing these on a Pentium 4 machine takes a lot of resources!!

Anyway, this first attempt at a HD video impressed me so this is the start of many!   I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

In December 2009 there was some reasonably decent snowfall and some beautiful sunny days with wonderfully orange sunsets, so I headed over to Stansted to film some action with a winter setting. Some of the captures here are firsts for me, notably the Iceland Air Cargo and MD11 smokey engine startup along with the views of snow blowers in action. On such still days the sound is really rich and detailed. This being the last video for 2009 prompted an extra long title sequence of tightly edited shots of as many airlines and aircraft that I could squeeze into a 2 mins soundtrack from footage taken from Stansted, Manchester, Dublin and London City during 2009..   I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

December 16th 2009 marks another sad day in aviation as 800 employees and thousands of customers learn that FlyGlobespan has gone into administration. The airline had been seeking £10 million in additional funding but the deal with a Jersey based company failed. I've seen Flyglobespan aircraft at Stansted, Glasgow, Dublin and Edinburgh and they once even saved my stranded parents who missed a flight home from Tenerife on another carrier! It's always sad to think of the people that make a company ad losing their jobs so close to Christmas. It's not much, but this is my tribute to the men and women of Flyglobespan.   I REALLY LIKE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY VIDEOS SO PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

I was approached by the CEO of an Irish company called flyfearless.com who specialise in helping people overcome their fear of flying. Following a few discussions I offered to create a video specifically showing images that a person flying an ATR Aircraft may encounter at the airport as well as the sights and sounds of flight. (Incidentally, Fly Fealess were running the course using Aer Arann ATR aircraft). I hope this video is a fair r
