AlanM those are some of the most stunning photos I've ever seen, how hard was it flying light stuff through Africa?

Crikey that 74 is close to the runway edge. Where was it taken??

With regards to the 747 landing pics, I had an email with the same at work, along with this narrative:

"The importance of landing on centreline cannot be underestimated. Who needs a 150' or 200' wide strip? Actual shots are from a fairly impressive landing operation.

One of SAA's first B-747s retiring to Rand Airport, South Africa
(elevation 5568 feet with 4898 long x 50 feet wide runway!). The 747-100 outer-to-outer main gear tire width is 41.33 ft.
Empty aircraft Vref was 115 kts!

Right on the center line. An inch is as good as a mile. Nice work."

Just a couple:
This one is from just south of the Auckland control zone, overhead the Limestone Downs aerodrome. This is looking down the North Island's west coast. The hill in the background can be seen on the extreme left of the next pic.

This one is taken near the west coast township of Raglan. It's about two hours south of Auckland by car but has a grass runway, seen just above the centre of the picture, pointing almost directly at us. The camp ground is toward the near end of that peninsula.
