Saturday Spotting

While my daughters attended a seminar on becoming an Air Hostess this morning I went plane spotting for a few hours. As they were using runway 01 for arrivals and departures I decided to stay down the arrival end for a while as both E V A Air and China Airlines had aircraft models I hadn't seen before. Unfortunately E V A came in just as I was pulling up at the spot.

SINGAPORE A350-941 9V-SMD (CN 037)

CHINA AIRLINES B777-309 B-18003 (CN 43977)

After China landed I left were I was and drove up to a dedicated viewing area that is known as "the circle" so I could get some departures. As I was unpacking my ladder and camera I noticed China Airlines landing (again!!!) I was told by a few spotters there that as it was about to touch down, due to the gusting crosswinds it tilted sharply left and seem to have ben blown off centreline so the pilots excecuted a go round.
