Plane spotting on a miserable EKKA holiday

Yesterday Brisbane city had a public holiday for our annual show day called the EKKA. Even though the weather had been forecast for none stop rain, I still decided to get up at 4.30am and drive the 30-minute trip to our local airport. Sadly, the weather was worse than I expected. The calm, slow light drizzle was OK at first, then it turned wild. After four hours of plane spotting in strong wind and rain, I caved in, gave up and went home.
