Plane spotting from my back yard

Runway 01 in Brisbane has been active most of the week, which usually excites me since incoming aircraft flying into Brisbane often fly over or near my home. Unfortunately, the weather has been miserable, with frequent bouts of heavy rain. Yesterday morning, Runway 01 was still in use, so I took advantage of the mostly high clouds to do some plane spotting. Despite the light drizzle and occasional very dark skies, I decided to give it a go.

Brisbane had some exceptionally rare visitors this week. On Tuesday, a Conair Avro RJ dropped by for a few hours before departing. Wednesday saw a Silkway Airlines Ilyushin 76 arrive in the late afternoon and leave early the next morning. Thursday afternoon brought an Atlas Air Boeing 747 that went tech and stayed overnight. We were set to have two jumbos on the ground at once and parked next to each other, with a National Airways Boeing 747 arriving expected in around 5.30pm, but if arrived around 9pm and departing at 3am the following morning.
