BC Tam 2 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 I doubt if the Chinese will allow those creatures to be brought in now, not before all the special facilities required for their pampering (some say survival) are built and deemed up to the mark Sorry, OT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Today they are using 14L for landing only in the afternoon. There are some spots on the roadside to the LCCT where you can get some shots, maybe between or above the light poles. MPL arriving as MH 1 from LHR. Next month the equipment could be different. I didn't really stay long, as I wanted to check out another old favorite. Today I managed to drive all the way up the the old spot in the ladang, no mud due to the dry season and no gate either. Unfortunately the ladang as a spotting spot is truly dead, as the palm trees has grown tall. First time I went to the spot in at least 4 years, and don't think I'll ever go there again. Just hope that they'll use 14L in the morning; that is our last hope. Edited June 14, 2012 by Radzi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will have to make do with the limited available spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJong 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2012 Yeah so sad to hear that ladang is not longer suitable for spotting. I've not even got the chance to go spotting yet. So guess I'll have to do with Anjung Tinjau which I'll be there later this afternoon to hone my skill... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
