A request to use my picture…
I was pleasantly surprised a few days ago to receive an email from a lady in the marketing department at Jet2.com requesting the use of one of my old pictures on their website.
Channel Express Airbus A300 G-CEXI |

It’s an old picture taken back in October 2000 at East Midlands Airport (shown here) of a Channel Express cargo aircraft, an Airbus A300B4. Jet2.com is the new name for what was previously Channel Express (Air Services), the rename coming about in 2006 when Channex freight operations adopted the Jet2 branding formerly used for Channel Express passenger services, after which Jet2.com continued to operate all contract charter and freight flights. |
I was happy to agree to them using my image and I agreed that they could do this free of charge on this occasion because with it being an old image (scanned from an old Kodak print) I don’t have hi-res. They will use a lower resolution library picture on their website with a picture credit identifying it as my image.
Even though I’m no longer going out taking pictures I still have several hundred images out there on various photo libraries and it’s always a nice surprise when you get this kind of approach so long after taking a picture and uploading it.
