Scone - bitterly cold but a warm welcome

Yesterday, Sunday was the day after the Scottish Aero Club's Christmas party.
While there was a few sorry heads around there was also a few brave souls fit enough to go flying in the cold December weather.

A based Jabiru.

The SCAA EC135 had a very quiet day, I don't think it flew at all.

The flexwing boys really suffered, lots of calm but very cold air.

Some of the Vermin Squadron from Fife Airport came over to say hello, it was good to catch up with old friends.

Decided on a little late shooting, this based Eurostar in a striking colour scheme

...and a based Cessna 152, which was going to do a spot of night flying.

The star of the day, even though it is a regular visitor was this Beech 200. I'm grateful as ever to friends in high places that put up with me and my camera.

All were shot with the Fuji X-Pro1 using either the 21mm or the 18mm lens.

Looks cold! Nice collection though. I like the last one with the light.
