Some nice stuff there Andy. I like the Hurricane. Marinell is one I think I never saw. I agree the aviation of the day thread has got me looking at stuff I had forgotten about, it's a great thread.

In 2008 I did a 3 day visit to Conningsby. here's day 1 https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_3756_2.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_3774_2.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket....

A nice set there Gary. The second is my favourite for some reason.... It looks like we was in when you visited with the crew door open. I liked the indoors stuff, working there, I don't get into the exhibits as much as I should. Thanks for sharing.

In 2009 I was at Waddington. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0805.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0816(1).JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_phot...

Nick and D90 awesome pics. Something I would have loved to have seen. D90 your last pic is real close to a friend of mine, who posted it on FB. Do you know Ian Mathews ? You look like you were stood next to him! Today in 2007 I was at a very wet and dark (just like today! ) Warton. https://hosting.p...

Thankfully Grosjean was speaking from his hospital bed last night. Incredibly he has suffered minor burns to his hands and bruising from the 53 G impact :open_mouth: I would not put it past him wanting to drive next week. Seeing him emerge from the inferno, was a miracle. They say he was trapped for...

Bahrain GP is currently red flagged. Any one who thought the halo was not needed was proven thankfully wrong today. Quite easily the worse crash I have seen in probably 20 years. Grosjean's car was cut in two and exploded. Massive fire. BUT he is alive and ok which is all that matters. The cockpit w...

Back to 2009. A sunny and very busy day at the fence of RAF Conningsby. We got there just before sunrise. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0023.JPG https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0026_2.JPG https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfi...

As you may have seen in the on this day thread. Today is Victor XL231 27th anniversary of her arrival at her home of Elvington. For those that do not know. she was bought by father and son Gerry and Andre Tempest. It lives at the Yorkshire Air Museum near York. She has been maintained all this time ...

Thanks to both of you. I am going to put a more detailed thread in oldies later. The runway shot is one of my favourite shots. I was tasked to cover the event in more detail than normal. The shots in the QRA pan with her moving was done with safety in mind no one is allowed in the area when taxing. ...

Back to 2013. Run day at Elvington. The 20th Anniversary event Of Lindy's arrival at Elvington. It was a big one with a lot of press and Tv media present. Some of the media did not quite know what they were covering, these two asking why the "parachute" was hanging out the back of the bomb! :grin: h...

Back in 2013 I was at Elvington on day 2 of our preparations for the 20th Anniversary run of Lindy's Delivery and ownership by Andre Tempest. In the morning we moved her onto the airfield. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_2236_2.JPG https://hosting.photobucket.com/image...

Back to 2007 at Warton. Leaving with a 2000lb LGB https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0766_1_2.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds coming back without it. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0771_2.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds The then...

Day 2 of the trip to Brize back in 2012. We found out later, this was on its way back from Afghanistan. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0001_2.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0006_2.JPG?width=1920&hei...

2012 saw me do a 2 day visit to Brize. The entire first day was taken up travelling. What should have taken 3 hours took 10! due to horrible wet weather, flooding everywhere. We got there with about 40 mins of light and we decided to check out if anything was flying. This was leaving Brize village d...

I was also at Brunty in 2015, I had helped set the shoot up to help the tea bag team. I could not stay as I was working on Lindy the day after Also not being a fan of re enactors in night shoots I got a few different angles before I left. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/04...

Warton 2009 was a very busy day. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_9800.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_9813.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds Note 2 LGB on board. https://hosting.photobucket.com/im...

In 2012 I was at Waddington. The base we had intended to visit was night flying so this was a good plan B. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_9730_2.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_9737_2.JPG?width=1920&...

2010 I was at my local, for some rare November sunshine. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0251_2.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0258_2.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket...

Back to 2008 and another lightning twilight run. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_3511_2.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_3514.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/image...

Rd the technical gadgets, will always change, DRS has changed agreed. Team orders. Not true If you were team mate to Schumacher you were number 2 no passing allowed! The never been easier is also a red herring, why because no one is stopping other teams developing a better car. Money doesn't guarant...

Agreed Derek. Today was done on skill not car performance, It is easy to say its the car not the driver as the reason for his wins. But the truth is as Derek says the car helps but still has to be driven. And he has done it without the dodgy tactics Schumacher and others have done.

I said it would be a leveller. Very interesting qualifying, with a wet start and a dryer finish, I wont spoil it, but deffo the most interesting Q3! It sets up a very interesting race.

Track was only finished 10 days ago, So practice 1 was like ice, 2 actually was a little better. Today it rained so 3rd practice was treacherous. Rain has stopped and qualifying is going ahead. Red Bull and Ferrari have done best so far. It is a real leveller performance wise. So this should make fo...

The best sounding engine in the world and one of the most beautiful aircraft all in one shot. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/IMG_0053.JPG?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds Taking the Lady for a walk. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i23/ianfinch_photos/040A0997.JPG?...
