I applaud any Organiser that arranges & facilitates the opportunity for enthusiasts to attend these special events, particularly so when the profits go to worthy causes. That's very kind of you to say. My response was not a criticism; I felt it necessary to give context to the hindering of phot...

Photos of it have been on their Facebook and web site since February. The event was marketed as the first public event at which the Mustang was set to appear, and that's exactly what it was. Darren Harbar photographing the aircraft for Air Leasing last month doesn't change that. The Kawasaki & ...

There have been changes to both line-ups - highlighted in bold - while I'm able to confirm that Jersey Jerk and several other aircraft are to run at Sywell, and all aircraft are to run at Breighton. Subject to serviceability, of course.

Tickets still available for both events, see here.

I think Breighton is a certainty, see you there mate! See you there! A quick participation update for the Sywell nightshoot: Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation CA-18 Mustang Jersey Jerk Zivko Edge V2 N540BM (Ben Murphy competed in this aircraft in the 2018 and 2019 Red Bull Air Races) Tickets (£30) ...

Two nightshoots are to be held at Sywell Aerodrome, Northants and Breighton Airfield, North Yorks in March with proceeds from the events going to the Thomas Castle Aviation Heritage Scholarship. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53500855189_3712e7a179_b.jpg Sywell - March 16th Aircraft confirmed b...

Maybe change it to weekly to see how things get on. Sometimes 48hrs isn’t enough time - I’ve had particularly busy weekends of periods at work where I’ve missed a competition I’d quite like to have entered. It would also make it easier to pick new topics if we're not getting through three and a hal...

I thought I'd give people an update on the Desford's return to flight. I'd planned to write an article about all this for Aeroplane when the aircraft had been issued with its permit to fly, but things have changed slightly over the past few days(!). The Desford has flown on nine occasions since maki...

Evening Martin, as I said in my emailed reply to you yesterday - "....I don’t doubt your information, but any specific questions can only be answered by the County Council"

It’s not a question.

Should anyone be interested, here's where the Desford is up to.

To receive a permit to fly, it requires ten hours of flight testing. Nine hours and five minutes of that has been completed.

Virgin Atlantic 747-400, G-VLIP, touching down at Manchester one sunny morning in May 2018. I was working for Swissport at the time and about three hours or so after shooting it, I was in the bulk hold loading it for a trip to JFK. Happier, simpler times. https://cdn.planespotters.net/14788/g-vlip-v...

It may have been military types, as there are no complete Hermes left as far as I'm aware. Just the fuselage of G-ALDG at Duxford as part of the British Airliner Collection. I suppose it could theoretically be turned back into a complete Hermes if a Hastings was to be scrapped and its wings and emp...

Thanks to Andy for the kick up the arse to remind me I'm meant to be judging this - not that it matters as Tom's done my job for me. There's no topping Peter's shot of the Binman roaring out of Birmingham as far as I'm concerned. Dan's shot of the VARIG MD' a very close second - a fantastic combinat...

Genuinely surprised to have come out on top in the Raspberry Ripple thread. Seeing as it’s the 50th anniversary of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10’s maiden flight later this year, I’d like to see your best shots of Douglas and McDonnell Douglas jets. For clarity: DC-8, DC-9, C-9, DC-10, KC-10, MD-11 and...

Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, N787BX (c/n 40692), visited Manchester Airport on April 24, 2012 as part of the Dream Tour - a six-month global sales pitch.

Lovely shots, Stuart - do you know why the 809 NAS machine was jacked up?

A real shame that TBAG are on the look out for new premises.

Here's the official statement: https://www.farnboroughairshow.com/news ... g-fia2020/

There are 22 public service obligation air routes in the UK. Loganair operate 12, AirTask (Hebridean Air Services) hold eight, while Flybe and Eastern Airways each have one.

I'd expected that this would have been reported before, but apparently not... Long-time White Waltham resident, Fairey Gannet ECM.6 XA459, was seen being transported to its new home at Solway Aviation Museum, Carlisle Airport, earlier today:
