Loving the railway photos, some great pics here. I've gravitated to photographing trains in the last couple of years, given the dearth of airshows, and the fact that I recently moved to mid-way between the KWVR at Keighley, and Hellifield, where you get the tours stopping for the Settle-Carlisie lin...

Just out of interest, in the above photo of the inside of the fuselage, what goes in the box with the strap on it?

Yes, when I sorted mine out they said I'd get a message from Wendy shortly to arrange the DD, for 5 monthly payments.

Just got mine sorted today having got the email earlier in the week, very helpful person on the line. My application no was 416.
Down in the cheap seats as I sit down on the grass anyway.

Vulcan and Shackleton at Elvington would be v nice.

Gutted about the B-52s but not a lot we can do about it.
Hyped now, its RIAT after a break of 2 years, what's not to like, plenty to look forward to.
Can't do Arrivals this year (which is my favourite bit), but will be there in FRIAT Fri-Mon.
Happy Days.

Royal Jordanian Falcons have confirmed

Given Foxy Dave's travels this weekend, can we assume/hope that Snoopy is well locked up or hidden?

No sense of history anymore, just pandering to the 'pushy button, flashy lighty, low attention span' brigade these days.

Love the updates. Half the time I'm not sure what or where I'm supposed to be looking at a certain flange or bracket, but it is fascinating. Thanks for the work you are doing in restoring '788 and keeping us informed. Sadly, I've lived in Yorkshire 12 years and still not made it over to YAM. Will ad...

I wish I was in my second home of Houston this week (I spend about two months a year over there working). They are getting a flyover by the Blue Angels today and a 30 warbird flyover on Friday!!!

A400 circling Leeds area at the moment, some nice views of it over the Wharfe Valley

Mig-22 (plus military vehicles) at the Satriamandala Museum in Jakarta. Further back, but not visible is an A-4, DC3 and others. https://www.google.com/maps/@-6.2310592,106.8200509,3a,52.2y,222.99h,86.39t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sdgzLRIDkMSXxMOwloxLWAg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Huey a bit further up in the comp...

PBY-5A Canso Waterbomber, CF-101 Voodoo, Beechcraft 18s and a Lockheed Hudson Bomber, plus the backside of a DC3 at the North Atlantic Aviation Museum in Gander Newfoundland. A nice little museum. F-16s on the ramp at the main airport when I went through as well. https://www.google.com/maps/@48.9528...

A4 Skyhawk west of Denmark at the moment!

L-39 Albatros ( OK-MJA ) en-route from Siegen in Germany to St Athan, currently coasting-out near Ostend. Edited at 11:00hrs to add.... Looks like it's actually landed at Ostend ( refuelling? ) SWAG website has it listed as being due in at St Athan at 14:15hrs. Any update? Just gone over Central Lo...

Did anyone get a Thunderbirds T-shirt from the T-Shirt cannon in the FRIAT stand. The lad needs some serious aiming practice. People round the back of the stand probably got a shock as they landed in their cups of coffee!!

Cracking Pics.

Fantastic set, thanks for sharing those.

I'm sure in the Dambusters film, the take off for the raid shows them taking off three abreast on grass?

moans about nicknames for aircraft and lighting at museums, blimey, there's some miserable types on here at times

Just been sitting in the garden having a cuppa and was treated to a nice and loud Tonka flying west up the Wharfe Valley near Ilkley. Happy Days.

Hercules heading into LBA, just flown over me in Ilkley. Not sure if landing or touch and go.

The morning part of the Chivenor show looked as good as some we get these days!!

As for the afternoon ... wow, heaven.

Topped off by a raffle for the best car of the late 70's/early 80's a Ford Capri .......

I think the best candidate would be a certain triangle shaped four engine jet currently residing in South Yorkshire.

Imagine turning up at the G8 with that. Time to be taken seriously.
