Just love the Connie shots, and a great set all round

I’ve just done a Google search which lead to a thread on Fighter Control. (Sorry but I couldn’t copy a link on my phone). This is the gist of it: “All 3 of the CAF CF-104 sqns of 1CAG(441, 439, 421) at Sollingen had a team at one time or another from 1970-1980. They were either 4 or 5 ship teams (3/...

Cracking use of a great opportunity. Very well done

Nicely captured despite the weather's best efforts. It is a nifty aircraft, has a certain utilitarian charm about it.

Agreed! Thanks for posting.

It just so happened that I was in Milwaukee en-route to Oshkosh for the Air and Sea show in 2022, although not much evidence of the sea in these shots! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52311260799_565a0a3409_o.jpg USAF Heritage Flight F-22 Raptor and P-51D Mustang by Andrew Shaw , on Flickr https...

Thank you for posting. It is a great museum.

Just superb!
Many thanks for posting.

Great set George. Another vote for the Dragonfly.

In advance of downsizing at some point, I have copies of AI for the period (roughly) mid1974-mid 1984. Not all years are complete but there are probably c100 altogether. If anyone is interested, make me a (sensible) offer. Postage costs will have to be added in, or collection from Southend or one of...

One of the earliest public showings of the A10 was at Greenham Common for IAT 1977. (One was at Farnborough the previous year but I can't find my photos from that show 😡). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50697678842_a995bd78b0_b.jpg Fairchild Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II 75-0293 Greenham Common...

[/quote] Their annual reports (until a couple of years ago when they gave up submitting them) make interesting reading. All of their outgoings were simply admin costs, nothing to do with the aircraft, and net income over the three year period until 2021 was less than £6500. Also, it seems they haven...

Thanks Peter. It was the lack of an engine cowling that threw me off the scent. Any idea why it's been taken off?

I saw this recently trailing an advertising banner over Miami Beach. What is it? Of course had the wrong lens with me so it's quite heavily cropped, so not the greatest quality photo. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53592820084_195708c189_o.jpg _C1A7671 by Andrew Shaw , on Flickr Many thanks, Andy

Great set George - many thanks for posting.

An excellent set - many thanks for posting.

Some of these are a bit tenuous :smiley: This one is self-evident! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50952105446_bf42f27fec_h.jpg Airbus A320-216 Air Asia 9M-AFV by Andrew Shaw , on Flickr Hell Diver https://live.staticflickr.com/1879/30266372598_b9bbe5b1dd_o.jpg Curtiss Helldiver SB2C-5 N92879 by...

A very good set considering the conditions

I’m hoping this batch will post. I’m away from home and attempting to do this from my phone. The formatting may be odd too. Apologies if this is the case.

For me, it’s got to be Oshkosh. The scale and variety of aircraft to be seen at AirVenture takes some beating. After some 50 years in the hobby I finally made it in 2018, and managed another visit in 2022. [url][/https://flic.kr/p/2jpncXB https://flic.kr/p/N7x57j https://flic.kr/p/2jpCr1k https://fl...

Cracking set, and I do like a Twotter

Superb set Andy
