Here are a few from Rochford/Southend over the years - or as they now like to call it, London Southend 😄I haven't taken photos there since 2019. 1976 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49718587843_a38a0456d4_b.jpg Carvair G-AOFW by Andrew Shaw , on Flickr 2001 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51...

New topic now up!

I don't think this subject has been covered yet. So, fixed wing or rotary from any country either in service or in a museum. The usual five. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54521878889_86d0151f90_h.jpg ATR-42MP Italian Coastguard MM62170/10-01 by Andrew Shaw , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr...

Thank you - I'll think of a new topic during the day and get something up later this evening.

Fab set of images, and another vote for the Spit pair.

Cracking set Prof.

Great set - unfortunately I couldn't be there Lovely shot of the desert camo Spitfire.

As an aside Prof, do you shoot RAW or JPEG? I strongly recommend RAW as it gives very much greater possibilities when editing in (say) Lightroom. For example, you'd be able to reduce glare on the fuselage of the Skyhawk without changing the rest of the image.

I was in the area so decided to make the 45 minute trip to Breighton for the fly in. Not a vast number of airframes (or people which was a plus), but an enjoyable few hours. It also gave me the opportunity to introduce my 6 year old grandson to aviation and photography! https://live.staticflickr.com...

Great set Wes. As George said, you won the double!

...and according to the DVLA.. "AEC PRV ROUTEMASTER"

A selection from Season Openers at Old Warden: 2018 - there's nothing like some grass cuttings to show that spring is here. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/42004214451_ed8c5a757d_h.jpg Bristol Blenheim Mk1 L6739/ G-BPIV by Andrew Shaw , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40197009380_c...

It was!

Some really interesting pictures of some pretty rare types. Being interested in "civilian" aviation the Beech Starship at the Kansas Aviation Museum was a surprise but what was the V-tailed 2-seater sitting between the "Tweety Bird" and the KC-135? Not one I've come across befor...

Great set

Last September we went on another US road trip as a part of our mission to visit all 50 states. It began in Atlanta and ended in Omaha, Nebraska so I was able to tick off another 5 states I hadn't been to before and managed to visit a few museums en route. Here are a selection from each location. Bu...

Just found this one from Greenham Common in 1974 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50082094881_cd975f62b4_h.jpg Lockheed C-121C 54-0157 192 TEWS/ Penn ANG by Andrew Shaw , on Flickr And one from the Biggin Hill Battle of Britain show in 1974 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50316506857_4ee41a7d...

What a great museum - many thanks for posting.

Andy

Many thanks for these - another great set. I didn't know about the long-tailed Blackbird either. Time for a bit of Googling!

Superb set - but the firework shots are outstanding
