On Sunday I was lucky enough to visit the Harry S Truman while moored up in the Solent. When I say lucky, I mean like really privileged ...... So here are some shots from the deck. There are others but I won't bore the crap out of you with all of them https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1934/44343016655_...

Great set

Superb shots , love that place . Hope to do one last visit before 302 finish with the F-4

Excellent stuff ! Would love to attend that

Hi all, With the airshow season well and truly over for the year, I thought I'd try and brighten up the dull days with a look back to the open day at Campia Turzii in July. After a few days travelling around Romania in search of W&R the Saturday saw Simmo and myself attending the airshow at Camp...

Fantastic shots !

Visited Paris for a few days with the wife. Conveniently scheduled to take in the Bastille day flypast Some shots taken from Les Invalides. With thanks to my long suffering wife for her tolerance! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4301/35915233922_0a9087335c_b.jpg DSC_5561 by Mark Stevens , on Flickr h...

It's that time of year again. Mildenhall weekend.......or Spring bank holiday to the non aviation community Scanned in some negatives from the 1989 edition, all static park, I've yet to find the fliers. Hope they're of interest and bring back a few memories for the 40+ members on here ! For the youn...

As I had the day off, thought I'd pop over to Culdrose for the NH-90's.After thinking I was going to be out of luck as only 319 was parked outside, the other two arrived from the south, presumably from a ship. Annoyingly I was around by 25 when they arrived on 30 .Managed to get a brief blast of sun...

Great set Rich ! I love that place ! Currently planning another return trip

You missed out on many a good SM show sadly Kyle . Just scanning 1990 , so no doubt I'll be annoying you with those soon ............

Pretty chuffed this has been resurrected
Thanks for all the kind comments

Stunning Stuart , my all time favorite fighter

Hi all, It's been a fair while since I posted anything, so thought I'd give this a go . Just over 15 years a go now , I was one of a hand full of Brits that made the trip across to a very early KB spotters day . There were only a couple of hundred or so people on base , mostly dutch ! The day was or...

Beautiful . Love them all. Never did see a living Tp79 . Fantastic

They're fantastic ! What a superb collection of photographs. Those trips must have been superb

Wow ! I'll have to get back out there again ..................

Hi John, Good to meet you last Thursday . Superb punctuality on Friday ,as you guys came around the headland exactly the time you said you would ! Here's a few. I didn't quite have the height at my position to get the shot I was hoping for with more of the coast in shot . See you all later in the ye...

Very nice Pete. You must have been a little further along the coast to me

771sqn celebrated it's 76 anniversary today by putting up 6 Seakings on a coastal tour . Unfortunately the duty cab got called away on a shout . I popped out of work for an hour and heade for the north cliffs. The formation came right overhead but the backdrop makes up for it . Cheers, Mark http://i...

Hi All, Some scans from a rather wet and blustery day at Bierset in September 1993. Thankfully the sun made an appearance every so often. A day of firsts and lasts - my first Greek F-4's and although I've been lucky enough to photograph many since, these were the only ones I ever saw in the Aegean b...

Thanks for the comments:) The missile is a Popeye AGM-142 Have Nap . Makes the F-4 look even more brutal than usual .
Cheers,
Mark

Hi all, Last month I was fortunate enough to spend a couple of days on the Turkish air force base at Konya during the annual Anatolian Eagle exercise. Still trawling through the several thousand or so shots but thought I'd put a few (ok, lots) F-4's up in a post of their own. 11 Phantoms deployed fo...

With nothing better to do this evening, I thought I'd bore you all with a few scans taken at St Mawgan in March 1988. The novelty of being able to get to St Mawgan just after passing my driving test resulted in numerous visits ! Just a few for now......... Cheers, Mark https://farm8.staticflickr.com...
