Re: Topic of the week#94 Favourite place

Thanks for sharing all your excellent photos. I particularly enjoyed Tony's selection from Lossiemouth, Paul's Phantom and Buccaneer, and Andy's UH-1s. Sorry to have to make you pick another topic and winner Bernard but I've picked your low Jaguar GR3 at Florennes. The Spanish Mirage was rather nice...

Topic of the week#94 Favourite place

Thanks again to Bernard for choosing my photos. I struggled to think of anything for this one but came up with the idea of a maximum of five images from your favourite place. Could be an airfield, seaside airshow venue, hilltop etc. One of mine is Davidstow Moor, a place I explored with my parents a...

So over to you, Pete

Re: Cornwall aviation heritage centre

Paid a quick visit to the site today. A desperately sad scene. The VC10 is looking very dirty and stained, a far cry from the lovely jet that I saw arriving there with a fanfare in 2013. The Lightning is present and hopefully will be saved. I’m less optimistic for the Canberra and Varsity which see...

Topic of the week#78: On your doorstep

Struggled to think of something for this week. With climate change in the news most days I thought about photos I'd taken that didn't involve flights or long drives. So this week - 5 images of anything that you haven't had to travel too far from home to see. The closer to home the better. Some examp...

Re: Topic of the week#75 USN & USMC

Nice variety of subjects and as always very difficult to choose just one.
It was good to see the P-3 (a few colourful VPs from the 70s would have made my job easier :laughing: ), the E-2s, Greyhounds and the E-6; but I'm going to pick the C-1A from GeorgeP.

Your turn George.....

You seem to have knocked this one on the head a few days early, if you are sure that you don't want to extend to the full week I'll think of a new topic.

ZJ164 doesn't seem to have been active for a while but ZJ165 flies most weekdays. I've been hearing rumours of a replacement.

The CP-140 is still sitting on the ground at Newquay, no sign of any activity around it so I doubt you'll be seeing it today, or tomorrow.

Your CP-140 (140108) arrived at Newquay this evening and took a long time to shut down, the crew gathering around afterwards with much head scratching. Apparently there is an issue, it may be a bit late arriving at Fairford tomorrow.

Why always the debate about weather, if you have a ticket then you are going.
Not always. I had a ticket for Friday 2019, my alarm went off at 4am, I checked the weather forecasts and rolled back into bed. I know a few people who did the same.
