Did Biden just make the blunder that will cost him the election? During his virtual rally he appears to still think 'George' is president until his wife prompts him. As Obama says, never underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up. Of course, he still has the postal votes in the bag already but T...

We don't often see liberals inherit a poor economy so this will be a real test for the theory. ... You say you're putting faith in the American people. That suggests you think you'll benefit in some way. I'm curious how. Obama and Biden took it on just after the last financial crash. The US economy...

Nice set. What does the red lettering on 314 say?

Trump didn't have any new ideas or policies. In effect he was saying vote for me and you'll get more of the same. But that's precisely the problem he's got, isn't it? More of the same isn't cutting the mustard; he's losing in the polls, traditional republican voters are leaving him and he's got not...

I don’t think that matters to Trump devotees. The entire election is sort of pointless, in a way. Agreed, but in the context of this debate, we're talking amongst ourselves on this forum. I don't see how someone with no policy, nor the ability to land any blows to his opponent, could ever be deemed...

Elaborate then. What are Trump's goals for a second term? He's running the exact same campaign he was four years ago - "MAGA". There's no substance, and if he's still campaigning on building walls, then his first term was a failure, no? He's been promising a new health plan for months. It's always "...

Second debate. Trump win. Biden was stuttering and seemed incoherent at times. Didn't handle the questions about family corruption well either. OK, so I've watched this debate in full now and I don't really see how anyone could come to the conclusion that Trump comes out better? He lost his cool se...

I haven’t watched it yet, but most of the reaction I’ve seen suggests it was a disaster for Trump and completely lop-sided...

Right, OK, let's do this. Ask me again in ten minutes and I'll give you a different answer, but anyway. Honourable mentions to CJS for his low-angle Tornado (but you're right, the table ruins it), Stu for the lovely shot of the Tutor in fabulous light, Alisdair for the interpretation of the theme wi...

Is it fair to say this is the highest quality one we've had? I'd say there's at least 12 photographs that could easily win this.

Yeah, I’m having a very difficult time trying to judge this one.

I think I’ve narrowed it down to 18 at the moment!

[plug]In the latest UKAR Podcast, Sam surmises that - photographically speaking - the cockpit of an aircraft acts like the eyes of an animal and that a photograph without the cockpit visible "isn't nearly as satisfactory as one with, like a topside".[/plug] Let's test his theory - show me shots of t...

Thank you Sacha.

Apologies for the delay, I'd missed this and someone had to nudge me. I'll put a new one up shortly.

Fab shots Tom, and what a stroke of luck with the weather!

That's not how this hobby usually works - you normally spend all day under the sun until the minute anything moves, then cloud rolls in from nowhere!

Coped with it quite well though - I love the processing on the first one.

Unless plans have changed, it's just the north east corner of the airfield. It was ready for the original 31st March 2019 date IIRC (or maybe it was one of the other deadlines, I can't remember) - it's certainly been prepped for a while anyway. It occupies land around the exit gate that was used for...

Nice varied set Shaun, love the pairs approach.

How far up the private track were you for that shot of 541 taxiing to the hold? I wasn't far from the gate and I was still more or less head-on.

Your photo is from 18th May 2019, at his kickoff rally in Philadelphia.

Those algorithms man. Haha, yeah. Funny how that works. What had you watched to get his channel recommended? I'd seen a few CNN clips around the time Trump was talking about injecting bleach etc, and then that started to bring up Bryan Tyler Cohen's channel, but I found his stuff to be a little too...
