Re: IMPORTANT - Future of UKAR
Thanks for the concern about my health. Unfortunately I'll be needing a new kidney in a few years but it's not holding me back at the moment. While digging around I found the first incarnation of this here site. Things have moved on a bit. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1915/44432836195_476686c74f_b...

Re: IMPORTANT - Future of UKAR
Dear members, Since its inception in 1996, UKAR has been run and largely funded from the pocket of its owner and creator, Paul Osborne. For personal reasons, he is no longer able to continue to fund UKAR and has handed the website to the (volunteer) staff team – with the exception of the domain. Th...

Re: Germany Navy at West India Dock
From what I saw I didn't see a chopper on board. If you're worried about parking you can park at mine for a nominal fee!

Re: End of an era, my take
Thanks. First one was actually done in camera with multiple exposure. Took a few shots to get right but I was quite happy with the way it turned out.

Re: Annoying Heathrow Noise
I don't live a million miles from Blackheath. Only aircraft coming off the Biggin and Ockham stack would overfly Blackheath and even then some would turn early, avoiding Blackheath altogether. They're usually around 4500-500ft as they turn onto the 27s. There is a possibility aircraft coming from th...

Seen the Surinam aircraft before but only as it flies over London on a Saturday afternoon. It's their only A340 I believe.

Re: Northolt Night Photoshoot XVI
I'm not usually one to make wild demands but what are the chances of getting an AAC Apache? They're regulars over London and quite often drop into airfields for circuit training.

Re: Royal Victoria Docks 16/09/13 (+ Jarre 1988)
In the first shot you can see Cascades, one of the first modern residential blocks, just to the right of the cranes in the center. That's on the west side of the Isle of Dogs. I remember walking round the docks on the Isle of Dogs one Sunday and it was dead, nobody about. Now it has the highest hous...

Crappy photos but you can at least see what it is in the second photo. As the Sentinel tracked SE over London and its return leg. http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww221/paulosborne69/IMG_6147.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww221/paulosborne69/IMG_6150.jpg

Re: Bombardier GLEX
I noticed this overhead London just before 20:30 and wondered what had made it. Contrail stayed visible and motionless for half an hour at least and only disappeared due to fading light.

Ummm, might have been me. Though not as fast as a car that overtook me and got pulled by an unmarked car following him.

The Ghost Stations series of books are a good read and have detailed accounts of some of the above. Have to get used to the author talking about the "despicable Japanese" though
