Three from the Loop from autumns past... October 31st 2008. Ian and I spent the day up Corris Corner to make the most of the colourful autumn backdrop. No frontliners that day, apart from a German Tornado that teased us with a couple of high passes. This was the best of the day for the autumn colour...

Nothing from the 90s from me unfortunately... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50090985627_d6a7723348_o.jpg Tornado GR.4 ZG750 Departs RIAT 2017 by Peter Starling , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/4794/40669043692_d282c16d75_o.jpg Jaguar XX725 by Peter Starling , on Flickr https://live.st...

Many thanks all.

Andy, mostly around 1000th to 1600th. They move surprisingly fast when going for a fish!

At the end of October we spent a week on our favourite Scottish island, the Isle of Mull. It was wet and windy almost every day but luckily the weather cleared on the last day to allow us to get out on a boat to see the white-tailed sea eagles... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50555359377_fc518...

Thanks chaps. The photos were taken from a hide with a reflection pool all set up. It's only open by special arrangement at the moment due to Covid but normally it's open to all and free to use. (Donations welcome though to the Kirkcudbright Red Squirrel Group.) The squirrels are quite bold and don'...

Great work Shaun. A superb set of moody photos from some fantastic locations.

Back in August we spent a brilliant week in Dumfries and Galloway, the highlight of which was a couple of mornings spent with the delightful red squirrels near Kirkcudbright... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50312548807_3bb4885599_o.jpg Red Squirrel by Peter Starling , on Flickr https://live.st...

Well, this is more than a little bit tricky! Some fantastic entries here, I love the more unusual stuff. There's quite a few aircraft here that I'd forgotten about and some I'd never heard of! Special mention to Peter R's QinetiQ 1-11, now that is a nice photo. However, I've picked my top three base...

This time I'd like to see your best or most interesting photos of aircraft used for test purposes. That includes aircraft flown by test pilots (ETPS etc) and any aircraft used to test new technology/weapons etc. Three photos maximum please. A few raspberry ripples to get the ball rolling... https://...

Great, that's a nice surprise. I'll have a think and put up a new topic shortly.
