Great entries chaps, really enjoyed these. The winner is Peter's picture of me.......!!! Nope, in all seriousness, I love Spiny Norman's comet shot, well done. The design of the seats, the instrumentation, you can just feel the atmosphere through the image. Shout out to Peter's KC135 stick though, g...

While digging around for these I came across this photo of a strange chap sitting in the cockpit of a KC-135...

Gosh he looks like a right nerd!

Most all of my cock-shots have my ugly mug in them - I presume they’d be an automatic disqualification on the basis of health risk to the viewers

Too much information pal.......too much.....

Cockpits. And the same to you! This is a subject that I actually haven't got that many images of so let's see your best 'office' shots - photos must be from inside or looking in to a cockpit as per the examples below, external closeup shots will be disqualified. God I miss Jaguars . . . . . https://...

Ahhh cheers! I'll have a ponder and bung one up swiftly. That was my first A400 low level, incidentally. I heard it whine through the valleys a very, very long time before it eventually appeared!

Only just found out today that Jim Radford passed away at the start of the month. He performed a very moving song that he wrote himself as part of the D-Day 70 celebrations.

Thanks. I'd not been to that particular spot before so I was pleased with how elevated you are above the runway. There are some quite spectacular videos on Youtube from the 'Flugsnug' channel I think (?), there are some landings in bad weather with a crosswind adding to the mix, landings accenuated ...

I took a rash decision to dash over to Birmingham Airport on Wednesday afternoon as an An-74 was due to arrive at 2pm. It eventually arrived shortly after 3pm to my delight as it meant I didn't have to rush to get there so much! I was really glad I went, it was my first spotting trip of the year!! A...

I really should get round to editing the rest of the images from this day! Was it really 6 years ago that the Canadian Lancaster came over here?? There was a real air of anticipation that day in The Peak District with a fair few people dotted around the hills surrounding Ladybower. We managed to get...

not specifically mentioning a plane but

Je suis un rock star by Bill Wyman (BEA)

It actually mentions Concorde.

ELO - "Calling America" mentions a 747

Does Airport by The Motors count?

Just wow!!!!

Back to 10th August 2012 and my first 'proper' Eagles in the loop after 10 years! A few GR4s and the most amazing sunset at Barmouth that I've ever seen in my life. https://live.staticflickr.com/8212/8341753927_189a17dd88_o.jpg McDonnell Douglas Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle by Ian Garfield , on Flickr ...

Wow, so many great entries! Interesting to see how you've all interpreted the theme. I must give a few shoutouts to Shaun and his superb Rafale shot; Aaron's Flanker; Tuckat's Hawk; and Peter's GR4 from Bluebell - ahh happy memories of that climb, eh?! Dan's late entry of the absolutely gorgeous Blu...

We had some good entries when I chose this for our UKAR staff competiton a while back so I'd like to see your shots on the theme of 'blue'. Bonus points for thinking outside the box, it's not always about the colour!

Over to you!!

Thanks! I was going to bin that shot, it was a heavy crop as you can probably tell, I think it's just about passable!!!

Topic to come soon

Two from me https://www.iangarfield.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/FP-Slider-20-e1595937420912.jpg I love the contrast between dark and light cloud on this one, this F16 was spot on between the two! https://live.staticflickr.com/4826/45379901624_fcf52f2daa_h.jpg Fairford 2016 by Ian Garfield , on ...

Great stuff!!
