Just had a Spartan 7W Executive (N17616) rumble over Edinburgh at about 10,000ft. Doesn't appear to be one of the UK-based examples and it appears to have been recently sold. Any know where it's off to, bit of a beggar to spot but looks like it was heading south.

Nice to see G-BTVX making a visit! First aircraft I ever flew

Best thread of the month! Awesome photos, awesome(r) variety!

What a truly awesome set of images Paul, looks like halcyon days! Good to see that the tradition of the arrivals days being in glorious weather and the show weekend being slightly more inclement hasn't changed!

Ooooh hello!? Lovely photos, the An-148 is a curious looking thing!

Phil had one on a Northolt night shoot some years ago - when was that?

2013 I do believe was when it appeared at Northolt. The Sabreliner has actually been to the UK earlier this year, made a visit to Boscombe Down in April

It's certainly a characteristic little thing, especially with the bright yellow smiley face on the tail of the aircraft. It'll certainly be a shame if the aircraft isn't taken on by the Historic Flight, or at least placed on display at a museum.

Portland looks like a brilliant place for some close-quarters photos! Nice work

A surprise arrival at Edinburgh Airport yesterday was this Swedish Air Force Rockwell Sabreliner Tp86. Now the only one flying with the Swedish Air Force, it is also the only airworthy Sabreliner to based anywhere outside of North or South America. Sadly I missed its arrival, but was great to hear t...

Good to see something from Wattisham, nice set! Lovely light on the last few

Nice photos Dan, lovely light!

Well it looks like the Beaufighter wreckage that was discovered on the sands at Cleethorpes didn't last long (figuratively speaking). However, this article doesn't make it particularly clear if they moved the bomb away from the wreckage. https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby-news/royal-nav...

Nothing particuarly exciting On This Day, especially in comparison to the quality of the previous posts. Just a normal day at Bournemouth Airport, with the Islander going up on an air-test prior to delivery to FLN in Germany and the ex-MOD/Babcock going up for yet another upset recovery training ses...

Some lovely looking subjects on here already, great variety. My choice from a relatively limited number of after dark photos I've taken:
RAF Lockheed C-130J Hercules C.5 - ZH880 by ledwooddaniel, on Flickr

Two years ago saw the 2018 edition of La Ferté-Alais, the first time I'd visited and my goodness what a show it was! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49912589438_2d3e3950df_o.jpg Private Vought F4U-5NL Corsair - 124724 (F-AZEG) by ledwooddaniel , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/4991...

For some reason 18th May has always seen me get up to something aviation related. 2017 resulted in a visit to the de Havilland Museum at London Colney. Will definitely have to make a return visit with the new hangar now being open. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49910023486_b62508c2d8_o.jpg Roy...

Arguably the finest aircraft ever conceived by de Havilland (although granted I am incredibly biased).

Flybe Bombardier DHC-8-402Q - G-JECK by ledwooddaniel, on Flickr

Still one of my favourite photos that I've taken!

Most people take a chair with them to an airshow, some even go to the extent of using ladders to get a better vantage point. This lad combined the two and is clearly having a jolly good time atop his Hind (available to purchase in all good hardware stores). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/498976...

Lovely stuff Shaun, great variety. For the uneducated amongst us (me), what is the Ten Tors Challenge?

And of course, the best of the bunch is the 'Piper Demo Team' (they're called The Victors for future reference Andy)

Personally, one of the best solo aerobatic displays has to be the Equipe de Voltige de l'Armée de l'Air. In the hands of Victor Lalloue, the unlimited aerobatics routine he performed in his Extra 330SC at the Paris-Villaroche Air Legend in 2019 was spectacular. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49...

Said it once and I'll say it again, great to see such a strong warbird scene in New Zealand! Nice shots!

On this day back in 2015, with weather very similar to what's currently being enjoyed in the UK. Arriving into Bournemouth during the last light of the day was this US Navy C-40A Clipper. Annoyingly the aircraft arrived later than estimated, a crying shame with the evening weather being so sunny! ht...

Looks like the 10th April was a busy day for quite a few people. Here's a few of mine of Exercise Joint Warrior 19-1 from Prestwick Airport last year, in some unbelievably clear weather as well! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49756810638_1e39417580_o.jpg DSC_7825 - Copy by ledwooddaniel , on Fl...
