Nick and D90 awesome pics. Something I would have loved to have seen. D90 your last pic is real close to a friend of mine, who posted it on FB. Do you know Ian Mathews ? You look like you were stood next to him!
Today in 2007 I was at a very wet and dark (just like today! ) Warton.

Re: Aviation- On This Day
2016 and a cold evening at Brooklands shooting Delta Golf. Unfortunately she's quite a large aircraft in a small space with a cluttered background so the angles were limited. I only regret I wasn't able to get her lit up earlier this year with the giant green screen behind when The Crown were on site filming.

Hi IanF - thanks for your positive comments.

Don't think I know Ian Mathews but there were a lot of people there, mostly gathered in the same area, so not surprising there are very similar shots around.

Today in 2018 it was Hyakuri Airbase's Families Day, essentially a dry run for the airshow the following day. We were in the viewing area bright and early before the surrounding roads were closed.

Re: Aviation- On This Day
Back in 2017, I was enjoying a long weekend break in Gibraltar and managed to take in some Gibraltar Premier League action at the Victoria Stadium.
Being a football ground nerd, it’ definitely the most scenic one I have been to. Anyway, on to the aviation and the stadium is located next to the international airport. While I was there, a British Airways flight departed back to the UK so I was able to see the airport's process of closing and cleaning the road that crosses the runway before every arrival and departure.

Re: Aviation- On This Day
Day 3 back in 2008 at Conningsby. We wondered if we would get anything, as overnight it snowed.
When we arrived, we found the snow had only stuck on the black bits and the sun was coming out again.
We tried a new location for us for the first launches.
For December I think we were really lucky with the weather, the bonus being no haze.
