Last month we had very few (only 8) entries for POTM, and in the previous month there were just seven. I felt that when there were such low numbers then 3 votes was disproportionate and I raised this point with the other moderators. When there are a small number of entries then and if there are say ...

I doubt I'll get to see anything else as spectacular as this in November so I'll start off this month's entries straight away. The mightly Antonov An.225 departing Doncaster (aka Finningley) on Thursday (12th). A sight I shall remember for a long time https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5629/22781599600_...

thanks, you've got a nice radial as your avatar for a start

superb set, the first one is a cracker, the 727 is rather nice too BUT that 707!!!!!! I'd forgotten how good they look. I wish someone would give it's paintwork a bit of TLC though

thanks for posting them, I've almost stopped drooling

This is my finalised list for the 2016 SPOTM topics, I think there's a nice wide selection of topics. Thanks to everybody who contributed ideas and to the members who took part in the poll to decide the members' choices. The poll had a 3 way tie so all three topics have been included. I shall retain...

you're really getting spoilt at Doncaster at present, but the An225 has to be the icing on the cake. All nice pics though I have to say I enjoyed my 2 days there, 2 different locations but both had great views and I also met some nice people on the mound and in High Common Lane, not to mention the o...

Great set Andy, it's very hard to pick a winner. :thumbs: :thumbs: thanks Mike, picking the best is a bit of a dilemma but a nice dilemma at that. I've only been through a small proportion of my pics so far , took loads on the Wednesday when it arrived and then there's all those from the other airf...
