nice photos Mark but what on earth were they thinking about when the painted that - looks like a giant stick of rock :o Has to be the most vile colour scheme I've ever seen. Imagine boarding that after a final night of a holiday on the p*ss - instant throw up on the air stairs. To say I prefer their...

Sunday saw the start of another airshow season at Old Warden, unfortunately a dull day sandwiched between sunny days on the Saturday and Monday. It was still enjoyable and I spent far more time watching aircraft with the naked eye rather than through a camera lens than I normally do. I still got a g...

The best I can offer this month is this Falcon 7X N814TP departing Stansted on 16th April during the Planewatch morning.... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52009056955_59872cfad...

I'm off to Headcorn in June for the airshow, really looking forward to it as it's an excellent venue for photography.
