the first part of an Essex triple header form yesterday, out with a friend for the day and we did Earls Colne, then Wormingford for some gliding activity and after a spot of lunch we went on to Andrewsfield. I've only edited the Andrewsfield ones so far so I'll do the last first (the wormingford one...

very nice James, I've got a 150-600C but on my Canon 80D and it does produce good results although it isn't quite as good in poor light. I've been very pleased with mine although it is a bit heavy, I bought a blackrapid shoulder strap for mine which makes it far more comfortable on a long day, there...

I'll start things off with this, EC-KJI an MD-87 of Pronair, records show this to have been stored at BCN since 2009 this was the first time I'd seen an MD-87 for a long while! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52087650609_15e76d7cc9_h.jpg EC-KJI MD-87 Pronair Barcelona 13-05-2022 3099. by Andrew ...

I spent 4 days in Barcelona last weekend for my nephew's wedding and managed a few photos as we arrived and had about 2 1/2 hours when we departed, some interesting subjects but the heat haze restricted my photographic range leaving a few gems un-captured including lots of biz jets when we arrived. ...

very nice Claudio, I'm visiting my daughter next week for 6 days so hope to get there at some point. If I am going Ill drop you a message beforehand and maybe we can finally meet up face to face rather than on a phone.

I hear it's very hot at present!

Ciao
Andy

super photo Lee and what a classic aircraft, shame there are so few left now
thanks for posting it
Andy

super set Paul and what a background - even the last one is brilliant and there's no aircraft in sight - but I do believe that might be a military mountain so maybe you should post it on FC

very nice Pete, very impressed with the Airbus / Airbike but there are some exceptional types there. I went to the Elite show a few years ago when it was at Biggin but my credit card limit would hardly have bought lunch! serious money about, it always very interesting to see what is on show thanks f...

I'll start this one off, QuikR G-OTOP taken on a flight over Essex from North Weald back to Rayne in September 2016.

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...
