Headed down to Montrose for half an hour at the local fly in. Two hours and several hundred pictures later, I called it a day. It was by far the most fun I've had shooting aviation in a long time with none of the usual setbacks like crowds, display lines etc. Here's a few highlights from the day. As...

These look much better than the ones you posted on Facebook, stunning! :clap: :thumb: Thanks. Yes Facebook doesn't do pictures much justice as they compress them quite a bit I believe. they are really nice Callum, my favourites are the 2nd (with that background it looks stunning) and the 5th - the ...

Mike, you're right. Should be 15:45 onwards.

Thanks for the comments folks. Had a look at the exif and these were taken from 16:45 onwards so it was getting pretty dark.

Was very lucky in catching this beauty arriving at the Fort William HLS on Saturday night. To say I was surprised when this rumbled overhead instead of a Coast Guard machine or Helimed is an understatement as it's primarily for offshore work. Sadly I couldn't wait for the departure as my better half...

Looked in to catch the South African Globex after seeing their helicopters landing in Brechin. Good to see the jet in a colourful scheme to match the helis. It was good to catch the now re-branded Dundee Dornier G-BMYK and a German registered Aquilla A.211 which is a new type for me. https://farm1.s...

Spent a few hours at a freezing Aberdeen today in order to catch the visiting Icelandic Dash 8. Thankfully it arrived earlier than planned though I had to leave before it did. As always there was plenty offshore traffic coming and going which kept me busy as well as the usual fixed wing aircraft. Fi...

Thanks. The first and last were taken at 1/125 and the middle at 1/250

Ended up at Dundee for a while today as Leuchars was rather quiet. Managed to time it with the departure of the Dundee liveried Dornier to Stansted. Heat haze was a bit of a pain but thought I'd share my shots anyway. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3899/14549004568_e39e0f2591_b.jpg G-BYMK by Calum L...

Like everyone else has done I can't thank Mike and Steve enough for arranging last night. Despite it being freezing cold and windy I had a great time!
