Re: Any US civil registered aircraft, airworthy, grounded or preserved

Go on then, trying to think outside the box here's a retro one from me at sunny Southend in 2013, N662CS in full Orenair scheme having returned to lessor. This frame is still active as PR-SHE in Brazil.

Re: Gatwick 20-05-2025

Lovely bit of colour there - good to see Uganda have finally started the schedule, will have to book in a trip to Gatwick in the late summer I think, plenty of interest there now

Re: The BOAC Thread

As I stands I "only" have these, of the final touchdown of the final BA 747. I'm sure somewhere in a box is a slide of something, perhaps a 747-2, with the BOAC tail logo at the least. I'll have to go crate digging at some point! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50707165201_e8344fb78a_h.jpg Briti...

Heathrow 19/4/25

Afternoon all, Treated myself to a birthday trip to Heathrow recently. A full day on the mounds by T5 with a picnic bought from the M&S in the terminal. Just nice to sit and do nothing for a full day, not many things in life can give you this these days. Been a couple of years since I got to spend a...

Re: Duxford airliners 27-03-2025

Lovely set this.

I've never been to Duxford and didn't realise there was quite that much on the airliner row outside. Agree that the comet looks magnificent.

Will have to earmark a trip in the autumn when the light is less harsh and the heat haze is gone!

New Zealand November 2024

Was allowed a day at Auckland which was ultimately very hot and hazy, the rest are just grabbed through fences and airport windows as and when. Enjoy. Firstly the locals. I enjoyed hunting th...

Re: Stansted 14-12-2024, Planewatch morning

It's not often you seem to get a sunny aerozone day, lovely stuff!

I like the amount of "big biz" Stansted gets, and that 757 is a corker, not one I've seen before - any more info on it?

a few New Zealand museum pieces

Hi all, Managed to persuade the wife to let me visit some of the museums in New Zealand on our trip. Here's a couple for now. Will add to this post as I get through them. Auckland War Memorial Museum. Also has a Spitfire present but I'd never seen a Zeke before so focused on that in an otherwise ver...

New Zealand G.A.

Hi all, A once in a lifetime trip to New Zealand for a month long road trip from top to bottom was incredible. I dropped into as many airports as I could along the way, though this was in now way a spotting trip. This is a selection of some of the general aviation I managed along the way. Nelson htt...

Hi all, A bit of festive down time means some reflection on a year where I spent more time away from the local than I did at it. Nonetheless, here's a small selection of some of the visitors I did get into South Wales this year. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53784499888_946956aa7d_k.jpg G-ZBKR...

Hi all. A trip that was too good for me to resist, the primary purpose was to watch the Welsh football team play away to Armenia. When I say it was another good trip ruined by the football, well, many of you will know what I mean. Armenia not the easiest to access, but several connections via europe...

Like buses, the interesting movements locally have really started kicking up a notch to coincide with some nice autumnal light. On my previous post I mentioned the Bangkok A320 that arrived at Saints and evaded my l...
