Re: SPOTM August 2023 - permanently closed airfields
My entry is a Trident 2E, 5B-DAB, of Cyprus Airways taken at Nicosia Airport. This aircraft was damaged during the Turkish invasion in July 1974, and was still there when I took the photo in April 2008. https://live.staticflickr.com/490/31459007374_a089bdc67f_b.jpg by Alan Paterson , on Flickr

Caught this little beauty hiding in a corner beside the Spitfire Grill at Victoria Airport, BC, before visiting the BC Aviation Museum earlier this month.

Re: SPOTM December 2022 - the Bell 206 and it's derivatives
This is only photo I have of a Bell 206, just before it flew us over the Grand Canyon in November 2011. Only the second helicopter I’ve flown on, the other being a Chinook in the early 1990s down in the Falkland Island; never been on one since unfortunately. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52573...

An-225 OTT Elgin - 31 Jul 20
Nice surprise to read that the Antonov was going to be transiting over Elgin this morning. Even better that the sky played ball too. 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50172712568_f302e4dba8_b.jpg by Alan Paterson , on Flickr 2. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50173256436_47b02e046d_b.jpg by...

I was out walking the dog at Torrieston Walks, a few miles west of Elgin this afternoon and heard an unfamiliar sound overhead. Unfamiliar as I’m used to Typhoons flying round the area. On looking up I caught this on its way to Inverness. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49498797402_c8931a28bd_b....
