Hi roger4 G-REGO is the correct registration but its not official registered yet! Perhaps more accurately its not on G-INFO but G-REGO is the correct registration according to the G-DASH - UK Balloon Register and it has pretty good coverage, the next ABN should have confirmation. Edit its now on G-I...

Hi Roger4 We had a lightning strike nearby last night (Sunday) just before 7 pm which knocked out the Internet for the local area, we live near a hospital but no reports of damage there thankfully. The Internet connection was repaired late this afternoon (about 3.30 pm) hence my late response, sorry...

This is the third time I have been to the Festival and as ...

Firm favorites in my family Mike, as I grew up the films used to be on during the holidays, particularly Christmas.

I've used the Marxist joke above on Politics students it always shocks me that they don't know who the Marx Brothers were

Thanks for that Mike, Groucho now duly attached.

I always like to say to people I'm a Marxist...
They usually look a bit confused until I add
Yes Groucho was my favourite with Harpo a close second but I don't remember Karl, which movie was he in

Hello from your Birmingham Correspondent :D A few pictures from my usual photographic location at Birmingham the NCP carpark on the Elmdon side which may soon be a location you have to pay for :( (NCP have recently been testing the payment meters/display). I'm looking for a picture of Groucho Marks ...

Wonderful selection of images Jon, it looks like a great spot to take pictures from. Its been a long time since I went to Brussels Airport never mind the Museum these pictures make me want to book a trip

Thanks acw367. Yes, conditions were great at Kemble (unlike my last visit in February) and you can always get some great angles on the various aircraft around the airfield. I meant to ask when were you there? I arrived around 2.45 pm parking by the BAW 747 before going to the parking bay of the A429...

Hi again The last catch-up selection is from my trip down to Kemble via the Fosse Way stopping at Wellesbourne, Brize Norton, Kemble and Kidlington on the way back. Bahrain Royal Flight Gulfstream G650 A9C-BAH parked at Brize Norton shame about the heat haze. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5291...

A really evocative selection of the British Midland fleet over the ages Jez

Hi again The second catch-up post the third and last will be about my road trip to Kemble on Saturday the 20th of May. The combination of roadworks on the M6 and M42 combined with indifferent weather has kept me away from Birmingham recently. Here are a few I have taken so far this May, I hope you l...

Lovely selection Professor M

Hi again It's time for me to catch up A quick visit to East Midlands Airport on the 2nd of May for a few pictures of the aircraft around the maintenance area.

Hi devom Yes I was surprised by their arrival and I have individual pictures of each as they taxied past my view point but as this is a civil forum I decided to go with the picture of all three together instead. The Robinson R-66 G-HKCC came in after them I joked to the people near me who's on that ...

Hi All I quick evening visit for the Air India 787 VT-ANU in Star Alliance colours only to find that the top floor of the NCP carpark is now closed to everyone. :( The surprise :o of the visit was three (3) Army Air Corps Dauphins and that's all I'm going to say about them. https://live.staticflickr...

Hi Again A very windy late afternoon at Birmingham so bad it was a no hat day! The very strong crosswind made for some interesting landings and take off's and for the first time I was asked to vacate the top level at the NCP Multi-storey carpark by one of their workers. :o One amusing item I forgot ...
