That's a great set of images with some decent variety of subject matter.

Top quality Andy. You can't beat the light this time of year, when the sun actually shines of course.

Just a brief update on this thread. It took about 2 months for Pixsy to review the case internally and accept that it met their criteria (no doudt an element of 'is it worth their while'). With that established we entered in to a contract allowing them to act on my behalf and that's where it's got t...

I echo Bob's sentiments with well done to all and thanks to Mike, Andy, Paul and Martin for making this site happen as it is appreciated.

Onwards and skywards.....

Here's my seasonal contribution, a Ryanair B737-800 landing at an extremely cold and snow covered Bristol-Lulsgate back in 2013. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49198387162_d2b6ab1680_h.jpg Ryanair Boeing 737-8AS EI-EFV by Neil D.

Can't disagree with that, would be my best catch too!

A lovely aircraft and a nice photo of it.

That's great to see some gliders on the forum, nice pictures.

Neil

Some very nice bankers there Andy.

Neil

That's very special and beautifully captured.

Thanks Andy for the info on the imminent withdrawal of more of the short haul fleet. In other news, a few recent articles on the IAG short and long haul fleet renewal. Short haul renewal:- It's reported that IAG are still looking for 225 short haul aircraft but like many airlines, given the many iss...

That's very nice indeed, thanks for posting.

I believe that there will be a number of fleet withdrawals during the next couple of months and today A319 G-EUOI positioned to St Athan for scrapping.

Most evenings I check out the excellent SWAG Blog http://www.southwalesaviationgroup.co.uk/ for happenings across the Bristol Channel at Cardiff & St Athan. Today it appears that St Athan has been very busy, as follows: 9:07 Easyjet A319 9:49 Gulf Air A330 12:03 Air Mauritius A340 (14 minute flight ...

It's great to see a selection of colour schemes from further afield and Changi Beach looks to be a superb location for photos.

Neil

Excellent shots as always Paul. Great that you were able to catch the Cubana IL-96, I can't recall the last time I photographed any domestic Ruskie types.

Neil

Wow, that's a bright scheme and very well captured.

Neil

They're all great and it looks as though you were very fortunate with good weather.

Super set of pictures.

The annual balloon meet at Longleat (Wiltshire) is now the largest annual balloon event in Europe, in terms of balloon numbers. Being a local aviation event to me it's a pleasure to find interesting locations to photograph from, depending on whetrher it's a morning or evening lift and obviously wind...
