I made another trip to Old Warden yesterday for their 3rd 'drive in' airshow and once again it was an excellent day out with a few new aircraft that I hadn't seen there before, here's a selection and there are loads more in my flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/125470545@N07/albums/72157715...

that's always a problem when you multi-task, I was doing the same at Old warden and missed a few due to the GP.
That one is nice though so at least you got one good one of it.

If you were where I think you mean it drops away a bit there so the fence is more of a problem.

Andy

I was at Stansted on Sunday afternoon / evening with nick to get photos of an Easyjet A.320 being flown by a captain on his final flight before leaving the company. We spent most of the time on the Novotel mound but I went round to Belmer to get it landing whilst nick got some approach shots, here h...

Laudamotion A320, I left just before the excitement started.

Nice catch with the Turkish, do tell us what the Sunday photo mission entails, Andy!

I'll tell you on Monday!!!!!

Andy

and I shall go back to that mound one weekday evening to catch an MD-11F departing from that spot - should look rather nice!

I made a brief trip over this morning to check out the situation with the Novotel mound to find out if it is overgrown - thankfully not as PorkScratching and I have a photo mission to fulfill on Sunday and the weather suggests they will be on 04. it was very quiet but I managed these departures off ...

Thanks for that link Wallie. It's only Flying Legends that is no longer happening, that is run by the Fighter collection (TFC) rather than IWM Duxford themselves. As it stands the other Duxford shows will continue but you have to wonder if they just don't want airshows there anymore as they take a l...

Thanks for your continued support in the photo competitions and it's nice to see more votes being placed lately. However there could still be a few more as we are still seeing some voters only using one or two of their available 3 votes, whether this is intentional or accidental we don't know but fo...

voting has finished in this competition and we have joint winners selected by our members from 21 excellent entries....
