I used to go to the PFA rallys. Popped over on the Friday thinking I'd have coffee and some cake in the Pilots Mess café - a public area - only to find it was closed off. They wanted £12 for a 3 day pass when I only wanted to go for a coffee. That sort of money is beyond me on my pension, the coffee...

I'll kick this month off with a rather grainy shot taken at LHR in 1977. Strangely enough with all my airliner photos hardly any of them are 'dirty' !

A few photos from way back when, well the better ones at least. Concorde demonstrator F-BTSC at Kai Tak. Hope you find them of some interest. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48324465777_3ceb6eb3e1_z.jpg Concorde Kai Tak by Ian Pursey , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48324360561_00...

Nice selection, the Caravelle is my favourite. The Ethiopian is clearly ex- Singapore Airlines.

I chose this as it's the cleanest photo I have, my shot of Super Frelons at Kai Tak is a bit meh and my TAT HS748 at LHR are a bit common as is a pile of other stuff. So, Concorde demonstrator F-BTSC at Kai Tak (RAF side) early morning in 1976. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48433251132_4b6db45...

I'll kick this month off. At first I thought Tristars or L100 then remembered this. Breitling Super Connie at Farnborough 20 July 2014.

The only one I've got so I'll throw it in to make up the numbers.

I agree with what has been said about clogging up with repeated 'great pic' etc type comments. Also the like button has merit to a point. C&C - well and good but as has been pointed out not everybody can afford the best kit or the time to wait for that 'perfect' shot. Personally I rarely take photos...

and vol 2, all at Kai Tak 1976-7. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7829/32163805517_09e5959433_b.jpg Air France 747 by Ian Pursey , on Flickr https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7891/33230518258_6f11ae832f_b.jpg BA 747 by Ian Pursey , on Flickr https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7865/32163826067_d0a44a223a_k.j...

Great selection of photos Mark. I thought I'd done a thread in the 'Themed' section but on checking I obviously had not. So, vol 1 from me: Wardair at GTW the rest from LHR, all 1977-8. Apologies for the poor quality. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7914/46191721905_2da449e3dd_b.jpg Wardair 747 by Ia...

Decisions, decisons. So many photos of 747s to choose from. But in the end I'll go with this one, just because I like the shot even though it is distant. I think the colours are nice too. :D It was this or a Seaboard World Containership about to touch down at Heathrow. CP Air departing Kai Tak after...

OK, I'll kick this off with - NO not a Wessex! - but a shot of a Cathay Pacific B707 heading to the terminal after landing over the roof tops into Kai Tak (1976). Photo taken from the left hand seat of, yes a Wessex :roll: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1916/30844869547_b945e11330_z.jpg 28 33 by Ian...

Just to keep the number of entries up and start the ball rolling. A rather distant shot of Lufthansa DC10 just landed at Kai Tak after the famous roof top approach. View from my window, Hong Kong island in the background. (it was either this or a Boeing 707 at a wet Kai Tak) https://farm2.staticflic...

So the photo can be taken from a military aircraft looking at a civilian one? yes that's correct. But if it's just the interior of a military aircraft that will not be acceptable. andy Thanks, I've got an interesting, but not vote-worthy, shot to make up the numbers so that's November taken care of...

I'll start this off with a line up of Dan Air Comets at Gatwick 1977/8

Good picture - unfortunately never to be seen again at LHR. As well as blue and green, what other colours did TAT display on their F27's?

Not sure about the F27s but I've got a photo of one of their HS748 in an orange/red scheme.

Nice picture. I liked seeing those TAT with different colours for each aircraft. Same as the old Court Line.
cheers
Pete.

Here's a green one at LHR 1977/8

Golden oldie (excuse the pun), Libyan Arab Airlines Boeing 727 at LHR 1977/8, neg has suffered over the years but it boosts the entries by one so... ..excuse the pointy white aircraft in the background https://farm1.staticflickr.com/863/28000977608_eb3a78b83e_z.jpg Libyan 727 by Ian Pursey , on Flickr
