Re: N373AL Far Eastern Air Transport !

Yes I assume this airline colour scheme isn't seen in the UK very often ?? Certainly not! They're a Taiwanese regional operator, until recently with a few MD-80s and 757s. Apparently they're taking delivery of some 737-800s this year of which this is presumably one. They were due this B738 but it's...

Taking a Dump

Morning all, Whilst sitting at home yesterday I noticed a weird looking trail coming towards me so I shot outside with my camera and found this KLM B747 dumping fuel. It had just left Amsterdam and had an engine issue so dumped over Norfolk and returned to Amsterdam.. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/...

Re: Newquay 17-18/4/16

Nice Selection Phil. The Netjets Hawker 800 looks strange having it's registration on the engine now instead of the tail.

Northrepps by Night

Morning all, Last week I noticed a Vans RV in my local strip and after a quick message to the airfield owner I nipped across after dark to test out a night shot. I don't have a tripod so I hand held this low to the ground. I'm quite happy with the results. The only light used was the car head lights...

Re: Spot The Dot

Mike, I am amazed at just how sharp the images are. How do you keep the telescope steady as I assume it does not sit on a tripod. I find the concept of photographing aircraft at altitude fascinating.
