I agree with Paul, the shots of sunlit aircraft set against dark clouds really work well.

Fabulous shot of G-BXPI.

Great action shot of the An-26.

Beautiful vivid shots Andy. You can see the dinosaur ancestry really showing through in the Dunnock!

Some wonderful shots there, not least the Worldways DC-8. BHX had some excellent photography spots in the 1980s.

Fantastic frame-filling Electra shot.

Great photos as always Paul. Unlike Andy, the stripey Condors are growing on me!

That's very kind, thanks Nighthawke.

Those shots illustrate well how wet it was at times! The ETF arrival was perfect timing while we waited for the rather excellent food at the Greek Street Cafe.

Great to see you here Craig! Looking forward to seeing more photos, including some of the older ones.

Always a joy to see an A310, especially these days. That one could do with a clean and t-cut though! Nice to see the ice on the lower surface of the wings.

I was with andygolfer of this parish when taking these photos, so I am afraid my shots are very similar to his! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52718645633_ca46da61cd_o.jpg Bombardier Global XRS by Nick Challoner , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52717582032_0595744871_o.jpg Qatar ...

Great shots Andy, aided by the blue sky.

Excellent shots Mike. As well as the lovely light, there are some excellent angles in that selection, such as the KLM 737 which is absolutely perfect.

Excellent shots, with Jordanian retrojet looking fabulous in that light.

That is an excellent spot for photography. I love the shot of the 328JET, which I presume was a London City diversion.

Thanks all for the comments. Yes Paul, I was indeed in the company of andygolfer. He always manages to post his shots before I do!
