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.

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...

The Rwy26 Google group (covering Devon and Cornwall) maintain a comprehensive list of all resident aircraft in the two Counties. The most recent update does not contain anything resembling the registration G-OJNR at Bodmin but I'll keep an eye open if it pops up as a new resident/registration.

That's a very smart looking Dash 8, nicely caught.

Great to see that selection and in terms of competition aerobatics it's interesting to see that 33 years later Pitts and Extras still dominate the scene (albeit with 270-330HP engines these days). Bumped in to Kermit Weeks at his Oshkosh Hangar back in '97, nice chap and showed us around his airfram...

They're exceedingly good pictures given the overcast conditions, thanks for posting.

One wing tip on my waggon !

I wonder how frequently that occurs and what the trim implications are.

With a brief break in the wet weather of the past week or so I went up to Lulsgate to photograph the usual trade plus being hopeful of a Thomas Cook repatriation flight. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48841289378_b7b81397d5_o.jpg Ryanair Boeing 737-8AS EI-ENN by Neil D.

With CA forum members from across the British Isles and Europe it's likely that our 'local patch' is covered by one of the many Air Ambulance organisations. It would be grerat to see the variety and geographic coverage the CA forum has. I'll start things off with my local area, Dorset & Somerset whe...

Great pictures and very vibrant in those skies.

I wonder how long it would take my wife to rumble me if I were to book a week at

bunglaow number 202 of the Las Gaviotas complex in Matagorda

Thanks for posting

As aviation and particularly photography is a hobby, as opposed to a source of income, I've not been too fussed with placing watermarks on my images to deter their inappropriate use. That said, all my images have embedded copyright information attached. Earlier this year Flickr announced a partnersh...

That's a great catch and what a superb vantage point.

Last weekend I attended the Threshold.Aero photoshoot at Newquay Airport and we were spoiled with amazing weather, it could have so easily been sea mist rolling in as oposed to azure blue skies. In between photographing Cold War jets and transports I did manage to fire off a few shots of departing a...

I've voted for Negus but that's a great set of pictures all round and you've done well to see them all in a day. I must get myself up to Heathrow in the autumn light to photograph a few.

Great pics.

Neil

Top quality post, that looks like a great location at Manchester.
