Nice shots Oz, at least the bum explosion happened before boarding and not during the flight! :o :whistle:
To be honest it was a relief to have got it out of the way before we boarded.

Luton & Lanzarote, 01-08 March 2020

Just a few opportune shots taken whilst on a family holiday.

Re: SPOTM January 2020 - ANY airliner photographed in 2019 which has not been placed in a photo competition

I think the only airliners I photographed last year were the Dakotas at the Shuttleworth Flying Festival on 2nd June, so here's N103NA "Flabob Express" tail up as it departs as the first of seven Dakotas in the stream take off.

Re: SPOTM December 2019 - Winter Wonderland, a civilian aircraft with snow or/and Ice

I'll go with one from Luton too. G-EZBV on 11th February 2012. I seem to remember the temperature being -8°C on this morning. People all over Facebook were moaning about the cold and staying in and I put on my snowboarding gear and went to photograph aeroplanes! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/4...

Re: SPOTM October 2019 - British holiday airlines of the past

Managed to dig out something to replace the Monarch, as I've posted that on here before. G-TCBB Boeing 757-236 at Grenoble on 10th March 2012, waiting to take me home from snowboarding at Les Deux Alpes.

Re: October 2019 photo of the month competition

I'll go with G-DRAM at Shuttleworth Race Day on 6th October for now. Might change it if and when I finish editing my photos from the day. Doubt I'll be photographing much else this month.[

Shuttleworth Race Day, 06/10/19

The weather was far from ideal, but thankfully the rain stopped early in the morning. The wind gradually increased through the day and put paid to several of the scheduled display items. However, as usual, Shuttleworth still managed to put on a good show. Some non-display aircraft arriving to start ...

Snowdon Squirrel, 14/05/18

I walked up Snowdon last year and have only just got round to editing the photos. We went up via the Rhyd Ddu path, and close to the beginning of the walk we found this helicopter. It was up and down all day with underslung loads of slate. G-HITI 2016 Airbus Helicopters AS350B3 Ecureuil https://live...

Re: Agusta 206 @ Scone

Nice shot although I'm not sure of the colour scheme, I think it looks a bit dated. Martin I think it's right that it has a dated colour scheme as it's a Jet Ranger. They've been around for years. I remember when I was a kid every helicopter you'd see was a Jet Ranger. They seem pretty rare nowaday...

They'd actually got a mile or two further than Cardington, but must've passed to a bit to the north of it.

Balloon in Bedford, 14/09/19

Sometimes you don't have to go looking for aircraft, they come to you! I was sitting in the living room on a Saturday morning when my daughter said "I can see a hot air balloon". Expecting to see it floating somewhere in the distance I looked out and was rather taken aback that it almost filled up t...

Comet and Cub at Old Warden, 25/08/19

Had to go for a drive on Sunday to get the baby to sleep, so what better destination. Wasn't particularly busy, but I got there just in time to see Dodge Bailey bringing the Comet back from displaying at Little Gransden and giving us a couple of nice flypasts before landing. Quite a lot of heat haze...
