Nice set - looks like the changes are working for you. I also made the same lens/converter swap for both quality and weight. Hope you enjoy the new kit.

Great night shots Andy. Also browsed your others on Flickr - very nice.

Thanks James - yes they did especially the 747.

Monday saw a couple of civilian airliners at RAF Lakenheath in support of a deployment Stateside. Despite being on runway 06 (I had hoped for 24 to get ground-taxi shots) I was pleased with the results from the viewing area. Unfortunately the clouds had rolled in for the 747's departure. Boeing 767 ...

Great flashback Pete. Pumas, S-61s and 748s - lovely stuff. Many thanks for posting these.

Looks like an interesting trip - great mix and some changes in weather!

Thanks Mike - not too bad 8 or 9 degrees and the right clothing . It has been colder out and about recently. A good hour or two and some exercise too - unlike the idiots who insist on parking on the verge which is a clearway on the main road.

Living just a few minutes from RAF Lakenheath, and being a fine sunny day, I popped over to get this Omni Air International B.767. Worth the walk from the car park to get this and the afternoon returning based aircraft. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53489391736_4ee205425a_b.jpg N234AX_1 by Nig...

Beautiful Andy! The last time I saw waxwings was several years ago on a lunchtime walk from work in Bury St Edmunds - without a camera! Would love to see some again (suitably equipped).

One of my favourite birds - very striking appearance.

There are some very smart schemes there - lovely mix. Sunshine is certainly at a premium at the moment!

Nice set, Andy

Was the convention anything to do with budgie smugglers?

you beat me to it Mike!

Nice mix as per usual Andy.

Nearest I've got to an aircraft recently were a few trails over Cromer today with the family.

- good old Google translate!

Best wishes to all and many thanks to the Team for keeping things running - the most civil of forums (fora?).

On a personal note, I am very much looking forward to tomorrow being our granddaughter's first Christmas.

Merry Christmas,
Ian

All great Jez but expecially the two tri-jets and the Swissair Jumbo. Have a great Christmas.

Lovely shots of a beautiful lady. Sadly yet to see a Connie fly, but saw this one on the ground at Sion some years ago.

Now I really am feeling my age as I can remember seeing most of those! Another great hark back to olden, golden days.

Now that's my sort of museum. Great mix of all-sorts. Thank you.
