Re: SPOTM June 2021 - Canadian registered aircraft

Unfortunately I have very few Canadian registered and none are really worth putting up here. But to kick things off, one of my favourite shots. CP Air B747-200 C-FCRB Empress of Canada departing Kai Tak in 1976. After starting from the harbour end and roaring over the rooftops of Kowloon she turned ...

Re: SPOTM February 2021, aircraft of the Iberian peninsula past and present

I'll kick this off. Unfortunately I have very little Iberian area in the archives, my Iberia DC10 is too yellow. So I'll go with this hazy shot of a TAP Boeing 707 taken at LHR in the summer of 1977. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50940283477_caf1555006_z.jpg TAP 707 by Ian Pursey , on Flickr

Re: Northolt Nightshoot XI

Nice shots. When I was based at Northolt they didn't do any of this stuff, in fact I had to get permission to carry a camera at work and get the aircrews permission if I wanted to take a photo of their aircraft. Still, given the people passing through I suppose it was understandable even though ther...

Nice selection, pity I haven't been out and active for years so will probably only manage 6 or 7 entries at best. Shame about December being 2021 photos of biz jets only as mine all date from the 1970s :)

Change of mind. Slightly better quality, but only just, and a bit more exotic. Air Siam DC10 "Thailand's First DC10", Kai Tak 1976/7.
