Re: US Aerobatic Team 1986

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...

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.

Emergency Medical Services 'Air Ambulance'

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.

Pixsy & Image Theft

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...

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.

Certainly a good variety of types and colour schemes.

The Shaw 180 is a new type to me.

Re: Shuttleworth Vintage Airshow

Very nice. It looks like you can get really close to the action. It seemed to me as though the display line is a close or better than you will have seen at other Uk display venues back in the 80's and 90's, plus it's a curved display line. It really is a pleasure to see aircraft properly displayed ...

That's an interesting log Bob with quite a few Chinese airlines and the inevitable Russians. Larnaca airport certainly seems to have developed from when I was last there in the '80's and early '90s. In those days it was a bolt hole and safe haven for many Middle East airlines that couldn't use Beiru...

Re: British Airways fleet departures 2013 onwards

Thanks to the info from Camb10, we can update the thread with the withdrawal of two further A319s. G-EOUH which was one of the Olympic Dove aircraft, albeit repainted in to Chatham livery at some point. Relocated to St Athan on 5th September. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48695097477_c90aaba98...
