thanks Denis, we are being rather spoilt of late.

I've sent you an e-mail with that info BTW

very nice set, thanks for sharing them
Andy

superb selection and agree that the convoy photos are impressive.

I love the engine with the crane on the front, especially with it's appropriately named owner!

thanks for posting them, i've not been to anything like that for many years so you've whetted my appetite

The Silway IL.76 finally got here just after 10am after several delays. Up with the owls to check FR24 this morning and the light improved a lot in time for it's arrival where I met wiggy (Denis) so I was able to put another face to a name (nice to meet you Denis) anyway here are some pics of a supe...

Here's mine, or my change of entry, decided to go with this rather energetic shot of Mark Jefferies taking off (yes honestly) at Little Gransden yesterday in stead of my original. If you've never seen his take off try to get to one of his shows - it's absolutely amazing (I've added a you tube video ...

thanks for the comments guys, I was pleased with the 747 head on but I do like the Sandals scheme on the Gulfstream as well, one day we will be there when it's sunny

Here's mine for now, haven't really had time to search much so may find something else before the deadline. A Beagle Pup, G-AXNS taking off at Old Warden on 7th July this year leaving a dust cloud in it's wake! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4155/34559146825_77bce2947c_o.jpg G-AXNS Beagle Pup Old Wa...

Just over a week to one of my annual favourites!

hoping for good weather this year!

that's amazing thanks. I doubt we could raise 1/10th of that number now. could almost row past our navy for an inspection these days.

as you say Bob, a sad day. Maybe they will re-build it with a bigger better one and get more aircraft to service / paint.

fingers crossed for the company and the employees

I've been scanning more of my late fathers slides over the last week or three and found these he took of the Royal Navy ships gathered for the Queen's royal review of the royal navy in June 1977, all part of the celebrations. A bit appropriate to be posting these today as her namesake the new aircra...

was an enjoyable morning apart from that few minutes of cloud in the wrong place

hope you get some good shots today

the second Turkmenistan IL.76 of the current series of flights arrived at Stansted this morning and this time I wasn't double booked. unfortunately the sun was also double booked and went elsewhere just before it arrived. As a result my pics are nowhere near as good as those posted last week but I'v...

To all persons visiting Stansted northside, this afternoon I had a conversation with a spokesman from Universal Aviation regarding the historic as well as the most recent incursions onto their land. The first point he made is that they have no problem with plane spotters who behave properly, obey th...

there is a post on the Stansted yahoo group this evening confirming that the Il.76 flight tomorrow (Tuesday) is scheduled for an 09.30 BST arrival.

It's due to be EZ-F426 again

it was in the hangar with a cover on the cockpit - not photographable I'm afraid

here are a few pics from the annual fly in at Rayne Hall Farm, Essex - my very local strip (1/2 mile from home), all in aid of the Essex Air Ambulance. Better weather than last year resulted in about a dozen visitors. A good hog roast as usual and I donated a canvas of one of my Old Warden pics whic...

thanks for all your comments and also the suggestions (Pete). I will stick with the original idea of 4 legs as there are quite a good selection of aircraft AND will exclude the moths series as per the suggestions, The topic is now re-opened for entries so start going through those pics thanks again ...

super set, I've never been so another one for the list.

thanks for posting them and look forward to an entry in the Oct SPOTM - your hardest job is deciding which one!

nice pics Keith but why did they spoil it? the old scheme was so much better

thanks for posting it
Andy
