Decisions, decisions. So many in the archive. So I'll go with this - for now anyway. Tradewinds CL44 at Kai Tak in 1976, and a bonus blue and white is the Pan Am 747 in the background.

one from me from a night time walk in October 2020, this Volga DneprIL.76 was parked along the fence line on the north side of Stansted and having got some daytime shots I thought I would try something a bit more challenging so I went for a trek along the Ash walk to the fence and set myself up waiting for sunset and darkness. After an hour or so of photos this was my favourite, it needed a bit more thought and experimentation that a professionally set-up nightshoot and the result was more satisfyling!
