Drew you seem to be nailing the static shots with the short lens on

I like the shot of the ambulance service islander it looks very nice

[DrewN0810]

Havent been able to get out and practice with the 55-300mm this weekend so far.

Some lovely examples of English Aviation heritage

It is nice to see a Concorde that is well protected from the weather. Nice photos.

Sorry this is a little Military but:-

I can't see why they can't have a Nimrod at East Fortune and place it next to the Comet to show the Lineage of both Aircraft.

Some lovely examples of English Aviation heritage

Both aircraft in the first shot were built at Prestwick.

and the hard bit, the design, was done in England

Disgrace that the 707 was cut up. Nice pics.

[richellis]

Id do agree, The 707 looks good would would be better complete, although I did chat to some of the chaps who did the dirty deed at Cosford and they where saying it wasnt in good condition at all.

A tribute to the restorers then and at least we have some of it to cherish rather than nothing at all!!

Hi Guys n Gals,

the last time I visited East Fortune was on the 10th September 2006 and I thought I'd add four of my images of the day, taken with my old, trusty Canon G2.

Starting with this beauty escaping and being loaded up for a journey to Germany.



Next we have a gorgeous Beech.



Then how's this for a classic design?



Finally you have to have a Moth on display , helped by the light cascading from the roof lights.



Next time I'll take some wide angle kit with me and a tripod!

Fabulous place to visit, which had use bathed in sunlight, sitting out on the grass, eating ice cream!

Thanks for posting Reggie!

Unfortunately the day we were there it was very windy, and quite wet so no picnic!

My wife and my oldest son both suggested going back in the summer and a picnic on the grass is a good shout, with the added bonus of being able to watch the aircraft approaching Edinburgh!!

Hi guys,

For those who dont know, a Nimrod will be on display, Forward fuselage, in the hangar beside the Comet.

Outside of fuselage only i believe until the interior has work carried out.

Regards.

The Nimrod will look far better when the lower nose section - i.e the chin - is fitted back on. Any idea when it will all be finished?

[DrewN0810]

I dont know Unknown, same as everything, its determined by time and funds really.

Hopefully soon.
