Re: Aberdeen in January
Hi Retro,I too have been posting as a monthly theme rather than individual posts don't seem to get much feed back as to what people prefer,see you had PH-BGI KLM B.737 she's now in AirLivery hangar at Norwich getting her new coat of paint,but a smashing selection of captures a lot of which we have had visit Norwich recently.regards Kevin.

Re: Aberdeen in January
That would be a shame, I always enjoy looking at them. There's usually some interesting visitors, and they are quality shots (e.g. the C-130 above).retro11 wrote:Here we go again another month another year, i had given thought to stopping this monthly photo digest
Re: Aberdeen in January
Keep it up Donald. I for one look forward to seeing what's been going on up there.

Re: Aberdeen in January
I always enjoy your monthly reviews Donald although I did try it once with Stansted and found adding as the month went on was a bit messy so I reverted to the PAYG (Post as you go) method but when you do it all as one post that is a bit tidier than how I did it. I found mine a bit awkward to follow through when there were photos then comments and then more photos and associated comments.retro11 wrote:Here we go again another month another year, i had given thought to stopping this monthly photo digest which i have done for a couple of years now but in the words of the late Magnus Magnusson " I've Started So I'll Finish" well 2017 anyhow, thanks in advance for looking and we will see what this year brings for EGPD ... good old Dyce
Peter / Kevin - re your comment , you do it the way I tried and as I said I find the comments and photos ongoing less tidy AND it's easy to miss an update (Donald's way with one post at the end of the month is certainly tidier in my view). You also have the added complication that there are usually 3 of you posting from Norwich often with the same aircraft and your updates might be getting missed sometimes (I've done that before now) or maybe not as prominent as a new post.

Re: Aberdeen in January
I hope this year isn't the last you'll be posting, Donald; I always look forward to seeing your shots as they're always of top quality and an interesting and varied selection. You deserve a medal for continuing the postings through the winter; all the more so as the spots for photography around Dyce seem to be decreasing because of construction projects. On that subject: do you know who the new hangar next to The Mound is going to be used by?

Keep up the good work, DD.

Re: Aberdeen in January
Hi Retro,
please keep posting. I enjoy seeing what is happening at other airfields to my norm. You get some interesting visitors.
I am sure that there are others like me - who may not comment on every post, but still appreciate the contributions that others make.
You get some good shots.
Cheers
Pete.

Re: Aberdeen in January
Cheers for the feed back it will be December before we know it LOL, in reply to Mustangs question re the new hangar by the mound @ the Falck nutec carpark is being built for Gama Aviation here are 2 photos of it from Sept and Nov of last year its position COULD have been a lot worse...

Re: Aberdeen in January
Thanks for the info re. the new hangar - so if it's Gama Avn, that will likely mean the SAS helo(s) and Super King Airs will operate from this part of the airfield. Like you say, the position could have been worse; still get a pretty decent view from the mound. Pity about the new fence down the 'back road' blocking port-side approach shots for Rwy 34 - the light always looked good on those shots.
All the best,
M
