Civilian Aviation

Once again its time for the monthly digest of some of the visitors and locals at Dyce, quite a few of us got airside access mid month on a visit organised visit by the airport which was a nice touch in this security sensitive times, one or two shots in this batch were taken from half way up the tower on the balcony just a pity the weather did not play ball any how cheers for looking DD

Thank you if you got this far

Nice selection, DD. Love the night-shots of the Falcons. What sort of time-exposures are you shooting on to get those results?

One other question: do you know if the ground next to the new Gama Aviation hangar has been turned-over prep to construction work on the site? It would be a pity to lose the chance to photograph bizjets and others parked on the cross-runway, but perhaps that's just 'progress'.

very nice as always Donald, some real crackers there. Shame about the weather on your organised visit but hopefully you still enjoyed it
