SPOTM 2024 Calendar of topics
Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2023 8:18 am
Now that 2023's calendar is completed, here are the subjects for 2024. I hope there are a good range of subjects to suit everybody
January: any civil aircraft photographed in 2023 which has not been placed in a photo comp so not in Hall of fame
February: F is for February and for Fokker so Fokker airliners including licence built models
March: On 17 March 2004, LOT operated the first commercial flight of an Embraer E-Jet airliner so lets celebrate the 20th anniversary with any Embraer commercial airliner (i.e. in a commercial airline scheme),
April: fixed wing microlights or homebuilts
May: Any airliner with a special scheme which includes a number in the scheme - such as 100th anniversary schemes.
June: June 6th 2024 is the 80th anniversary of D-Day so for June any civilian registered warbird with invasion stripes?
July: the Paris Olympics start in July in 2024, so any wholly French built civilian aircraft (not jointly built so Airbusses are not eligible)
August: I for Italy, any Italian registered civilian aircraft
September: Any Handley Page designed civilian aircraft
October: Any Scandinavian registered aircraft, LN, OH, OY or SE
November: A biz Jet photographed in 2024 but not a photo that has already been placed in one of our photo competitions (i.e. not in the Hall of Fame)
December: an aircraft with at least two of the four letters X,M,A & S anywhere in the registration, so it could be in the prefix e.g. XA- or in the remainder such as G- AXNS so that's three of the four letters (come on Mike what sort of aircraft is G-AXNS?) - I'll give a bonus point if you can enter one with all 4 letters in the registration e.g. Argosy G-ASXM!
I hope to see plenty of entries, thanks for your support
