Is the sharp pointy bit at the front being painted at a later date?
Edit: just noted 'Blackjack' had the base grey radome, so I'm guessing is a function of the radar suite.
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

Re: A night at RAF Cosford
Excellent crisp, sharp and detailed images. Great to see my old Sqn GR1 in the finery of its 'Blackhand' markings.

Re: A few low fly shots including F-4
A lovely selection of images and airframes, (but for me, it's another +1 vote for the Phantoms)

Must have been a hectic sortie profile using internal fuel only? Were any external tanks used at all for TTTE?

Re: Upgrade to mirrorless or full frame?
I use both the 5Div and the 90D. Both are excellent cameras; I do however, have separate uses for both, i.e. 5D is studio, landscape, macro etc and the 90D for sports. The EF lens group is superb, including the L series. I have said before, I see the future in mirrorless, but the incessant drive for...

Re: 'Spoons. What does yours tell you?
What a unique and interesting post, and a super invite trigger to visit the local 'spoons to see what they hold. Cornelius Vermuyden was also involved in land drainage in my area, south of the Humber between Goole and Scunthorpe. That clock at Downham Market brings back memories of my RAF Tanker tim...

Re: St. Mawgan International Air Day 1976. Picture heavy.
Superb work and historical captures. I was stationed at St M 2004-06 in that very hangar with the Sea King HAR 3/3a. Despite the start of the demise of the Station, the 3 Air Days there were great fun, but the range of aircraft could never match what you so brilliantly recorded.

Saw it, really enjoyed it. A good storyline, spectacular scenery and a great mix of cgi and originality.

Thanks Gary (for this and your info posted throughout the year)
Weather and timing permitting, I'll try and get a final 2023 visit in.
A well deserved break is due for the staff at Coningsby AD

Re: Pin Mill And Felixstowe
Very nice rendition in the B&W Mark. Away from the aircraft, some scenes often lend themselves to B&W, where shape, lines and tonality produce a different emotion. Liking this a lot.
