Bruntingthorpe - 23 March 2024

Following on from my recent Lightnings post, here are some images of the rest of the aircraft in the compound at Bruntingthorpe. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53607624086_eaa14ff18a_b.jpg 20240323_090535 by Stephen Procter , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53606754262_2ab7cfe789_...

Lucky indeed. There was about a one minute window for both Martin and myself being at the gate at the same time. Otherwise I would have just had my snaps through the wire. Just meant to be... :)

Lightning Preservation Group, Bruntingthorpe - 23 March 2024

Last weekend saw me down in Leicstershire and finding myself only 15 minutes from Bruntingthorpe thought I would swing by for a look. The Cold War Jets compound was locked up but found I could manage a few snaps through the mesh. Whilst doing this a car pulled up and a chap got out and started to un...

Re: What a Load of Bull - Flying Bulls @ Legends

I can understand 'no jets' but the Me262 is of the era that Legends celebrates. Have they not had a Sabre before?

Yes, we were up there Mick. The young lady you spoke to was up there a few times on the Thursday with the cameraman. Very lucky to be able to have such a good vantage point.

They were brilliant. Love to see them back. Nice shout on the Fokker. There's a certain Me262 we wouldn't say no to either....

Flying Legends, Church Fenton - 15 July 2023

Despite the weather it was a great day at Church Fenton for Flying Legends. Passing thundery showers enforced breaks in the programme but most flying was able to take place with the notable exception of the closing 'Balbo'. A few shots from the day. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53048521529_43...

Flying Legends practice day - 13 July 2023

As yesterday was a 'non work' day and the weather not looking too bad I popped across to Leeds East Airport (Church Fenton in old money...) to see some of the show arrivals and practices. The light and cloud were a bit tricky at times but here are a few from my visit. I left mid afternoon so missed ...

An hour at RAF Coningsby - 22 June 2023

Had cause to be down in Lincolnshire yesterday and with an hour or so to kill mid afternoon I took myself across to Coningsby. Very hot and a combination of shooting through the link fence and heat haze didn't make for great photography. However, here are a few that turned out OK (ish...) :) https:/...

Re: RAF Cosford Airshow 2023

Morning all,

Just picking my way through some photos and scribbled notes from Sunday. Is there a full log available anywhere of the participants at the show?

Many thanks

Re: Flying Legends 2023 - 15-16 July - Chuch Fenton/Leeds East

As Dave mentioned the available dates in the Leeds East calendar have dictated when the show will happen this year. Unfortunate for some people I appreciate, but I believe FL and RIAT have been on the same dates previously. When it comes to the 2024 calendar I'm sure that the dates of the two events...

Re: Flying Legends 2023 - 15-16 July - Chuch Fenton/Leeds East

Spot on Dave. We also need to allow for a sizeable attendance from people both locally and beyond who are not aviation enthusiasts per se but like to see an airshow with their families. The 2015 show at Leeds East had a lot of people who were there for 'a day out' and really enjoyed it. The north ha...

Lanzarote - March 2023

Just back from an enjoyable 2 weeks holiday. Spent a fair bit of time snapping from our oceanfront bungalow in Matagorda. A few military aircraft seen on approach.

RAF Cosford Airshow - 12 June 2022

Nice to be back at Cosford after 3 years. The weather stayed dry but with variable cloud, wind and temperatures throughout the day it made things 'challenging' at times. Just a few photos of the fast jet performers... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52144584950_9bb22dd4dc_b.jpg DSC_5379 by Steph...

Blade 5 over Leeds

Seen over Leeds a short time ago 'Blade 5' out of Prestwick. Anyone know what this was?

Thanks
