Brilliant selection there Dougie, we should have been up there last week, but the holiday was cancelled thanks to covid.

We have booked again for Feb 2021, so hopefully we will get there, and get some cold and sunny days. You have had some fantastic visitors this year, thanks for all your posts.

Always an interesting read and view and top quality pictures from a place a bit further out to most in the UK, thanks for taking the time for posting. Cheers

No need to imagine that amount of quality. It would be just like when RIAT was previously IAT. ;)
Seriously great collection & lovely backdrop for landings & rotations. :thumb: (& the Sun always shines! :whistle: )

Great selection there, Dougie. There has been such a great variety this year, it must have been difficult to choose the ones to leave out. Good idea to pick ones where the sun was shining - there has been the odd day this year when the light was less than ideal...
All the best for 2021. Look forward to seeing more from your collection in the new year.

Nice selection. And yet again, you've made it seem like there's always good weather at PIK - not usually my experience on infrequent visits in recent years
