Wow, cracking set, you have covered a few miles and quite a few frames, excellent.
Merry Christmas.
Cheers
Pune

What a fantastic set! So much variety (and some old timers like myself say that spotting is pretty dull these days!) The great British weather hasn't been the best though has it judging by a lot of the photos Thanks for sharing and a Happy Christmas

Very nice and complete selection ! Thanks !

Echo the previous comments by binbrook87 , amazing selection from the far flung corners of the Country, often in less than ideal weather & light! A great review in any case & on reflection probably best avoid Waddington & Keevil!

the hangar shot with the purple sky is cracking

From the opening shot I thought things couldn't get any better. How wrong I was! You've covered just about every exotic aircraft to visit our shores this year! The night shots are something different and the "group" images are rarely to be repeated. Well done and thank you for making me very envious (and sad) for missing so many great and varied aircraft yet again. Here's hoping that 2024 brings you lots of opportunities for you to excite us again. All the Best.

Great set!
Superb variety of aircraft, weather and light conditions and UK airfield.

Would I be right in thinking that at least 1 or 2 of the Pilatus U-28As plus the Herc with the CA tail code were taken at Edinburgh? Remember seeing a couple of U-28s & a Herc with CA around Easter Time along with a couple of Flying Jennies C-130Js.
