Aircraft Thread

I do a lot of aircraft transportation so I'm liking this thread. Being in the RAF I should be able to get a few shots :)

Some in-flight photos yes please. :D :D :D :D

Win win at Duxford.

Hanger shot, just for a change. Duxford again.

I think it's a good idea for an aircraft thread.I saw this coming into land at Leeds/Bradford Airport and thought it was something different than the usual jet aircraft.

Nice shot, Geoff. I'm humming the Eastenders theme tune...

B737, A320?

Thanks Phil, it's an Airbus on a beautiful evening with a stunning sunset over London.

Hi Arith, yes it is London. You can see the dome / O2 Arena / Millenium some and the Thames winding its way through. I wasn't queezy at all!

how we got it there

how it looked when we finished. bit like a giant airfix model except real

something i done a few months ago. not as interesting as if it was flying but its a little different

Thought I would add to the fun, although these are not nearly as good as the ones already posted.
My first air show.

More 'exotic' Russian metal - a Tupolev Tu-134 on the approach to Dubai Intl

Great idea for a thread.
I notice a number of shots on here from Duxford so I thought I'd add mine of the car park there (C&C welcome)

Mike,

I am envious.

We took our son to Duxford on his 12th birthday when we were travelling in the UK. He loved it and still remembers the day. It was 1998. There was a fellow there trying to coax his Spitfire into running on all 12 cylinders and another one practicing his aerobatics in a Harvard. They were preparing for a show on the next weekend.
I will find the negatives I took on my little Olympus XA and scan some of them in, but they won't be this good.

Graham.

More Duxford. :D

I was lucky enough to be a guest of the Aircraft Restoration Company & Historic Flying Ltd., had lunch in the hanger and a guided tour around all of the restoration projects before the managing director decided to take the Spitfire up for a demonstration run. It was a great day out.

I really do little Aviation photography, but made this image this morning and thought it might fit in this thread....even if just barely. These 20-30 old tails are burried in a park just behind what was once Sand Point Naval Station on Lake Washington here in Seattle.
