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

**glenng** · 10th October 2012, 03:06 PM

Some in-flight photos yes please.

**Clactonian** · 10th October 2012, 05:04 PM

Win win at Duxford.

**Clactonian** · 10th October 2012, 05:08 PM

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.

An An-24 about to be loaded at the equally glamourous Kabul International Airport

**dubaiphil** · 11th October 2012, 04:04 AM

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)

and in the sky...

**grounded** · 11th October 2012, 06:54 AM

You are lucky to have blue skies, how about this one.

**Clactonian** · 11th October 2012, 08:22 AM

The Spit is all yours .... and aerobatics are allowed!!

**jdathebowler** · 11th October 2012, 09:02 AM

I thought a helicopter would be nice.Here's a shot of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Mike,

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.

More Duxford.

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.
