Alpha Delta 210

Hi

 

I was exploring my mine of digital images looking for a picture of a specific aeroplane for a friend when I realised that since I took up digital photography in 2002, some significant types and airframes are no longer flying (temporarily or otherwise in the UK at least). I decided to trawl through the images and share some of my favourites. I apologise in advance for the quality of some of the oldest images as my equipment and skills are not what they are now...

 

I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I have!

You have some wonderful shots there! Difficult to pick a favourite as they are all special in their own way. Number three really could have been taken during the war. 

 

If I had to make choices then it would be the Harriers.

 

Looking forward to the next batch!

A beautiful collection. :clap:Thanks for sharing these. Some real stunners and memories in there. The head-on photo of the blue Sea Harrier FA2 in the first collection is particularly atmospheric, and I've had two glasses of wine so I'd better stop before I get to the Tornados.:heart: :lol:

Great shots as ever and some excellent memories to boot.  Hard to pick a favorite but the SHARs are particularly nice as of course are the VC10s1

 

Cheers

Ah - a rookie mistake! The photo clearly shows blue chocks and, as everyone knows, these didn't come in until 1946.
