A small selection of images showing some of the visitors to MAN for the now defunct Air Livery hangar for repaint. A real shame that we lost it as it brought some quite exotic visitors!

Venus and Jupiter this evening. Unfortunately I can’t fit Mars in as well and Saturn and Mercury are below the horizon before it gets dark enough

Fairford and RIAT 2003, a rare appearance of a Latvian AF Mi-8MTV-1 from 1 Aviation Squadron (Helicopter Flight). The following year I took my first steps into the digital world and said cheerio to K64.

Back when movements were an unknown. After being carparked by one on my first ever loop visit in 2003, I had given up hope of catching a Ripple Jag at LL with retirement looming. Then this appeared through Cad, a week or so, prior to her final flight, in Nov 2005. #aviation #avgeek #machloop #jaguar

An unorthodox view of ‘Monarch’, pausing at St Erth with a Plymouth to Penzance stopping service in July 1987. This was the last year that I visited Cornwall with Hoovers still dominating services down there.

One for #PhantomFriday before the pub lunch. Sunset was fast approaching and I had visualised the shot. Eyes closed at the right time and fingers crossed whilst panning with this JASDF/501 Hikotai RF-4E at Hyakuri Air Base (RJAH) Japan, January 2019. Thankfully I fluked a keeper!

'Renegade 2' seen here lifting off from the FARP at Netheravon during Pashtun Jaguar workup exercise at Netheravon on the SPTA, back in July 2010. Those exercises were amazing for photo ops. #aviation #avgeek #seakingsaturday #helicopter #royalnavy
