Yeah, plenty more to add as well 👍🏻

I think I’d rather walk 😁😂

Nothing exotic in the end. It looked like we might get a very nice China Eastern 777, but I believe it went to CDG in the end. MAN just doesn’t have the space to take much these days.

Ex Stratford, now Tinsley, 47116, seen at Warrington Arpley late 80s….

NAS Oceana is always a great place for moisture!

This one was a particularly poor runner. I did it four times in a week in the spring of 1989 and I think it only managed to get beyond Oxford once 🤦🏻‍♂️

Oxford. It had worked the 11:18 York-Padd from New St. As was often the case though, it was so late that it terminated at Oxford.

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!

Nice Tim, Sands Tristar in the background 👍🏻

Thank you, it has scanned really well 👍🏻

Me too, except for that all stations to the airport job we had on a Saturday evening with a 142! 😩

Ah, 86 was the one and only time I’ve done Farnborough!

Scott Rathbone @scottyrathbone.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

I’m guessing it would be around 1991/92

Scott Rathbone @scottyrathbone.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Very nice, I’m guessing these are at Farnborough?

I was intrigued by this thought, as many people are an enthusiast of both, even if one takes priority over the other. But then I thought about how many people are also bus enthusiasts, something that I personally don’t get, so it makes more sense.

Scott Rathbone @scottyrathbone.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Yeah, I noticed the number on the front and the name as it departed. First time I’ve seen it.

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
