Some of mine from yesterday's flypast taken at Marks Tey, Essex. The helicopters and Lancaster joined much further south so I didn't photograph them although I saw the Lancaster in the far distance, here we go in appearance order: the Phenom and Texans were a bit spread out so there was a lot of sky...

an excellent tribute by the BBMF to Squadron Leader Mark Long who was killed flying a BBMF Spitfire last year, the starboard side wears the code L-NG with the roundel between the L and the N to spell LONG. Well thought out! The aircraft opened the display at Old Warden yesterday for their season pre...

Thanks for the comments guys.
I couldn't get all three in my shot when they were side on Pete so I just hoped for getting light on them as rhey were going away. The second worked better than the first (in my opinion anyway!)

I turned it off again yesterday as in the previous 48 hours I had a surge in applications from slammers which take ages to check through and ban. Something I currently don't have time to do sorry

Possibly not - the late Mike Branford was co-Admin. Following his recent passing, Andy (user-andygolfer) posted this as part of a post. I hope he won't mind me quoting it here: "...I will be doing what admin i can but Mike was far more knowledgeable than me so there may be instances where things do...

Hello Tim Not knowing where you live, there is or was a place that I used a few years ago on the edge of Colchester that gave a good service for cleaning and repairing Canon equipment.

Yes Roger, that's him . It's a sad day for this and civilian aviation, he was a key figure in the formation of both forums
Andy

Some of you may be aware that Mike and I are the co-admins on Civilian Aviation the civilian counterpart of FC and are thus very good friends. I'm very sorry to have to inform you that I had a call from Mike's wife Sandie earlier this morning to say that Mike died in his sleep during Monday night. S...

The heat haze was a bit of a sod but better than rain! an appropriate o...

many thanks Terry, I'm pleased you liked them.

Andy

many thanks for the kind comments, I was rather pleased with the Harrier photo, B&W often works well.
Sorry I've been a bit slow replying, been very busy with a familty bereavement and not been looking on here much.
