For those wanting to duck out for a few mins of aviation fix I present my pictures from Cruzex this year, some dissapointmeents for sure in cancellations but still with my main target being the AMX and Tiger's we we're vey wel...

Hi All, Close to two weeks were spent circumnavigating the island of Taiwan before heading over to South Korea with the hope of seeing the last of the ROKAF Phantoms before their retirement. What unfolded over those days was truly remarkable, we were so lucky with Taiwain, getting to see all of the ...

Merry Christmas everyone, this summer I opted to head to Poland for Radom, knowing it was the last opportunity to see the migs and fitter's I had high hopes to see capture some images of these iconic soviet designed aircraft. The weather forecast looked awful going into the event but for the most pa...

Seasons Greeting everyone, It's been a while since I've posted on the forums, a certain pandemic preventing travel and changes in my personal life kept me away from international travel. I had the Bahrain show on my radar from previous years, while a small event it does offer some really nice items ...

Hi All, Following on the from the 35's, a look back the Avianao F-16 deployment to Lakenheath. A great few weeks of flying with awesome weather and massive launches! 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50294990996_87d21965b6_h.jpg Aviano Viper and Eagle by Jonathan Haylock , on Flickr 2. https://...

Hi All, Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. I thought I would catch up with a few threads from a good few weeks of deployments in the East Anglia region. Starting with the USMC F-35's at Marham with a small selection. 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50346114497_efedfa58ee_h.jpg USMC F-35B...

Season's Greetings All, I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Christmas. For those looking for a short break from the festivities I present some exotic phantoms from the land of the rising sun in their twilight moments. The lure of shark mouthed Reece phantoms and a 301 special tearing up the skies o...

Hi All, So another RIAT has come to past, here’s my record from a consierbaly more damp and cloudy event to last year. I did feel the show was a little on the light side on any other day than the Saturday so will be interesting to see how that plays out in subsequent years. The MiG, Harriers and Fla...

Cheers everyone for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the shots, it was a special trip / event for sure and that really hit home when putting the set together. To answer a couple of questions: I' m pretty good with words usually, but basically what the previous posts have said! Best shots for a long wh...

Hi All, The flanker once again luring me to far away places, this time Malaysia focusing on the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition - LIMA for short. My main hope was to see exotic jets against an exotic backdrop, probably quality over quantity. What unfolded that week surpassed...

Merry Christmas everyone and I wish you all a Happy New Year. Thanks to everyone who I met this year its definitely been a memorable one. My last trip out was one which many a spotter had chosen, time with the Phantoms of Hyakuri and its airshow. I was fortunate to attend the Saturday of the show wi...

Cheers for taking the time to comment everyone, much appreciated

Hi All, A collection of some of the mil bits and pieces from the last couple of months. Its been a pretty good year for movements in the UK and this lot is without the Coningsby deployment! 1. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1926/44588884504_2bae1d1195_h.jpg Defender of British Skies by Jonathan Hayl...

Lovely images and well caught. Would it be possible to show us one of the images pre the post process, so us mere mortals can see the work needed to reach that standard... :thumb: Hi Jaybee, I'm not sure posting a RAW file will help much, most of them are un-cropped, un-sharpended and with less con...

Hi All, Hopefully room for another RIAT collection from what was a brilliant few days in Fairford. This was the best weather I've experience at a RIAT with plenty of sun and great photo opportunities. We had some friends of the family attend for their first time and I tried to get across that its no...

Excellent Jonathan, Good to see you on Thursday.

Cheers Phil, Good to see you too, those events are at least good at bringing everyone together

Thanks for taking the time to comment everyone, much appreciated

Hi All, As a Flanker fan I thought I would take a chance on Kadex this year. It was definitely an interesting experience from seeing all of the exhibits, combat demo and exploring Astana which appears to be developing at a rapid rate. The single Flanker display on the last day is probably as low and...

Hi all, Back in March I attended Red Flag for the first time and as it approached the visiting nations all dropped out and the home team turned up in force (while also coinciding with Green Flag). If I learned anything from Nellis it is the there's no guarantees photography wise, with two runways an...

Hi All, I thought I would gather together some of the Modern Mil items I've captured over the past three months or so. Its the time of the year where the nights drawn in and sunset/ night shots become all the more possible. In here are shots from the COAP night shoot at Coningsby which I remember be...
