Blue Noser 2,714 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 (edited) Greetings all, went for a walk at work today around the airport, (well actually we were moving our dead aircraft around the airport) and despite it being enormously foggy there were a couple of subjects to grab a quick shot of. Air Transat A321 - This was actually parked right in our way 🤬 which added an extra 5000 steps to my day! So I shot it again A BAe 126 - I know Revell did a nice 1:144 of these A Beechcraft from EVAS Air - Again parked in our way! VH-71 Shell which we were towing When we were towing the last aircraft down something was coming down the taxi way, something very loud and sounding rather large loomimg through the mist! 😱 Edited February 23 by Blue Noser Probably shouldnt have posted the last pic! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh models does a vac conversion fuselage for the longer -300 (kit No. CV-2). Here's one I did a few years or so ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did a Royal Flight version (I think it needed a fuselage chop) but unfortunately it failed an undercarriage fit and never progressed any further, shame really as it was a really nice kit. I got the '1' and '6' right, so 2 out of three aint bad! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RWG686 23,546 Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 I had hoped to show you the six CF-118s which arrived at Prestwick en route to exercise Frisian Flag at Leeuawarden but they got delayed and didn't arrive until after dark so here's a few other things that were there 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RWG686 23,546 Posted March 23 Author Report Share Posted March 23 It seems that I am destined not to get decent photos of the Canadian Hornets. I went down this morning for their planned departure at 1300 only to find that they have been delayed 24 hours. Add a hazy day, an obscure parking area and no way to get close for photos leaves you with these from a mile away I'm afraid. This is their support KDC-10 The RCAF CC-130J is on a temporary detachment and is not in connection with the Hornets A bonus was this KC-10A. They will all be retired in a couple of years after over 40 years service. ( Yet the 60 year old KC-135 still soldiers on) 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Long 816 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 One of the things I like about staying in London is the constant stream of aircraft in the distance. These aren't great photos, lots of haze from about a mile away(at a guess), but I took them whilst sitting on the settee eating my breakfast this morning, and that's enjoyable enough to be vaguely shareworthy 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some image viewers/browsers/etc read that data and orient it based on that, and some don't. So it can get a bit confusing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was bought back from the RAF and sold to the land of @Vaastav becoming Indian Air Force BQ744 Canberras were used by us for the first time in 1962 to aid the UN forces in Katanga. They also served in the 1965 and 1971 wars with our Western neighbour. During their service they were well regarded for their durability and reliability. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feel free. Hunter T7 was red with white top Sea Prince is Sea Blue Gloss with white trim Neptune is standard colours You'll need to ask @Che Guava about the Super Cub colours. It was delivered new to them from Piper so is probably red. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Campbell 3,584 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 The Washington was at Foulness when I went there when working at Farnborough in 1968 along with bits of several others, all in a very bad way. We were looking for parts for a TSR2 [there was a nose section at Farnborough]for some project the boffins had come up with, there were most of the ones from the production line in various states of repair from almost destroyed to practically complete. There were literary hundreds of airframes there which made this[at the time aero spotter] very happy,all lined up nice and neat. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly red.....though dark blue, dark green and black were also available in that standard pattern (similar on Tri-Pacers too) and are indistinguishable in mono.There were also light pastel colours - turquoise, yellow etc offered which would have had black reg instead of white. So, in the absence of other evidence - take a guess. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
