Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

EGXC - RAF Coningsby - your destination in 2015?

Post by CR-74050 »

Now that the new year nears, everyone is making travelplans for 2015. This June I visited RAF Coningsby in the U.K.. If you have never been to this base, put it on your wishlist for 2015. Great photo opportunities all around the air base, even if the weather is not so great. Here are some of my pics.

Great set of pictures indeed,, and yes, great Photo opportunities but bring a stepladder with you. The fence is rather high.. unless you want landing shots, which can be done too..

Hi Raptor25, all pics were taken off base. But as Herman pointed out, bring a big stepladder with you because the fence is rather high. But as you can see, iTS worth the trouble!

Cheers, Dick
