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.

LPG Bruntingthorpe, UK (Preserved Military)

Post by FlyingmonsterFC »

The Lightning Preservation Group based at Bruntingthorpe here in the UK held there annual Twilight run and nightshoot with their three English Electric Lightnings last night. Two are 'live' F.6 variants - XR782/JS and XS904/BQ - and perform at numerous events on the airfield throughout the year. The last jet is a static example and the only uncut F.3 variant - XR713/C.

Some images from the event...
