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.

Cambrai 16/01/2012

Post by Wim »

With the closure of BA103 Cambrai comming really close now, Cambrai was already long on my "to do list". Waiting some months now for some cold but sunny weather with eastern wind, 16 January finally was a day I'm waited for. Flying activity was pretty good for Cambrai standards with 4 different planes that day and 10 flights. Light was just perfect as you can see on the pictures. Enjoy one of the last pictures of the beautifull M2000C with 103 codes applied.
