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.

The Stars Away Dc8-62F ZS-OSI is still sitting idle at Manston. Visited the airport today.. And the lady was waiting for me in glorious sunshine... Apperently the bird is up for sale and is due for a C check. Guess that will be a difficult sale..
Apperently they ask USD 500.000

Not filthy rich I'm afraid (or even just rich!!), but thanks for posting these great photos.

I don't live too far from Manston - I must get up there to see it sometime.
