Forum rules
This 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.
Nice photo impression from Brunty! The EE Lightning is one of my favorite aircraft. Just wondering if during your visit you heard something about plans for a Cold War Jets open day in 2009 as they had a few years ago at Bruntinghorpe. I already mailed the Lighting Preservation Group but no response (yet) from them. During this event they performed spectacular high speed taxi runs (or simulated take offs is maybe a better description) with not only the Lightning (both engines with full afterburner!!) but also with the Victor, Canberra, Buccaneer (including wingfold demo) and even with the Comet! I am waiting for a similar event and can recommend everybody to pay a visit to Bruntingthorpe. And ofcourse Brunty is also home base of the only flying Avro Vulcan in the world. The Vulcan Operating Company is by the way really trying to get enough financial resources to continue flying this again marvellous british design during the 2009 airshow season!
Best Regards,
Theo

theo: I heard when I was there that an open day is planned for the May UK bank holiday this year when almost everything that can make a run will make a run or two. (I didn't hear that directly from a member of the LPG but from someone who was talking to an LPG member, it does sound like it will happen though).
