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.

Coventry Nightshoot 10/12/11

Post by Beer Monster »

Another good if not freezing nightshoot! Highlight of the evening being WR963, the MR2 Shackleton. We got there just in time for the morning test run, and all went really well.

Many thanks go to the team up at Airbase and the Shackleton Preservation Society.

The lighting was a bit tricky at times, but anyway here's a few from the night..

Note the Mk1 Shackleton nose in the background.

The atmosphere of the Anson and Dakota pic is very nice. The clouds and the light: :respect:
