Last monday my brother and I drove to Londen to drop off some belongings and bring him back home. I used the opportunity to travel through southern Brittain to do some spotting, visiting the HMS Ocean docked at the Thames near Greenwich Park (London) due to the Games, RAF Benson and RAF Brize Norton.
Here are some shots, as always: all C&C is more than welcome!

Hope you like them!

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. |

Very nice, the Merlin looks great in no 4. But the Tristar disappearing in to cloud does it for me!
