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.

EGXW - unusual visitor 5/3/08

Post by ursa_major »

I heard a B757 call up for ILS approach today, and decided to go see if my ears were playing tricks.

Sure enough, Monarch G-DAJB appeared and landed. it was returning an RAF Regiment unit back to Waddington from Afghanistan, along with a unit from Honington.

I don't normally shoot civvy stuff, but this was on military work. Unfortunately the sun went behind a cloud as he approached.
