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.

Post by FlyingmonsterFC »

October 12 saw the long awaited return to flight of the Battle of Britain Mermorial Flight's Avro Lancaster B1, PA474 after its engine fire in May.

Heading out to runway 07 at RAF Coningsby...

Once airborne the crew flew over the airfield a number of times feathering and restarting the engines..

...as for the narrator/commentary: his overdramatic text and intonation has been "panned"/vilified in all corners of the aviation hobby in the United Kingdom... :roll:

The smoke only really becomes visible from 6.35 .
