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.

Eindhoven-Humberside in N473DC

Post by flying_kiwi »

I got lucky, and was given the opportunity join the C-47 on it's return to the UK, and then returned in our Cessna. (2:05 there, 3:10 back).
A brilliant experience, including a good old-fashioned beat-up along the beaches in England.

"Low" pass RTM:

The English coast and tail from the observation dome:

Made a quick '360' over this beautiful old steamtrain:

Old-fashioned air-co (door was removed for para-dropping and was tied down inside):

They obviously can be found on both sides of the North Sea:

10 minutes at 100ft along the coast!!!:

Hi Mike, didn't see it on the way to Humberside, but I definately remember seeing that golf course from the Cessna on the way back home (no photos though).
