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.

Grim 22 Heavy (73-1676) departs Stansted

Hello all,

After missing this by five minutes this morning I was angry to say the least so the departure of this beauty made up for it, in stunning light! She was taking U.S. SECDEF back home after his five day tour. :thumb:

In fact I don't quite understand it. What did you miss exactly? Seems to me you didn't miss anything....! Am I wrong? Great pictures pictures by the way of a plane that doesn't really attract my attention normally. Especially the last one. Mjummie.
