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.

English Electric Canberra WT333 - Bruntinthorpe (Pres)

Post by FlyingmonsterFC »

English Electric Canberra B(I)8 B.6 Mod WT333 celebrated the anniversary of her maiden flight with a fast taxi at 'her' home of Bruntingthorpe, Leics on January 30 in front of gathered guests 60 years to the very day that famed test pilot Desmond de Villiers. Joining the guests were members of Wing Commander Roland Prosper ‘Bee’ Beamont’s family – the very man who flew the prototype Canberra for the first time on May 13, 1949.

Dennis Brooks - the day's taxi pilot - pauses for a moment of reflection...

It must be frustrating. Feeling the power of the plane you know so well, but being "unable" to take off.....
