One from a burst of 10 + perfect weather + perfect blue sky + perfect sunshine angle … and a good length lens. Quite lucky, all the same.

Superb pics Dave.
We’ve got the Scottish air show coming up in a few weeks although it’s just not the same without the Avro Vulcan.
I’m still fond of Thumper, though!
It visited Southampton Airport in Oct 16 - was grounded there because of weather for a few days.
Twitter can be so useful to know when it’s about to move again and get oneself in position.

Very unique. So much a plane of my childhood, too.

Luckily I am on the flight path and saw it many times in those final few years.
I also have a friend who knows the pilot, and he did some very low wing down flights over his home village ;o)

Another passion of mine … anything to do with “Space”.
I find visible passes of the ISS almost impossible to resist going out to watch - and taking pics of that is also fun.
This is a stacked composite of 14 exposures on 11/10/16 taken in my back garden.

I used to have an app that you could track ISS.
Also we only live about 1hr and a half drive from Kielder Observatory - Kielder Observatory is a public outreach astronomical facility located in Kielder Forest, in some of the darkest skies in Europe and the [third largest protected Dark Sky in the world. its amazing

The ISS only just makes it as far north as slightly north of me. Luckily that means I get quite a few passes that are directly overhead.
Would be relatively rare for it to get to about 40° elevation in Kielder … and more difficult to see at the more normal ~20° for that latitude.
Where’s this taken - nice light - dull all day in Essex ?
