      Nice ... you work at Ringway?

      It use to be Saudi AF C-130's collecting things and parking in the old overnight bays that was the MidEast attraction (along with HS125 BizJet HZ-BIN owned by the family of someone notorious).

      One thing I note (and it happened a few years ago) is the runway numbers changed from 24/06 to 23/05 (as magnetic north moves). [Yes and there are Left and Right runways these days ... I recall in the 60's ... before the tunnel ... crossing the runway in a car was controlled by traffic lights!].

      Thanks for those.

        Don't know much about planes, or the significance of this particular one, but I do like your images here, No2 is a corker, an abstract, almost surreal feel to it.

        Last is very good also, but I would have liked a smidgen more empty space on the left for it to fly into.

          Hi Les, thanks for the comments, i totally agree with you on the last image. i have just bought a 300mm prime lens and i have to admit it is taking some getting use to as i don't have the ability to zoom in and out as i did with my 100-400, so with this particular shot i would have had to let the aircraft get further down the runway in order to get that perspective and i think the angle would have been lost then....i'll get there though :)

          Cheers

          Carl.

            #2 is the standout for me Carl. Thanks for sharing.

              Hi MX5

              No I don't work at Ringway and unfortunately I don't near enough time there! Your comment on the traffic lights too cross the runway made me smile. I am not old enough to remember that system, however I saw some pictures the other day which indicated this, there was hardly any perimeter fence of note either.....I reckon the aircraft were of more interest too!

              Thanks for looking.

              Cheers
