Re: Manchester 09 July 2022

Great shots Paul, I'm also glad to see a shot of G-EZTC as I was on that one :) It was the Athens flight.

Re: Manchester 25 July 2022

That's a typical summer's day in Manchester :P

Very nice snaps mate, always good to see a 747 in Manchester (shame about the tossers onboard though) :D

LHR Landings from Myrtle Ave - April 2022

When down in LGW doing my cabin crew training I took advantage of a day off and instead of doing revision decided to head over to Myrtle Ave, I screwed up and got there a few hours later than desired but still managed to spend a good 3 hours filming there before they switched runways. I ended up spe...

Re: Manchester 28 May 2022

Great shots Paul, I'm especially glad to see that shot of G-EZGN as I was onboard whilst doing my "first" operational day as cabin crew (having waited 13 years to get my wings back).

Re: MSFS 2020

I got it on release day after months & months of anticipation and well, I'm a bit mixed. VFR flying is now entirely possible without the need for any addons, my first flight was taking off out of Barton Aerodrome and flying around my local areas of the North West and could easily identify the roads ...

Re: FSX Heathrow 1970s AI traffic

That's really cool, I'm looking forward to having some classics like the 1-11 in FS2020 but know it'll take years :( With regard to the modern buildings, while changing them out or removing them is difficult (and well above my knowledge base these days) it should be possible for you to "lose" the mo...

Eh? Oh My God!

I lived nearby and commuted right past his place for years until 2015 :/ I'm too far away now to get over and try and take a snap.

G-TCDF Departing Skiathos 13/05/2018

Thomas Cook's G-TCDF taking off from Skiathos Airport on a murky Sunday evening, I know most prefer the more traditional departure but I enjoy the odd Xanemos Beach departure too as you are that close you get to enjoy the sound even more :)

"Grounded" Web Series: your thoughts please

Hi Chaps, In an attempt at expanding my aviation YouTube channel (Expo Aviation) I've started a spin-off series of "programmes" that looks at airlines which have gone bust which I've called "Grounded". The first episode went online just before I went on holiday a few weeks back and as I'm putting th...

Re: Cumbrian Hoovers railtour 14/4/18

Yeah Cargo-D went bust I think around 2013-2014 which was a shame, the positive was that at least DRS took on the stock so it's getting daily mainline use :) I know what you mean about imagination, if only we could convince Rivera to paint that Genny in Blue & Grey or a full set in Intercity and we'...

Great shots :) Here's my video of them at Wigan and later Bamfurlong on their return in the evening. https://youtu.be/RR1EdKcycVw The Cargo D stock went to DRS, the stock that was used in this tour was the Rivera stuff which has finally been painted into Blue & Grey after spending far too long in fa...

Monarch Cook A321 First Visit to Skiathos

The former G-ZBAO caught making it's debut appearance in Sunny Skiathos in the hybrid Monarch Airlines / Thomas Cook livery. It was the first time I've seen a Monarch bird in flight since their demise, gonna take a while to get over that one :( https://youtu.be/bxGXM1BwKvE I had trimmed it down a bi...

Re: Skiathos Water Cannon Salute

Thanks Mike, There is a standard security fence along the perimeter however at the end of the runway it's replaced by coils of razor wire hidden in the long grass and a well hidden moat - well a trench full of weeds and quite possibly alligators ;) Having eyed it up myself I reckon it would take a g...

Skiathos Water Cannon Salute

I've just got back from a holiday to Skiathos and just like last year happened to be on the first flight (this time I'd planned it especially) and once again recieved a water cannon salute to welcome the first charter flight of the year. I filmed the landing and subsequent shower and stuck it on my ...
