Well i decided to take my camera with me today on a trip through filton, and surprisingly its was packed with planes, because we were going through fast i could only get a few shots. but here they are
tail of one of 2 747's in there

private 767 previously owned by britania from the looks of the paint scheme

2 747's side by side

closer, these things are huge

notice anything strange?

pleanty of choppers flying round to today.

there was also a charter 757 usually housed at bristol and a saab 340 sadly to short a time to get them all. There was also concorde but its been moved to the far side well out of zoom range, and the second one ever built in a sorry state waiting to be moved and rebuilt.

Better that is looses a couple of engines than goes to Liverpool and ends up on four piles of bricks minus its U/C Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Pretty good shots from a moving vehicle there Craig. That camera of yours can't be at all bad either. Wink

thank sir:). The camera is pretty good in lighting conditions like you see there, although taking the pics through glass gave those reflections. Its a little difficult to take pics in low lighting conditions with it though
