.... to take photos. Honest occifer. I was only taking pics of the pretty aeroplanes, not your factory. Shocked Never mind, it's a long story. Roll Eyes Wink At least the security lady was very nice about it. Smiley

Nice morning with a steady breeze so I ventured over to Shoreham. Here's my first shots of 2005. Nothing unusual, just a normal day.

Not quite how I wanted it. On finals with Lancing College in the background. Note the helo over the belltower or whatever it is.
...

Ben's personal Cessna. Wink
...

Two for the price of one. Airliner out of Gatwick at top right. Heading for somewhere a tad warmer I expect. Got this by pure accident like all my best shots. Wink
...

The local Chipmunk.
...

I missed this one when it landed. Finger trouble again. Embarrassed...

Rockhopper Islander arrives from the Channel Islands.
...

Ah, I enjoyed that. Just like old times. Wink
These turned out better than I expected after a long break. Hope you like 'em. Wink

Good to see what it's supposed to look like, if you saw me on one of my finals I'd be at a 45 degree bank angle with my instructor fighting for control.

They're on their best behaviour cos they saw me lurking with my camera. Wink

It was a tad breezy & I have some approach shots at crazy angles. Usually meant they went round again.

The only plane that I almost died in... a Brittain-Norman Islander........

Long story short, by the time we landed, the ice was so thick we landed at full throttle........... It was Christmas time too.

That pilot (not to be named) has since died after flying a C-46 Commando into the side of a mountain. He also killed a co-pilot in a previous crash in a DH Caribou.

LOL! I know about that, my friend... maybe you need to fly the C172 more often in FS9, if you don't already...Wink and BTW, if he says "I got the airplane", that means let go... Wink Seriously though, if everything is not 100% stable and looking good at the top of final, I say: go around.

Hehe... I hope you were right under  that Cessna, else it's headed for a stall. Was it a bad approach,  or did they see you near the fence pointing something right at them, and panic? Grin
