It was a bit cold, so……

….I thought it best to go out on my bike and take some pictures (of my bike and aircraft).

With the lack of any decent snow this winter I couldn’t wait to get out and test the winter tyres I bought 2 months ago. The did offer grip so happy with the purchase. Anyway, pictures….

As you can see, there’s a fair bit of snow building up around the brakes – which makes them unusable. However a short trip on a slushy road soon sorted that out.

So time for a few winter aircraft shots…..

baby Air France A318)

Thomas Cook 757 - reverse thrust

So there you go, winter and some images what more could you want?

Series 2 of big flying devices…..

….. a new series started, oh around 3 minutes ago.

Sadly I missed the A380 flypast on Saturday 5th September as I was shooting a wedding (which of course you all know I don’t do). However as luck would have it Emirates agreed to bring their Airbus A380 to BHX (Birmingham) to celebrate the 70th birthday of the Airport.

I took a few pics……..

Sadly I went too early to grab a picture of the RAF TriStar that took off. So join me again soon or more like whenever the next big thing turns up.
