Hi All,
Myself and Tom (LBARULES) had a wonderful day at MAN yesterday. We did the usual car park (meeting briefly with Mr Grey Area himself), AVP and Airport pub. The sun was shining, the beer was flowing and there were lots of planes!
Note To Myself… Leaving my nice new and rather expansive Sigma 50-500DG lens in KFC at Picaddilly station is not a good idea… Luckily it was still there when I ran back!
Anyway… Here are a few shots. Enjoy!

Paul was shooting downwards from quite high up on the MSCP for those two shots, Dan. Hence the lack of heat haze.
I knows it because I was a-standing next to him at the time. 😀

Excellent work Paul, I’m surprised that the first two Astraeus and PIA shots aren’t heat hazed! Good to see BYAF, an aircraft I’ve been on.

Top shots Paul. I love the first two 😀

Absolutely brilliant shots mate! Thanks for another great day, I got Lance was saying first time by the way ;).
I was just in the middle of editing mine but got a bit sidetracked, so they might not be on here until Thursday! Including the one of the DC10 I rather liked ;).

it deletes the images before he gets a chance to move them to his PC.
Ah yeah… Of course. I knew I was being stupid. I blame this rather warm weather!

I think what Mr Lance is trying to say is he made a little bo-bo in Wiping his days shots before them appearing on his laptop’s C-Drive!
Looks very busy at the AVP – Especially like the Biman and Sunair – Do328s are in the 146 good looks league!

Cheers guys!
Hmmm… nice work, Paul.
I note that, unlike me, you have yet to adopt the revolutionary technique of formatting your memory card before copying the RAW files to your PC.
It doesn’t half cut down on processing time but, on the whole, I advise against it. 😮
Formatting before copying? I’m probably being stupid as usual but what does that do?!

Fantastic photos there! The Biman DC10 doesnt half look good in the sunshine! Great stuff.
