Hi all
Did an extremely cold trip to MAN to catch up with some Thursday regulars,with a surprise or two for good measure
The IL76 was collecting an engine for a poorly TCX a/c

Thanks Steve and Grey Area …………..always happy with comments good or bad.Fully agree on both latter points.You simply can’t dislike an IL76 (particularly if you DID like ATPs!) and I was hoping for better clarity on several shots but at 4.15pm on a crap day I was probably pretty delighted compared with film/slide days.Whilst I would avoid posting a rubbish quality pic,I’d admit as an older poster to being more impressed with unusual visitors than trying to get a superb shot of the 60th EZY in a day at my local (Bristol)!!

I like the second shot of the IL76 (no taste, Mr Rowell!) but, if you don’t mind a bit of constructive criticism, it would look even better with a little more USM.

That IL-76 is indeed an ugly aircraft

Hi Hayden
Thanks for comments…….in view of the 2 rarities I expected more……but perhaps not enough blue and orange!!

Very nice pic’s Barry,
Glad you posted them!
You certainly picked the right day (not just for the Libyan either!)
