Hi guys,
As you’ve seen from Paul’s shots, the weather at MAN today was pretty horrific. Didn’t stop us getting shots though, i’ve ended up doing a quick edit of more than I intended to, so here’s 43 shots, enjoy!
Thanks for the day BTW Paul :).

Love them shots – we’re not complaining about the number – well I am – too small if you ask me 😉

Stirling work with the pics there, in miserable conditions.
I went up on Saturday and only stayed for about half-an-hour – the conditions were awfull. took a few pics which showed on the camera moniter as being desparately un-inspiring for colour etc, due to the gloom
I wont post them all here, but i took a few pics as the sun came out and when i got them home onto the pc i was surprised to see they were all a bit soft and out of focus.
Strange, thinks i, but on closer inspection under the photoshop microscope i found that the lack of sharpness was actually due to heat haze coming off the rapidly drying runway between me and the aircraft !!!
Didnt know whether to laugh or cry….

Nice selection Tom, I would also add the words gloomy, dark and miserable to your thread title 😀 😉 :diablo: :dev2: .

Agreed about the weather, next time we might actually be able to see the aircraft! (probably not ;)).
Being able to see the aircraft would definately be a BIG plus! This is the view Tom and myself had from the Airport pub just before we left. Not ideal photography weather I think you’ll agree!

The Precipitation Curse of Lance Casey at work perhaps? :diablo:

Watch it Nichols :D.
Had major hosting problems, as you can see I used two different sites, had to upload my shots to Photobucket twice, as the first time they were in stupid sizes! Got it sorted now.

Great shots Tom, and it only took you 3 days to get them up on here 😀
T’was a good day, but I think next time we venture to The Dark Side Of The Pennines, we need to at least attempt to make sure it’s when something that vaguely resembles sunlight is present!
