    The aircraft ‘preserved’ at Lasham are in a similar condition but there is certainly one rare type there that would be worth saving- a DH Drover.

    The word Airbus often appears on London buses but I doubt they are related 🙂 (some might disagree though)

    Also Metro (BL) and Metro (Sweringen)

    There are also Puma, Corvette, Cougar, Falcon in both car & aircraft forms

    PS 7 also has it. To use it to find those horrible dust spots do the following :

    1) open original image
    2) create duplicate layer
    3) select duplicate layer then ‘equalise’ (from tools menu)
    4) select original layer
    5) selecte healing brush icon (3 squares on a diagonal) and apply to dust spots.
    6) Turn off / on layers to make sure all are gone
    7) Delete the duplicate layer (not the background layer)

    voila – a dust free image.

    Why not go for the EI option – save the hassle of LHR. An added bonus is that you clear US customs / immigration this side of the pond.

    very nice pictures – no problem with the authorities whilst taking pics ? – I only ask because I was stopped there years ago for taking pictures because the ramp was classified!

    Global Express,

    no did not manage to find that spot – Woodley / Waterman is on the eastern side of the airfield rather than the western Having said that a drive round (clockwise direction) will allow the side roads to be explored and you may find somewhere more suitable. multimap will give a good indication of the roads that offer some views but Woodley is the main road on the east side.

    Ref frew – yes there is the in ‘n’ out burger place which I spent some time at late afternoon – it is ok but you will need a wide lens to get anything large in.

    Thanks for the kind comments – much appreciated.

    Global Express – yes we visited several other airfields Santa Monica, Van Nuys, Whiteman, Hawthorn (inactive as runway being repaired) Compton, Torrance and Burbank. The only ones with biz were Santa Monica / VN / Burbank & 1 HS125 at Compton (N4CR)

    Van Nuys was best for biz but wx was foggy to start with so could hear but not see them – there is a ‘viewing area’ but it took us ages to find. Address is Waterman / Woodley with Woodley being the major road & Waterman is by a small fire station – we drove past it twice. Viewing area does offer ok views but the fence is high with wire on top which does intrude into pics – i only have a few biz pics without it so may post them here somewhen – if they would be of interest. Easier to do a circuit clockwise and turnings will be on rhs making things slightly easier – if you can, it is worth paying a bit extra to get a gps system for the car – worth its weight in gold.

    Mark,

    glad you like the shots – as for Imperial being accessible by foot – tricky but I certainly saw buses along that road (number 103 ring a bell but do not quote me) and you could always get a taxi. (Imperial Hill East – opposite no 500 which is a mortuary)!

    Thanks for the comments – it might look hot but wx was varied – usually foggy in the mornings but generally got clearer during the day. Also visited a few other airfields so may post more stuff when i have time
