    hi pagen.
    thanks for that.i lit the tailpipe with a very small led torch that had a flip over red filter which i placed right up inside the pipe, and because this was taken at 0100hrs in the pitch dark the long exposure needed produced this result, i was just messing around.

    flygirl, as always some lovely photos.having never been to duxford (which will be corrected next year) were these photo`s taken from the crowd line or did you have access beyond that-hope you dont mind me asking.

    thanks

    with all this talk of airbase moving down to newquay,i haven`t seen any date mentioned-or perhaps i`ve missed that but i wouldn`t of thought that it would be anytime soon for the following reasons:- yes a new access road has been built which takes you to the back of 404 hanger, however, a new security fence has been erected around the old tower and the old visiting acraft section building so you can`t walk onto the airfield.and the apron in front of the hanger has just been upgraded to meet caa specifications for 737 aircraft.now with all that work having just been carried out i wouldn`t have thought that the airport would allow static aircraft to fill it up and i can`t see them handing over a section of taxiway either.having seen the picture on post 80, i would have thought that a lot more room would be needed at newquay and that would mean building on one of the adjacent fields and that doesn`t happen over night.
    anyway thats my halfpennies worth,i`ll shut up now.but i will say that i am looking forward to see this happening.
