Wonderful photos as usual, Lance. You didnt happen to see what the Dragonair 74 was playing at on approach did you? Looked a bit skew-whiff from where I was?

My ‘aviation achievement’ in 2007 was getting a job working for Manchester Airport.

The highlight within that was organising Manchester Airports Emergency Exercise for 2007. Worked alongside Thomas Cook, borrowed one of their aircraft (G-JMCE), got a load of volunteer passengers, wrote the ‘exercise scenario’, handled the volunteers on the day, had planning meetings with the emergency services (both airport based and external) for two months leading up to the day – and as the climax – started the exercise on the day, and watched the emergency services mobilise in response to the ‘accident’ – lots of blue lights, sirens and big fire engines and ambulances. 🙂 The results that we got may be used by the CAA and IATA to create an international standard procedure in handling evacuations of aircraft on airfields. 🙂

Dan, your EK shot at Gatwick has got to be one of the greatest, most original aviation photos I have ever seen. Well Done! 😎 🙂

As a Uni. student, I am going to saviour my Christmas meal when I return home in a few days. Us students don’t get good family meals very often, so I’m looking forward to it. A lot.

Full works on the Turkey, vegetables (including brussel sprouts; the traditional Christmas vegetable (or atleast used to be, before the supermarkets started to sell year round)), and all those sauces – bread etc. All washed down with a good wine.

There’ll be mince pies and Christmas pud. Crackers, with the paper hats and stupid ‘toys’ which, after about 5 minutes will be thrown in a drawer and forgotten about for ever more, and a Magners cider in front of the telly afterwards.

mmmm

Happy Christmas, everyone. 🙂

Don’t want to start an indepth conversation or flaming war, but: How does, what is effectively the worlds largest logistics organisation (the US Military), still require other companies (‘small South Carolina parts suppliers’) to transport a couple of screws across the other side of the world?

Why the hell can’t they do it themselves? If they can move millions of tonnes of war machinery across the world at a moments notice, why the hell can’t they transport a washer the same distance? I don’t get it.

Ha! Nicely done!

How many ants? Hmm… I’ll make a random guess at 107,477,351. I suppose it would depend on how big the ants were, though. 107,477,351 was just a random guess for the average sized ant. If the ants were really big you might only be able to fit 87,842,811. Small ants you might be able to fit more, like 132,690,162.

Hmm… I’m not even drunk and I still talk nonsense!

Paul

Do they each get a seat?

Your watermarks or your photos? 😀

Sorry… I’m joking of course! No, they’re not big or offensive by any means, although personally I’d fade them a little so they don’t jump out of the image quite so much. They’ll still serve their purpose in exactly the same way, but just hide within the image a little more. 🙂

Paul

I shall fade ’em a little next time. 🙂

Definately one of the most interesting and enjoyable sets of photos I have seen from you, Paul. So beautifully clear! The night shots have got to be my favourite.

Fly’ant’ is a strange one, though. Some prune will come up with flywasp or flyfly next….:p
