Cirrus SR22 N663KK at Solent Airport. I am marking the beginning of 2018 with, predictably, a picture of an aircraft. On a day of cumulus and broken stratus, this Cirrus looked good in a burst of sunshine. TZ30_P1040848

EasyJet Europe A320 OE-IVB leaving runway 09 at taxiway D at Bristol after landing from Pisa. The Flight Lounge at Bristol Airport is a good place from which to watch aircraft if not entirely ideal for photography although the nearby fence does not obstruct a small barreled lens. I never cease to be amazed by the clarity of images from my much-loved TZ30 which can cope with friendly fences. FR24 is on in The Flight Lounge so I had warning of the approach of my first re-registered EasyJet A320; OE-IVB was formerly G-EZPH. TZ30_P1040885CE

The English Electric Lightning was a magnificent aircraft. XS936 is preserved at Castle Motors/Castle Air, Trebown (nr Liskeard). I first photographed it on 15 April 2014 . In early 2018 it could be seen in red oxide primer which suggests a forthcoming repaint and more glorious years of preservation. My pictures are not the first on Flickr but, in keeping with my reputation for story telling through my photostream, they can be viewed as a second chapter in this particular story. 200_3_P1040335
