If you're taking a break in the far SW, those RN Jetstreams are for ever doing C&Bs at St. Mawgan (or Newquay Airport if you like) With an easterly wind there's nice gravel laybye just alongside the threshold on the coast road and you get superb views of them from there.

Heh fair enough, thanks for the comments.
I'm just using an old D50
Here is another couple of classics that also came in:
The Chippy parked next to the Dak that is based here but seldom flys.
In fact here is some pics I was going to post a few weeks ago but forgot!

Bit dark though but meh.

Nice Jonesey.. not bad at all considering the light
Do you know where Luz Air are from (the Tristar)?? Looks like a Portuguese flag on the nose so I wonder if it's an ex-YES aircraft :think:

Great day, great shots! I didn't think that 747s were allowed at Liverpool anymore after one tore up most of the runway edges.
