I have been reading the thread over the last couple of day, and although not really a spotter, I do like aviation its mainly old warbirds and military and generally seen through a viewfinder. Below are some example images

Looks good.
I remember when I went to see the 787 do a fly past over EMA and Derby back in 2010.

:welcome: to the forums.

How do you get a seat to take those shots and what in?

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

especially that shot of the Eagle you got there

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

Hi guys,

The Hurricane shot was taken at the Fly to the Past airshow at Kiddlington/Oxford Airport last year. The Tornado and F15 Eagle shots were taken from the side of a hill in the Welsh Valleys

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
 

The UK's fisrt F35b has flown, i thought we were now going for the C variant which had longer range and more carrying capacity, still not sure about the aircraft although warming to it.

The Oxford Airport Fly to the Past show is a lovely themed show with a big screen so you don't have to panic about getting a decent spot to view the flying. Children go free too, so a great family event. Linky

martipa will be on the Welsh hills plane spotting at the end of May :rofl:

No, I hadn't, excellent!

Whilst searching for a video of an extremely low Hunter pass that I downloaded once & lost, I found this:

Never heard of it before!

They should have done that with the sea harrier or even the harrier itself
