XK655 (cn 06023) Ex-G-AMXA. Shown the day after its undercarriage collapsed on delivery to the Strathallan Collection’s grass airfield at Auchterarder, Perthshire, following its retirement from 51 Sqn, RAF Wyton. It was one of three R2 reconnaissance aircraft that flew with the squadron. It was eventually broken up when the Strathallan Collection was dispersed, but apparently its nose survives at Gatwick. |

G-BSST (cn 002/13520) Concorde 002, the British prototype, is seen here taxiing back across the main runway at the BAC test facility at RAF Fairford, probably returning from an engine run in the noise attenuators on the south-east side of the airfield, on a gloomy October evening in 1974. A fleet of BAC support vehicles can be seen also crossing the runway in the middle distance. (Zenit B & 200mm Dixons lens) |

EC-*** This picture was taken from easyJet 737 G-EZJX en route Faro-Luton and shows an Iberia A340 westbound over north-central Spain about to cross below us at about 1550hrs, about 45 minutes into our flight. The 737 windows were in a bit of a state and the autofocus lost lock-on a few seconds later – I shall use a manual infinity setting next time. I don’t fly much and have always wanted to be in a position to take a picture like this. (400D & stabilized Canon 28-135 @135, 1000th sec) |

ZD851 / 112 (cn 450/BS149/3205) The cloudless sky over Anglesey on the day of the Valley Aviation Society charity photo call was actually very full of water which condensed dramatically during the high-speed g-pulling of the Tornadoes during the RAF role demonstration bombing runs. This 13 Squadron aircraft carries a BOZ-107 chaff and flare dispenser under the right wing-tip and a Sky Shadow 2 ECM pod under the left, with Sidewinder acquisition rounds on the drop-tank pylons. (40D, Sigma 80-400@400mm; 1000th sec, image stabilized) |

XX194 / CL (cn 041/312041) This Hawk from 100 Squadron at Leeming is pictured in Gaydon Hangar following recovery to Valley after a bird strike. The cockpit canopy has an enormous hole punched in it and fragments of the canopy glass have peppered the airframe with dents and perforations. The flat rear cockpit windscreen (mid-canopy, immediately behind the front ejection seat) is covered in reddish-brown bird puree. (400D, Sigma 28-300 & tripod, three second exposure at f16) |

04-4082 / FF (cn 645-4082) This was the first display of a Raptor in the UK; the Demo Team East from Langley AFB, Virginia, sent a pair to the ill-fated RIAT. This picture was taken during the Friday display rehearsal between the rainstorms that would cancel the display weekend. The aircraft is from the 192nd Fighter Wing.
