Hello! Dorset-based amateur, published photographer. I mainly take pictures of noisy mechanical stuff, so that’s mainly what you’ll get here, plus any random, cool bits I happen to see. All pictures are taken by me and are my © unless otherwise indicated.

If you don't want to be accused of inciting an insurrection, it's probably a good idea not to incite an insurrection.
Good bit of Insurrection advice right there

#SedateSunday

I love this shot I got of a German #A400M a few months ago. Great aircraft: agile, flexible and with a great soundtrack!

Ah, #FighterFriday, what would we do without you to cheer our week?

An RCAF #Hornet and a brace of French #Rafale. Lovely!

Looking up death statistics (always fun and surprising) half of the 21,000 or so accidental UK deaths are falls, poisonings claim a quarter, far more than road accidents (7%) Knife/sharp object deaths account for around 260, guns 29.
Less than 600 homicides per year seems remarkable for 70m people.

Lots of rain here in Dorset today. This is a cooler, dryer night a couple of weeks ago

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..." "not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..." "...you're rich. If you have, whatever-" "- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

#Ukraine plans to buy 150 Saab #Gripen-E AI-augmented fighters. Cutting edge European tech will make a formidable air force for Ukraine, already training and ready as early as next year. 👊🏼

Forty years ago, James Bond stopped Max Zorin destroying Silicon Valley in "A View To A Kill". In hindsight, we should probably have heard him out.

If you spell your name backwards and put an umlaut over the first vowel, that's your IKEA furniture name.

Griffon and Merlin Spitfires. After weeks of beautiful weather, white skies at #RIAT25 were hugely disappointing. Flat light is good for detail studies though.
