A small selection of images showing some of the visitors to MAN for the now defunct Air Livery hangar for repaint. A real shame that we lost it as it brought some quite exotic visitors!

Venus and Jupiter this evening. Unfortunately I can’t fit Mars in as well and Saturn and Mercury are below the horizon before it gets dark enough

Fairford and RIAT 2003, a rare appearance of a Latvian AF Mi-8MTV-1 from 1 Aviation Squadron (Helicopter Flight). The following year I took my first steps into the digital world and said cheerio to K64.

Back when movements were an unknown. After being carparked by one on my first ever loop visit in 2003, I had given up hope of catching a Ripple Jag at LL with retirement looming. Then this appeared through Cad, a week or so, prior to her final flight, in Nov 2005. #aviation #avgeek #machloop #jaguar
