Aviation Portfolio

Seamus85 · Apr 18, 2018

Morning all,

I mentioned in my introduction post that my passion is aviation so thought I'd share a selection of my favourite images taken over the years. I spend much of my spare time travelling across the UK attending airshows and hunting aircraft 'in the wild' so to speak, and this is just a small sample of the results. Happy to post more if there's any interest.

Excellent set of images..............

As I scrolled slowly through these, I was thinking: " I am going to have a hard time picking a favorite from these ". I reached #14 and I thought that no more! That is maybe my personal favorite aircraft photo I have seen anywhere on this site. Please, PLEASE post more. I am sure someone will tell you when posting multiple images, it is good practice to number them so the lucky viewers can more easily make a comment on a specific one. You have some incredible shots here and I am very envious of your access.

Some stellar work!

Shaun, some beautiful work here!

I too love aviation stuff! I am so jealous that the airshows on your side of the pond have a much larger variety than ours.

Thanks for the kind feedback, glad they were of interest.

I'm glad you enjoyed that shot, it's one of my favourites, and one of the best aircraft around too. I absolutely love the Rafale! I'll post more in time, but am conscious I could easily spam the board!

We are lucky here in the UK to have such a healthy airshow scene, as well as regular deployments of foreign types, but there are plenty of types on your side of the pond I'd love to see and shoot. One day I'll get over there....

Thanks again,

Shaun
