Delta's SkyTeam livery on their Boeing 767-400, unfortunately another stunning livery gone after it was repainted a few weeks back.
I was very lucky to have caught it in some fantastic light at Heathrow on my first visit in December last year.

Saddened to hear of the fatal crash yesterday that killed two aboard G-GXVV, a Cirrus SR20 local to Birmingham. 💔
Here is the same airframe at Prestwick in August last year. I'm not sure if either person flying that day was involved in the incident.

Turns out it was an Aston Martin flight after all!
Aviation Photographer @sgouldphotography.bsky.social was on site, and got some shots of a suspiciously F1-car shaped box carrying AMR markings being loaded.

Antonov Airlines An-124 coming in very early in the morning at East Midlands. Ideally, I wouldn't go for a backlit shot like this, but a spur of the moment trip at 7am meant I had to put up with whatever lighting I was given. All things considered, it could've been worse!

Boeing 747-200 touching down at Birmingham Airport. It will take a while to get over this spot, even for a (mostly) plain white airframe, it will likely remain my catch of the year.

54 years ago today, the Ilyushin Il-76 flew for the first time! Conveniently, I caught this 'young' 16 year old airframe last week, so now I can make a birthday post for the aircraft 🎉

One of my personal favourite photos is of this Cessna Citation X, infront of an Indian Air Force C-17. I believe the C-17 at the time was transporting gold onboard, which made for a very heavy departure! Captured in September last year.

FlyPro Boeing 747-200 landing at Birmingham Airport, my first and likely last time ever seeing a 200. Turned 40 years old a fortnight ago, so a very old and rare bird!
