The last time my Grandad talked about Dorniers they were up to no good ! Well, Grandad, this is a good one ! Operated by Airborne Research and Survey Facility (ARSF) this Dornier 228 is based at Gloucester airport.

That's All Folks.....

Yes, folks, James's smarter brother, Jon, slips skillfully passed and on to my flickr stream. I've virtually run out of aircraft to post this year. Luckily, I've still got some more Tornadoes to keep me going ! Best of British at Kemble was the one and only show I managed - there's always 2013 !

This photo was awarded 2nd place in the Airscene 2013 Calendar Competition. It is the entry for July, under the title "Break!", and I got to win some nice prizes !

Two Tornado aircraft break formation. I am sometimes asked if some of my photos are taken from the cockpit of another plane while flying.

This photo also features on the cover of Airscene's Photo Year Book which is a real honour.

Tornado ! The awesome power of a tornado can be described both as deadly and eerily beautiful.

It is nature at its most ferocious and many people describe the noise as a loud train crashing through a town. Most tornadoes are over quickly leaving behind a wake of destruction and contrastingly serene weather after they pass.............I'll go along with that !
