Welcome
Hello and welcome to my website.
Although this site is mainly aviation based I do add other themes to my collections.
The Aviation pictures are mostly from my 'local' airport which is Manchester, though I do occasionally visit Liverpool and my local airfield at Barton.
About Me
My intrest on planes all started in 1980 when my dad took me to Manchester, then better known as Ringway. We went to see Air France Concorde, F-BVFB. It was at that moment that i was hooked and then made frequent trips to MAN collecting numbers. This went on for many years and travelled the country visiting all the main airports. I did invest in a SLR and took many shots, which are now great to look back on.
But as life moves on and my intrest was put on hold for many years due to work, family etc and it wasn't until Boxing Day 2004 that i made a visit back to MAN. The bug had got me again and stated number crunching all over again! In April 2006 I bought myself a camera and gave spotting the boot as its quite hard to spot and try to take good shots at the same time?
I will try to add pictures as often as I can and please enjoy my site.
Camera's used are
Canon 350D
Sony DSC-H1

Location:Nr. Manchester, England.
