I managed to catch a 727 at Filton.....this one only came in last week....there's still one more in the MK hangar

The rain stopped just as she started her engines and she created a little bow wave as she moved down the sodden runway

Are the engineless 747s still sat there?

Nice shots, but happiness is 4 smoky engines, not 3!

The engineless DC8 is still there, as is one of MKs 747s (but I don't know if it has engines or not)

Cracking shots mic!!

Do they have a lot of bird strikes there? Seeing all those birds in #2, #3, & #4 make me very uncomfortable.

It's not far from the sea, but the fact they are where they are in the shots shows the bird scarer's doing his/her/its job.

They were all disturbed by the sound of a jet aircraft...doesn't happen much any more

And birdscarer.....what birdscarer?

Love the 727.... Makes me remember my first plane trips when I was a kid

It isn't, it's a trick of perspective:

oh cool....i thought it was one that was less fortunante

All very very nice shots. That old airplane is very near and dear to my heart.

That was a Super '27 BTW. It has the -217 engines used on the MD and Boeing 717 aircraft, plus the Stg III Hush Kit, and of course the winglets. Supposed to offer a 3% increase in fuel economy.

Gorgeous as always Mic, you can make rainy day shots look good
