Was seen departing Rwy 15 at Birmingham

Here's a few of my 2005 favourites. The first shot is very poor quality, but I like the perspective of it with the 747 taking off in the background.

The original Queen Of The Sky!

I managed to snap the tail of our A319 at LGW before boarding our flight to LIS. There's something about it I like but I'm not sure what. Just an unusual view I guess.

And continuing my love affair with the 757, here's an ex BA 752 now fulfilling quite a different role in life.

OK, I know I'm being a little cheeky here as this is commercial aviation, but these three are definately among my favourite aircraft photos of last year, taken at Airbourne. Mods, let me know if you'd like them removing. I know they don't quite fit in with the theme of this forum.

I'm with you on the tap tail fin - It's a strange but interesting shot.

Well, as rules changed...
... here are my top 6 in no particular order.

Hmm very hard choices. I'll go with my top 5 too...choosing the top 1 is impossible.

Ok, well lets start with my most popular/famous of the year. Taken at LHR. (For anyone living in Germany, pick up this month's Aero International magazine for a look at the photo in print. It's part of the Top 20 photos of the year)

Now from the same day, probably my most successful sunset shot.

http://static.flickr.com/40/81689544_2ec837ca48_o.jpg

And here's quite a different one. The quality isn't great at all, but it was a very unique moment as this BA 747 had a go-around during sunrise at LHR.

A recent shot, from ACE a couple of weeks back.

http://static.flickr.com/36/81689546_2080f0b927_o.jpg

And finally, a tough choice. I didn't immediately think of putting this one. There are plenty more from ACE I could choose, and also one or two from my trip to MAN last week. But it got a bit of attention at the time, and it's still one I'm quite pleased with. It could do with a re-edit, but I'm too tired! Taken at the MAN forum meet, back in August.

Wannabe Pilot that Malaysia Airlines B747-400 is absolutely fantastic!

Just dropped by to take a look.

Some incredible work here.

My vote?

Hard to choose, but I'd plump for PMN's cloudy shot near the top :)

I must say that the standard of photography on this particular forum has come on leaps and bounds in the past few years. There's some really talented people on here now, some of whom were snapping with basic gear and little or no experience just a short while ago.

Always a pleasure to see these shots, and by the way, that Binter shot is ace !!!! :D
