Scottish Aviation (Handley Page) Jetstream T.1 This aircraft is one I know well ! I used to walk past it, most mornings, on my way to/from my office at RAF Finningley, South Yorkshire. Finningley is now a (temporarily closed) civil airport on the outskirts of Doncaster. The Jetstream used to be on the strength of No 6 FTS, RAF, but is now on display at Newark Air Museum, Nottinghamshire. Although built by Scottish Aviation, the aircraft was designed by Handley Page #aircraft #Newark #SouthYorkshire RAFFinningley #RAF #airport #Nottinghamshire #Yorkshire #UK #avition #ScottishAviation #6FTS #Doncaster #museum #aviationmuseum #HandleyPage #NewarkAirMuseum #avgeek #aviationphotography #photography#aviationlovers

Panavia Tornado F.3 The Tornado GR.1 was originally produced by the European multi-national Panavia concern as a 'strike' aircraft. However, the Royal Air Force also needed an air defence fighter, capable of defending U.K. airspace. Redesign, including a lengthened fuselage, new radar, air-to-air missiles, and engines re-worked for higher altitude operations, gave rise to the Tornado F.2. Sadly, the new radar wasn't ready in time for this aircraft, which meant that early examples flew with a concrete block in the nose to restore balance! The final version, the F.3 (as shown here at the North East Land, Sea and Air Museum - NELSAM - in Sunderland) proved itself a capable long-range interceptor. #NELSAM #NorthEastLandAirandSeaMuseum #museum #aircraft #Panavia #multinational #NATO #RAF #RoyalAirForce #fighter #interceptor #missile #engines #UK #airspace #radar #Tornado #TornadoF2 #concrete #European #aviation #aviationphotography #photography #avgeeks #avgeek #aviationmuseum #exhibit

Welcome to the OLDEST flying #aircraft in the World! This 1911 Blériot XI was manufactured approximately 3 months prior to that held at Old Rheinbeck, New York, USA. This aircraft is part of the Shuttleworth Collection based on the grass airfield at Old Warden, #Bedfordshire, #UK. It is fitted with a three-cylinder 'fan configuration' air-cooled Anzani engine. Due to the significance of this #Blériot XI , its flights are strictly limited to straight 'hops' down the length of the grass #runway at Old Warden, during certain public events. #history #aviation #photography #OldWarden #aviationmuseum #oldestaircraft #ShuttleworthCollection #grassairfeld #museum #BlériotXI #Anzani #aircooled #avgeek #technology #flight #aviationphotography #Mastodonaviation #Mastodonphotography
