... But i'll leave you with my all time favourite plane .. the mighty F-4 Phantom II
Coningsby eh? wouldn't mind a jolly jaunt down there myself. Yeah, the Lightnings right up there for me too, especially the F6 variant. If you've not been, you ought to go to Brunty on taxiing days, with the Lightnings et al. it'll blow your ears off though!More great shots @jaydean. Phantom and Lightning my all time favourites, keep them coming mate. Planning a trip down to Coningsby soon so will hopefully have some more to post myself!
Love seeing the old jets. They quite recently resurrected that retro scheme on the 737-8, or 900's can't remember which one now.American Airlines Boeing 727 (I think) at Chicago, IL O'Hare Field in 1970. I love the old orange lightning bolt scheme. From a Kodachrome taken by my Dad.

Right you lot. For fear of monopolising this thread, and boring people in the process, i'm going to lay off posting here for a bit (i'll try anyway). But i'll leave you with my all time favourite plane, icon of Cold War I (as we'll probably be calling it soon!), the mighty F-4 Phantom II
