Went to Yorkshire Air Museum last night to take part in a Time Line Event called "Gulf Veterans" Great night, and this is one of the photos I took when the Victor was back lit and the use of smoke machines.

That's excellent, bit of a shame about the starter truck or whatever it is on the right, but excellent

(Could always clone it out)

Really like this Martin, good mood and lighting

. Nice to see these without people about as well. Is this an annual event there?

Thank you Paul. There is normally some kind of yearly event at the museum. If you check out http://www.timelineevents.org/ thats where you can find out what's happening and join a mailing list. Been on a few events with them now and all been great.

Cheers Martin for the info. Just checked the site and its fantastic. What an opportunity to get close and personal with these wonderful aircraft. I did the lightning fast taxi this year and left early as was so disappointed with the set up. Would happily pay a bit more for this type of set up and enjoy the time.

You're welcome Paul. I agree it's a great opportunity to see things or sometimes don't get the chance often to do. If you are interested below is a link to a vlog when I went to one at East Kirkby so you can also see hows things are.
