Aviation The aircraft thread

[evacguy]

I love aircraft, old and new, fixed wing or rotor, flying or on the ground. If you're a fan of aviation, please post your images to this thread.
I thought I'd start with some photographs I took on Saturday of Nettie. Nettie flew overhead while I was on my Saturday walk. I think she was on a pleasure flight as she circled several times before heading off. Nettie is a DeHavilland D.H. 89, Dragon Rapide. She was first registered in 1946 for the Royal Airforce and today is flying in Royal Airforce livery. Her registration number is TX 310. She is a beautiful old girl.

Some more recent photographs of Nettie, the DeHavilland D.H. 89, Dragon Rapide, flying over Greenwich Park. Doesn't look like she has any passengers, just the pilot. She was a long way off, so I had to crop in hard to see anything. I used the super resolution option in LrC to improve the image. Turned out reasonably OK. In tjhe last image you can see that there are no passengers on this flight.
