Landing on runway 34 at Dublin, September 1986. This was Aer Lingus's last remaining 707 and it was retired and sold six weeks later.
Wearing those stunning shoes by Gos called Aven , and I feel like I am in a little paradise 💖😍❤️
Buttermere Dubs is the lovely little river that flows between Buttermere and Crummock Water.
The peak on the left is Fleetwith Pike and the crag in the centre is Green Crag, en route to Haystacks, here hidden by the wooded knoll on the right...
Preparing to depart off runway 35 at Dublin, November 1982, probably to Las Palmas.
This DC-8 had been delivered to Iberia in August 1969, being transferred to sister-company Aviaco in March 1981. It was sold in 1984 to international Air Leases as N4934Z and flew with Hawaiian for ten years before being acquired by Airborne Express as N822AX. It was retired in 2003 and later scrapped.
I'm about to leave the Lakes after a great trip. A morning storm is seeing us off after some testing warm conditions. The stone hut at the edge of Honister slate mine can fit half a dozen or so people for a night in the mountains. There are wooden sleeping platforms inside and a stove (bring your own wood!).
My viewpoint here was from the slate mining waste piles above the stone hut. Haystacks looks on in the background.
Dublin, March 2003. This was one of the first Brasilias to appear in Europe, when it was leased to DLT as PT-SIJ in 1986. Having passed through the hands of several operators, it was scrapped in Spain in 2011.
73117 & 73005 dub dub across the Spey River flood plains in the shadow of the 444 meter Creag Dhubh just south of Kingussie. The converted and re engined 73s now known as 73970 and 966 head the 1M16 2045 Inverness to Euston Caledonian Sleepers. The sun had long set and the lighting was diminishing fast. I was pushing the limits of normal hand held photography and I have paid the price with the foreground not being as sharp as I would like but in a week where a 66 normally piloted the up sleepers two 73s were a welcome sight and the black and white treatment is the best way to maximise this shot.
