An image from a few weeks ago… when the sun shone!
This 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Series-Sixty Special was spotted, not on Sunset Boulevard, CA, but rather just off Kings Road in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was a small classic car show in a local park and this appropriately dressed couple caught my eye…
Does the image title refer to ‘the look’ they’re exchanging or their outfits… You decide.

Fujifilm X-T10, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 24.3mm, 1/60s, f5.6, ISO 800
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Seven years ago it was exhibits at the fantastic Newark Air Museum in Nottinghamshire.
The Hunting Jet Provost is a type of aircraft I saw regularly as a child, on training sorties from (I believe) Royal Air Force (RAF) Cranwell.
Vickers Varsity T.1 WF369
Fujifilm X-T10, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 25.4mm, 1/60s, f5.6, ISO 800
The Vickers Varsity (shown here with one of its Bristol Hercules 264 radial engines uncovered) was another type used in a training role by the RAF… I don’t recall ever seeing one fly though.
The Newark Air Museum is well worth a visit, with over 70 aircraft (or parts thereof) on display there’s plenty to interest both the enthusiast and the casual visitor.
