A few weeks ago I took part in a night photo shoot at Newark Air Museum (in Nottinghamshire, not New Jersey) and this is my favourite image from the evening…
XM594 was delivered to the Royal Air Force on 9 July 1963, entering service with 27 Squadron as part of RAF Scampton’s Blue Steel Wing (Blue Steel was an air-launched, rocket-propelled nuclear armed standoff missile, built to arm the V-bomber force).
XM594 made its final flight on 7 February 1983, to the former RAF Winthorpe, home of the Newark Air Museum.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
10 years ago it was the 1940s-themed Quorn & Woodhouse station on the Great Central Railway.
No trains were running but the Butler Henderson Café was open and hot chocolate and cake were definitely on the menu!
