Throwback Thursday… Newark Air Museum

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

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.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Eight years ago it was this alien, painted underneath an old railway bridge that now forms part of a local path known as the ‘Greenway’.
The blurred figure in the distance is wifey… not an alien!
