I’ve been a little too busy to post regularly this December, the image below (courtesy of Mrs Claus) will hopefully explain what’s been keeping me occupied!

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.
