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.

Although I’m not a huge fan of Halloween (or All Hallows’ Eve as it’s known in Scotland) this Pukin’ Pumpkin made me chuckle when I spotted it whilst on holiday in October last year…
Throwback Thursday… Desperate Dan, Dawg & Minnie the Minx!
Desperate Dan, Dawg & Minnie the Minx
Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 50mm f2 R WR, 1/1500s, f2.8, ISO 400
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Six years ago it was this statue of Desperate Dan from the much missed comic The Dandy.
Created by artists Tony and Susie Morrow the statue stands on High Street in Dundee, home to DC Thomson, the publisher of both The Dandy and The Beano (whose character Minnie the Minx can be seen in the background aiming her catapult at Dan!)
