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?

Four years ago it was the seaside town of Sheringham in Norfolk.

I can’t remember where we were staying but this image was definitely taken whilst wandering to or from the pub (probably the Windham Arms… they serve an excellent pint!)
