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.

Another image from 1995 for today’s ‘Slide Film Sunday’.

This trip to the Lake District was only a few days after the weekend at Santa Pod but much more than that I can’t tell you… I do remember standing in the lake with my tripod and also how cold the water was!
