Scottish Elises

Hello all,

Well my spare time is normally spent doing my favourite past time - Flying combined with photography. I have been fortunate in the past to fly with Air Forces all over the world of in all types of aircraft from fast jets to helicopters and even the Red Arrows.

I thought I would share a few from some opportunities ive had....

A self portrait first!!!


Starting local - Over the Firth of Forth






Over Fife


Cairngorms


Over the North Sea




Over Cornwall




Over Wales


Over Sardinia


24,000ft somewhere!


Over Somerset


Dusk in the Highlands


Over the North Atlantic


Finally, Going vertical a couple of weeks ago....




Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend!

You are a star Andy, fantastic photos, especially as they are very close to home.

You said Flying combined with photography, are you a pilot yourself?

You have the coolest job in the world! Awesome pics!

Any jobs going at your place?

Very nice indeed, thanks for sharing.

Here is a recent aviation pic of mine taken at the fly past at the Indy Grand Prix of Long Beach in April. Sorry can't remember the type of aircraft, I know that it was built near Long Beach. Lockheed C something?

What no microlights . cool pics.

Awesome photos! Very impressed. I had my first flying lesson a few months ago, and these photos inspire me to start thinking about getting organised to do some more..... although I will never fly anything like any of them, or take any photos like them!

I love the second pic, looks so unsafe but cool

Evening guys!

Thanks for all the comments - believe me, ive filled plenty of sick bags in my time too - im not a pilot though, although an occasional back seat driver!!!!

a few more of me in the back seat;





And one after walking from a sweaty Red Arrows display



Dominic, let me know how you get on with any further lessons!

Tenk, I have micro-lights from somewhere, will dig them out

Stewart, its a Boeing C17 - Globemaster manufactured at boeing Long Beach. You know, I can now call you a plane spotter!!!!

Thanks again,


Andy

WOWOWOW!!!

what the heck was an A10 doing over the north sea?!

Fantastic photos mate, you've been/are involved in what a lot of us would consider to be a dream. I'd love to see more photos

PS any F14s? I'm such a child!

You f***ing lucky b**tard!

I want to do that.

Very impressive.

Is the photography your living or do you have a dayjob?
