NEW Added 30 May 2025 - Peak (26 May 2025)
45118 on a Leeds to St Pancras railtour finding a jammy bit of light (not quite full sun) as it passed through Melton Mowbray.

NEW Added 30 May 2025 - Melton Mowbray (21 May 2025)
A trio of pictures taken at or close to Melton Junction, including the main reason I had gone there, for a pair of class 769s (ex-319s).

NEW Added 30 May 2025 - LTHT / GCR Bus Running Day (18 May 2025)
A very nice Sunday afternoon was spent at the Leicester Transport Heritage Trust / Great Central Railway vintage bus running day. A great event with some great vehicles on display and in service.

NEW Added 30 May 2025 - London (15 May 2025)
I went down to London in the hope of catching the pair of 56s on 6Y20 going over Battersea Bridge. The sun never materialised, so I opted for some rather loud video footage instead. The only still photos I have to show from the day were taken on the Waterloo & City Line while on my way back to the car.

NEW Added 30 May 2025 - RAF Brize Norton (14 May 2025)
It's been a while since my last trip to Brize, so me and Douglas the Dog spent the day on the fence and had a really good day, especially Douglas who found a nice stream to swim in. There was plenty of activity with a Swedish Air Force Hercules being the highlight.

NEW Added 30 May 2025 - Mach Loop (13 May 2025)
A trip to Bwlch in the Mach Loop in Wales. It was a fairly slow day with a flurry of USAF F35 activity early on as two 2-ships made multiple passes, but then the rest of the day only saw a single Hawk and a trio of Texans in the afternoon. I'm not complaining though, it's a pleasant place to be and the F35s made my day. 

NEW Added 30 May 2025 - Swanage Railway Diesel Gala (11 May 2025)
Only a few pictures from this event as I spent most of my time helping to man the GBRf charity stall on Swanage station. A very enjoyable day.

NEW Added 30 May 2025 - East Midlands Airport and a GBRf 66 (9/10 May 2025)
A few snaps at East Midlands Airport over a couple of days which included an Ethiopian Cargo 777 and a Central Airlines 777. In between the Central Airlines 777 arriving and departing, there was time to grab a quick picture of a GBRf 66 on the Midland Main Line.

Added 8 May 2025 - RAF Waddington (5 May 2025)
A quick Bank Holiday visit to RAF Waddington to witness aircraft departing to take part in a flypast over London to mark 80 years since VE Day.

Added 8 May 2025 - Leicester Rail Adventure (29 April 2025)
A class 769 being delivered to Leicester Depot by Rail Adventure power cars.

Added 8 May 2025 - Mixed Bag Sunday (27 April 2025)
Starting at Thurmaston, I bagged 56051 on an engineering train. This was followed by an Ethiopian Boeing 777 at EMA, then off to Willington and Branston for a class 37 / GWR Castle Vintage Train tour, and then finally a couple of pictures at the GCR's Diesel Gala.
