Fantastic! It's amazing to think that with the first aircraft not only did people have to experiment with different designs, but also learn how to fly with no flying schools.

You know I just got Flight Radar myself. Awesome website. And when your drone flies at >50K feet, pretty easy to find

Great shot of the AN225, probably the only runway long enough in that area: mind you it did used to accept Vulcans when it was RAF Finningley!

Vulcans only required about 2500mtr runway, Mirya needs 3500mtr to take off and 3300 myrs to land (fully loaded).

A jet air tanker coming in for more retardant and fuel. Sadly 2 single engine air tankers (crop dusters) collided this same day, killing both pilots.

I was shooting wildlife moments before this Coast Guard plane came by, so I still had the electronic shutter on...and you can easily see the rolling shutter on propellers -

The original Hercules props were 4 bladed and square ended.

Those are high tech 6 blade variable pitch props. They really are curved on the leading edges.

Really?! I just figured it was an electronic shutter artifact. I’ll be damned.

An impromptu photo session with my friend Matt while he was departing the gliding field. Shot with EM1.2, I decided to go with the 12-40 but I should have kept the 40-150 on. Still pretty happy with the results even though it's a pretty heavy crop.

So.... I bought a Peak Design cuff, because the slide lite was pulling on my shoulder. I get a bit of stick from Mrs S. because, well, it is a bit bracelet like. However, it's easy to carry and I reassure her that I'll be primed and ready for action if "anything" happens.........

A few weeks later.......walking alongside Ladybower Reservoir, near Sheffield, right next to the dam wall, we hear a really loud noise but don't know where it's coming from. Suddenly, a bl**dy great beast of a plane comes around the corner of the reservoir, very close and low - like they were doing a Dambusters run (this is where they practiced during the war). Did I whip my cuffed-therefore-accessible camera to my eye and get a shot of this majestic plane as it angled over the reservoir? Did I boogery - the noise was so unexpected, loud and paralysing that by the time we'd gone "AAAAGH! wtf is that?!!" all I got was this as it flew off into the distance:

with the 14-42 kit lens at full stretch!

Someone with more knowledge of planes will hopefully enlighten us as to what kind of plane it is - but It seems to bear a passing resemblance to @Mountain_Man_79 's above - maybe they're cousins?!
