Several visitors to Newcastle Airport today (via Whitley Bay). Airbus A400M (ZM405), Boeing P8 Poseidon (ZP805) and AIR X Airbus A340-300 that is apparently taking some footballists to a footballing tomorrow. Canon EOS R, Sigma 60-600mm Sport. ON1 for cropping and tinkering.

Just watched Hikari's Rental Family. Loved it. Absolutely loved it. If you get the chance go see/rent/buy it. You'll not be disappointed.

Irish Air Corps CASA/Airbus C-295 Persuader (286) over the Whitley Bay coast after heading down from Edinburgh. Not often they fly south of the airport (most of the time I've noticed anything from Ireland it's tracked north past the airport towards the coast). Canon EOS R, Sigma 60-600mm Sport. ON1.

A relative of mine had a Phillips system N1500, maybe? When I was a kid in the 80's we had "inherited" a couple of cassettes and I was obsessed with them. Single spindle, stacked reels, diagonal tape across the interior. Never seen anything like it and because of your post I've deep-dived! :)

Never thought I'd be using ice-grips to fetch the bin in, but here we are. Bought for use in Norway 14 months ago, first used in Whitley Bay!

If you thought that was bad, take a look at Uncloaked. I threw up a little with the Taylor Swift "quip".

Probably the last one from me for 2025, but here's the Moon over the Whitley Bay rooftops a short while ago. If it's clear go outside and take a look!

OK, you can now talk about TRON: Ares.

I feared the worst, but enjoyed it. The soundtrack wasn't as good as Daft Punk, however NiN do have a couple of good tracks on there.

I hope this gets released on 3D Blu-ray so I can watch it in Bigscreen.

Finally the clouds cleared in Whitley Bay this morning so I could catch the full moon. Still a little bit of high murk so not tack sharp. Canon EOS R, Sigma 60-600mm Sport. ON1 for cropping.

Managed to grab a couple of shots of the Moon in Whitley Bay before jumping into VR for a game of Mini Golf, as you do! Some great shadows on the terminator. Canon EOS R, Sigma 60-600mm Sport. ON1 for a tinker.

Immediately regretted my choice of clothing to get this Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 (D-ABYI) at 37000ft over the top of Whitley Bay this morning. It was a bit nippy!

North Shields, not South Shields. Catherine Addison-Swan, get your act together. This is the second, possibly third time I've seen this artcile.

Nowt but hail and a little ice here in Whitley Bay. Instantly regretted clothing choices when retrieving bin after collection (See?! Some of us do!). #Shorts #TShirt #GreggsCrocs
