Essendon Hanger

For months I’ve tried to get in to see these planes in the glass hanger at Essendon Airport.
The other day I was outside and saw the provost take off from Essendon. I shoved the birds back in the loft (rracing pigeons) grabbed the 400D and went round to the hanger.
The provost had just landed. No one was in the hanger, the door was unlocked...... So in I went.
WAS AWESOME. After about 100 pics the pilot came down from upstairs and I had a quick yak to him.
I did quick edits on the pics... larger versions I will work on and get some highlights cut back etc... Was just so excited I had to get sum processed lol

Anyway here are some of the shots I took.... (120pics)

Nice Harvard - is that VH-ZRO?

That hangar would be awesome for a night time light painting of it! so clean and plenty of space...

I like the Jet Provost, but the vignetting is definitely not needed :up:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

VH-HVD lol figure that out...
Yea not many like my excessive vignette lol

This hanger is spotless as are the planes.. usually an old Harvard that's often flown pisses oil everywhere...not this one and low hours too... was on eBay not long ago for $100k ... not bad really...ex RNZAF.

These planes are babied big time... almost everyday they take them out to the tarmac and let them sun lol then roll them back in as it gets dark...
