Well done lads,
A merry Christmas to you both ,

Yes yes, just send money. 
Seriously, thanks for the sentiment but I think MOTF would agree with me that we're only capturing moments and its the guys maintaining and flying the aircraft that deserve the thanks because without them we'd be stuck taking pictures of blank patches of sky.
Stampe - I'm sure we can arrange something, PM me.

Aww shucks chaps
I totally concur with DB without the aircraft and the chaps who fly them, we'd be pretty bored.
I personally would like to thank DB for his help and encouragement this year and Airbedane, Hairyplane and all at Old Warden for the stunning hospitality
Stampe, just whistle and I'll be there.
Thanks for all your kind words.

Fully endorse the sentiments, first class photos chasps!
I find it amazing that you know the exact position to be in at different airfields/airports, the timing is always perfect and more often the weather is too..........and then to share them with us is the icing on the cake
As this one is on Damiens doorstep, there is a balloon fest in Northants at some unearthly hour each year, any chance you could spread a little of your expertise on these unusual shaped beasts.
Thanks again and a Happy Christmas to all

Yes, I'll add my thanks as well for your outstanding work Damien. Good one, long may you (and Cathy of course ) continue.
Damien and his long one. . .
MotF , haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet but I hope to one of these days.

Ooooooh! Hasn't he got a big'un, Jools? And what bonar exposures he does. Don't you just love taking a vader at 'em Mr 'Orne.
<Jools 'n' Sandy mode off>
Heartily endorse all of the previous messages. Sterling work, chaps. Sincere thanks for all your time and trouble (including all the 'post-production' toil in Photoshop - I know how much care you have to take to put in to turn a batch of bits 'n' bytes into proper, genuine colours and tones which reflect the real thing).
Hope to meet you both in 04 (and get one of you to explain what all the mysterious knobs, dials and slidey thingeys on my TLR Rolleiflex Tele-rollei are meant to do).
Again, thanks for all.
(PS Damien - I have not forgot my promise to you earlier in year about snaps of Treble-one's Lightnings at Farnborough. Haven't had a moment since Dubya hit Iraq in March. Hope things will improve in 04 - soon!)

I don't know how these guys do it, but I'm glad they do.
As a result I've got some super pics this year of our Chippy and my other favorite aeroplane - Concorde.
I raise a glass in appreciation and thanks, chaps. Cheers

Agree with all of the above. Damien's shots of Concorde's final few weeks in particular have given me a huge amount of pleasure. Many thanks to both of you guys, have a great Christmas.

As a fellow photographer who has been taking aviation photos for a number of years now I can only add to what folks have said thusfar on this thread. You have both provided us with some of the finest images that I have seen anywhere in recent times.
The praise levelled at you is no more than is deserved, and I know how good it feels to get such praise from my days as a regular picture poster on the Flypast forum.
Good work , keep it up and hopefully we can all meet up at OW next year.
I like the idea of posting self/ portraits, perhaps we should all do it so as to make recognition and approach much easier.

Echo all the sentiments chaps! Keep them up - er, the supa-long lenses that is!
Thanks for bringing to life so many of this year's events, and hope to see you gain, Damien, at OW or Duxford, and meet you at the same locations MoTF.

PS: Philo, a rogue's gallery? You DO have scary ideas!
