This is also beautiful - thank you!! I got shots of a purpleFlybe once which took us to France http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/add-ins/2014-07-08
En route home I similarly got my camera out and was heartily admonished and told I could not take photos!

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel how interesting that they stopped you taking photograph you see passengers taking shots all the time, had a look at your images the look brilliant:)

@pcoulson

It was a shame to eat purple-wrapped Flybe chocolates!.

Great capture :)

What a colourful aircraft. I am sure Hazel would love this one @quietpurplehaze as her private aircraft.

[Peter]

@gilbertwood Thank you so much Denise:)

@onewing Thank you Babs, its a little more purple than this image suggests see Hazel @quietpurplehaze link to her image its colour is more realistic:)

@pcoulson @onewing

Peter, I think the perceived difference is due to you having captured the other colours in the 'livery' i.e. Mine is 'pure purple'?!

Ugh, flew my share of flights on the Dash-8. Pilots love 'em I guess. For me it always translated to bumpy flight into crummy airport.

@stray_shooter Thank you Ron, know the feeling, have flown to many outlandish places when working in Britten Norman Islanders bit like a portacabin with wings had some very interesting flights, see link http://www.britten-norman.com/

@pcoulson That looks like another adventurous craft. Brings to mind the Beechcraft KingAirs that we took from Manchester into Wick up in Scotland during my time in the U.K. Winds whipping off the North Sea there often resulted in sideways landings. Great fun those small planes!
