Welcome
Hello and welcome, my name is Shane Peet. I live in the north west of England. My photography is taken at Manchester Airport (EGCC-MAN) and over the top of my house. I am planning to take a trip to Liverpool Airport some time to see what its like.
Most people love aviation from a young age but when I was younger it never interested me. I flew with First Choice and Thomas Cook before being interested in aviation. It all started in year 8 of high school with my friend showing me pictures of aircraft he had flew on (I knew nothing about them). Once I started to take interest in the pictures he started to teach me some basic things about them. Not long after I started to spend all my time looking at aircraft, making power points about them reading about them I just loved it. One day I found the flight tracker Flightradar24, this helped me a lot because I could find new aircraft I have never seen before. Not long after I joined the Flightradar24 chat, this is where I learnt most of what I know now about aviation. The first day I joined a gentleman called Ric Loek greeted me, he ended up teaching me quite a bit about aviation. |

In 2012 I decided the visited the aviation viewing park at Manchester for the first time, the TAS festival was on. I took a small disposable camera, I got a picture of an Atlas Air 747-400 what i was very happy with. In December 2012 I bought a Cannon power shot A4000. I first visited the airport with it in January 2013 where I got my first MD-11 picture. I then decided to make my facebook group Manchester Airport pics and info what has grow a lot, i only expected to get no more then 100 members. Next I wanted a picture of an MD-80 (one of my favourite aircraft) so the next two times I visited with the camera I got two SAS MD-80s, SE-DIR and OY-KHN. As you can expect this camera did not have the best results so in December 2013 I invested in a Sony HX300 bridge camera 50x and 20.1 mega pixels. This is what I use now. I have since got pictures of most aircraft again but with much better quality, one of my favourite was some pictures of a Lufthansa Cargo MD-11F D-ALCG. So here I am now 2014 with a Sony HX300 loving aviation like you!
