Those shots look absolutely arctic. Sure you were at Ronaldsway!

Great to see you have now mastered posting images on the site. Really fantastic to see photo coverage from the Isle of Man on nwan forum - a place woefully under-recorded, ever since I became a north-west based enthusiast near 50 years ago. I really look forward to regular contributions from the Island. Many thanks for your efforts so far dkelly.

Hello 'dkelly'.

Great to see some shots from Ronaldsway, i spent quite a bit of time on the Island between 1997 and 2006 when i worked for Emerald. Is there much happening at Jurby and Andreas these days?

Cheers

Shaun

Unfortunatly Jurby is not used at all, however there are a couple I aircraft stored there I think. Andreas is still quite busy with a reasonable sized Glider Club flying at weekends. TT week is still busy at Andreas as every year they host a fly-in.

I agree nice to see another "Local NW" airfield. Would be nice to add JURBY and Andreas pics if the chance arrives. Thanks DK.
