This is the third of our monthly ‘Highlights’ photo series and all the images you see here were taken by our photographers in May 2019.
It’s been another busy month for the GAR team and while some of the images we captured last month are destined for inclusion in full features, most of what you see here is not.
Rob Edgcumbe had another productive month in and around Paine Field and you can see some of the troubled 737 Max jets that are currently stored there, along with the new 777X and a variety of interesting, miscellaneous traffic. Rob has also included some images from a visit to Vancouver.

Paul Dunn was in South Africa and for the first time we have images from the V&A Waterfront Heliport in Cape Town, where he spent an enjoyable couple of hours watching the tour helicopters coming and going. What a great location!
