1st July
Thirty years ago, on the 1st of July 1990, the Steam Packet ship 'Channel Entente' brought me to the Isle of Man as an incomer to start a new job in Air Traffic Control at Ronaldsway Airport.  I didn't know that much about the island then, so it was all a bit of an adventure, but I've now lived in this country longer than any other and never regretted the move.  For the first month I lived in a hotel in Port Erin, before moving to our house in Onchan and the following pictures were taken during that first year.  I'd never heard of the Internet or World Wide Web when I moved here, although the WWW was invented in that year, but eight years later digital photography entered my life and I took the first steps that resulted in the present Island Images website, hopefully to continue for a few more years yet.

Aerial pictures of the Isle of Man's Airport at Ronaldsway
 
Regular site visitors will have seen the aerial photos taken around Ronaldsway while the airport was closed for extended time periods during April, May and the start of June.  All the drone flights were conducted in accordance with permissions and agreed procedures from the IOM CAA and ATC.  I also took the opportunity to turn the camera towards the airport and have produced a separate gallery of Ronaldsway pictures together with some information showing a bit of the history of the airport and how it has grown since it opened in 1933.

 8th July
It's very useful being able to view data from the IOM Met Office's anemometer on Snaefell Summit when planning a tip to the top.  Yesterday the conditions
looked like they might be suitable for some aerial photography so I set off with the little DJI Spark drone in my rucksack.
