Hopefully this is the right area for these shots as there wasn't one that fitted all.
On the 7th May, I was fortunate enough to be part of a 4 man group, who via the Centre of Aviation Photography, were granted access to a heritage event/charity photoshoot at RAF Lakenheath. In attendance at the event were Republic P-47D Thunderbolt G-THUN 'Nellie', Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vc EE602, F-15C Eagle 86-165 493rd Fighter Squadron (Grim Reapers) and F-15E Strike Eagle 01-2002 494th Fighter Squadron (Panthers).
P-47D Thunderbolt 'Nellie', wearing its freshly painted wartime 492d Fighter Squadron (FS) markings, was of particular interest at the event to the personnel of the present day 492 FS at Lakenheath. This was the aircraft's first event since returning to the UK in April this year.
Supermarine Spitfire EE602 was also of particular interest at the event as it has the claim to fame of escorting B-17F Memphis Belle on its 25th and final mission during WWII.
Personnel and their families from the 492d FS posed together in front of the American aircraft for their group photo, in a more relaxed informal style than that more commonly seen.

Re: RAF Lakenheath Heritage Day 7 May 18
Nice shots from a 'private party' event. Timing on the airborne girlie in shot 20 is spot-on! Would've liked to see an F-15 'Heritage Flybyesque' shot with the WWW2 a/c, but maybe that's for a later Public Event?
Re: RAF Lakenheath Heritage Day 7 May 18
Nice shots Steve!

Missed this - great shots bud.
Obvs the P-47 was the star, but I actually love the low-down Eagle shots. Really nice and relatively (RBFs notwithstanding) clean images.

Thanks mate. The blue on them look a bit intense on my phone but fine on my PC monitor and laptop. Do they look alright to you, or anyone for that matter?

I would say the blue on images 15-18 is a little too intense, but all the others look fine
