RAF Henlow - Grob 109's

Post by viper28 »

Never know what section to stick the ATC Grob's in... Anyway spent a couple of hours hanging out the bedroom window this afternoon taking a few of them in the winter light.

They certainly arn't fast but they do help tune the technique and help to keep you eye in during the winter months.

As normal all C&C welcome

"Modern Military" - surely? Afterall - they're a damn sight more modern than most of the UK's Forces -C-130K, VC-10, Nimrod, Puma, Sea King, Tristar - but to name a few!

Number 7 is nice :clap:

Thats outragous, these are powerhouse compared to a G103 just one step down from a Typhoon... who am I kidding, there slow and ugly but they are just outside the window :biggrin:
