Thanks Terry,

Think it's the first time I have seen G-MYOO fly, only seen it on your on base pictures. Shame it was cloudy, love to get it flying in blue sky.

Very nice set of extremely sharp pictures, particularly the glider and G-NONE taken today. Can't imagine how you can keep an 800mm lens that still. Brilliant work.

[FastJetsBest]

It's ok if I do short bursts. I am getting used to holding it for longer periods. Look forward to testing it out at an airshow. Not looking forward to logging it around all day

[FastJetsBest]

As everything was deleted, thought I would re post. As I said before, was a pretty good day, nice weather, lots of Moths. The Hanger is full of gems.

Great shots here,but am I missing a trick here ....confused .com

[FastJetsBest]

cheers Jonny, yes, for some reason the post and all the comments got wiped. Same with many other peoples post. Went back to the 9th of April. Also confused.

[farnboroughrob]

More great shots, those navy Dauphins are very rare outside the West Country. There was a F-OKAB BN2 showing on plane plotter over that area earlier could be a return to the factory , or a spurious plot of course?

[FastJetsBest]

F-OKAB took off yesterday, never came back. Think it's been delivered now. Navy Dauphins seem to pop into Lee every few weeks. Drop or pick someone up?
