Tornado Valley 19.05.16

Post by CH79 »

Hello,

Last Thursday (19.05.16) RAF Marham held their first evening shoot.

Despite a few cancellations and given the option to either attend or postpone the event, unanimously it went ahead with a good number of enthusiasts turning out for the occasion. Credit to the organisers; a solo Typhoon displayed just after arrival, 3 Tornado's were rolled out for the static, and a further 2 were active using the hot pit. A journey across the other side of the base was also put on to allow us to see poor old Granby in the hanger.

Weather varied from being incredibly flat light to chucking it down with rain - all in the fun :)
