Two Thursdays ago saw (what I believe to be) the first of quarterly enthusiast base tours at RAF Lakenheath.
UKAR were lucky enough to be invited to the inaugural tour and I attended.
The plan for the tour was an afternoon/evening visit intending to capture afternoon ops of the 56th RQS then move to last chance to capture Eagle operations at Dusk/After Dark.
The weather put pay to that and the awful conditions resulted in the afternoon/evening Eagle missions being scrubbed. The light was extremely poor ruining the photo opportunities with the Jollies. Recognising this the PAO very quickly arranged us permission to visit the F-15C HAS complex as it went dark.
This was intended to be a full UKAR feature report on the base visit however the weather prevented decent photographic content being produced in sufficient volume to support it. However I thought it a shame for the decent shots from the visit not to be seen though.
I hope these shots are of interest, and Merry Christmas to you all.
