Hi again everyone,
Had some time to properly go through the days images,
I thoroughly enjoyed myself this afternoon and was rellieved that
I hadent missed much when I arrived at about 1pm.
Quite a busy afternoon by all acounts and some very nice aircraft made an apearance.
Was good to meet a few new faces on the fence and the weather was lovely, heat blur was an issue though.
perfect time to try out my new bigmOS lens!
Think Im finally getting to grips with Lightroom aswell.
C&C welcome, hope you enjoy my efforts.
1. First thing to move as I arrived was this rather fetching Falcon.

3. Then we were treated to a two ship chinook visit.

5. A three ship hawk formation then returned.

Wow how sharp are these?! The new kit was worth the money!
You didn't miss too much but I got there 07:30 and there was already Hawks out!

Nice set JP looks good to

A really nice set of photos Dave, I do like the second from last shot of the taxi-ing Cobham Falcon.
I was thinking of making the short trip up to VL but I can see parking being a bit of a problem though, any suggestions Dave.

Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Lovely! Would have loved to have seen the Greyhounds head north, perhaps they might pop into Prestwick at some point during their deployment.
Posting comments on an aviation-related chatroom, are ya? Looks like it an' all...
