Great images! Especially the last one. Nice to see them in the air, unlike the ones at Kandahar.
Peep show quote is quality also.

Cheers

Well they're OK I guess but I feel some people are going a little over the top. :grin:

Seriously nice stuff Tony, air to airs and the night ramp runner :clap:

Hi Tony, incredible set of shots, I like a lot especially the Air to Air images and of course the last one.
I'm sure that the experience in Afghanistan was very impressive.

Missed these originally Tony, just caught them in POTW.

A fantastic set of pictures and another vote for the nightshot....blonde question approaching....presumably they are lights on the rotor tips that I've never noticed?, but what are their purpose, warning the ground crew of the spinning rotors?, presumably not nav lights as they are both green.

Great pictures :clap:

Why wait for next year, it kind of fits with the upcoming nightshoot theme :heyhey:

Cor blimey and all that jazz! These are something else. I almost missed this thinking it was the topic resurfaced from last year, but thankfully noticed the date of posting

Well done Tony, although most of your shots are top drawer. The last one is perfect with the moon and everything :worship: :pinkwafer:

Priveleged to see these shots of the Military and their Ospreys in action , the subject matter and the photography are excellent, the internal shot looking out over the rear ramp is terrific - thanks for sharing Tony.
How does the vibration compare for photography purposes with conventional rotary wing jobs?

Have you ever taken a better set of photographs Tony? All excellent, but the banking, forward angle shot (6) is the pick for me. Al in all :clap:
