Cracking shots. What was the reason for the visit - organised tour?

Thanks for all the comments so far. I've edited a few more for your enjoyment. I've tried to stay away from the usual Lakenheath angles for something a bit different (except the tonka again!)

Thanks. Haven't been on one for a few years now, didn't realise they allow you up the tower now.
