Second shot of the twinstick with the Slime lights and red glow is a personal favourite out of another quality set :worship:

A different look at the Coningsby scene- the dusk/evening images are really good Nigel.

Nice set with a variety of atmospheres! Image #2 has a very nice aura about it, and I love #13 and the Chippie.

Impressive images, the light in # 3 & 4 is a standout.

Stunning shots, Nigel - #8 would be my pick of the bunch.

Gotta say that the BBMF Chippie looks grand in the new colours too. Vastly superior to the black scheme.

Stunning Nigel, the set-up is just right. Favourite has to be that last shot, the amount of dirt and grime on the jet is insane.

And there I was hoping at least one of my shots from Valley would be a contender for POTW, your photos blow mine out of the sky! :clap:

Super set mate, and thanks for your company there it was a good day out. My favourites are the strobing 6 squadron head ons, but knowing how quickly you had to react to get the night shots set up they are equally as impressive!

Hi Nigel

What a stunning set of images, they are all superb, but No 2 is very special indeed.

Thanks for sharing,

Many thanks again for the comments.
Indeed it was a good day Craig, another "spur of the moment" decision that paid-off handsomely!
