Where do you start with those?! The pair of Chinooks and the waterbomber at low level are superb! :clap:

Great set hard to pick one out. The water bomber on the water just great. Nice to see a Gazelle about still.

:clap: It must be great to be able to take pictures like those, they are excellent. The Indian Merlin and the Beechcraft Avenger are very unusual.

Thanks for the comments all
Stu they were taken on a normal Day with the exception of the 2 ramp shots which were taken on base

The base was open for a few hours for the 1st time ever I believe and the Day which had so much potential turned into a so near but so far Day
1 arrived and 1 departed and they woudnt let us on base till all the activity had finished!

It's about your time of the year again Rich, odd one out Spanish... and a welcome subject.
'Almost' had my share of Croatian CL's, missed them by a few hours on the day leaving the country after a 2-week family holiday.

But hey... you can always come back. Like SPTA: still on the list!
