MikeB's Return

Post by MikeB »

Having not been on here for over a year and seeing as even Dunk is back :grin: I thought I'd start taking a look again and posting.

Here's a few images from what i've been up to during the absent period...

I like the Atlas too, but the nightshot of the U-2 and the Chinook in the sunset are also excellent. :clap:

I've seen a couple of shots at that angle of the B2... just wondering when that was taken? Was this something that FRIAT member had access to?

Cheers

As I also have this shot for me it was being in the right place at the right time before everyone started asking on show days.

It was taken from RIAT's cherry picker, as far as I know there's no arrangement to let FRIAT or public up there but maybe one of the RIAT guys could clarify! I think one of the media guys took a few of the publics cameras up with him? But not sure.

The cherry picker is intended for use by representatives of the media and isn't available for FRIAT or the general public.
