Très bas et très rapide des Mirages français
Very low and very fast French Mirages.... in the Mach loop yesterday, my chin hit the ground and bounced when these came around the corner!

You nailed them!

Re: Très faible et très rapide des Mirages français
Bloody marvellous!
Re: Très faible et très rapide des Mirages français
These are amazing shots
Is this the pair from RIAT? By the looks of the numbers on the nose it is. Wonder if they nipped off for a play after leaving Fairford yesterday before heading home?

Re: Très faible et très rapide des Mirages français
Many thanks all, Yes Chris it is the RIAT aircraft, they headed to Wales after departing Fairford, gave us 2 pretty astonishing passes and then headed home!
Re: Très faible et très rapide des Mirages français
C'est magnifique!
Re: Très faible et très rapide des Mirages français
Nice catch like No7
Re: Très faible et très rapide des Mirages français
Awesome! I'm not surprised that flew Low the the first one out of Fairford stayed very low before pulling up!

Great captures as always Nigel. Right place, right time. Did you got to the Loop with the possibility of some traffic coming through from Fairford?

With the slight possibility of RIAT departures going the scenic route home I went Sunday night to ensure I didn't oversleep!!
Many thanks again for the comments!
Re: Très faible et très rapide des Mirages français
From listening to delivery yesterday I heard them mention this.I knew someone would get some very special shots.
Re: Très faible et très rapide des Mirages français

Re: Très faible et très rapide des Mirages français
Nice catch Nigel, congrats.
Just one thing, if I may: very fast and very low can be translated into: Très bas et très rapide.
"Faible" is synonymous of "weak", or "poor".
So low in quality, but not low in altitude
Kind regards,
Frank

I have no problem with that at all, there were several muttered at the time as well, another "Tourette's moment" on the hills for sure!
