Love the ground shots from inside the base. I'd love to get back to that spot again with a DSLR, I've not been on a tour since I was shooting snaps on film without a clue.

Shame that there's not good places to get taxiing pics outside at Lakenheath without needing a huge lens or having to shoot through the fence, which is a skill I cannot master.

Very nice shots. Was you inside the base? :lol: if not then what kit was you using? I was there 2 weeks ago and couldn't dream of getting those results with my 300mm lense :drool:

Thanks Simon

Stunning set of images.
No 17 with the crew looking into camera is quite special..........

Not spent much time on the forums Stu so just seen these. Some belters in here and a joy to see as always. Snow as well.

Take care and hope to catch up properly soon.

Best wishes 'family' wide, Ian
