A few Tails from Mid-Wales

Post by Timc »

Went up into the Loop yesterday and it was bitterly cold coupled with a north westerly wind blowing it certainly increased the chill factor.

The day will be remembered for the Special Tails that came through during the course of the day and the rather surreal tail chase to end the trip.

Anyway, I've just about thawed out now!

Excellent shots. 8 is a beauty. I'd love to know how the tail chase came about! Extreme roulette! Red or black!!

As per the others, 5 & 8 for me, mate. Top stuff. Looks like you were lucky with all the special stuff through, particularly the 31Sqn tail. I really want to catch that Tonka!

Worth staying out in the cold for, I think! :up: :up:
