March may had been mad but April was out right mental at RAF Lakenheath with the surprise arrival of 12 F-22A Raptors. In combination with the presidential movements at Mildenhall it made for one of my favourite months in this hobby. Good to catch up with all of the familiar faces and new that I met during these weeks. I tried to cover as many of the angles as I could with the raptors, here's what I caught along with some other movements.
