East Anglia Hat-Trick

Post by JonoUK »

Hi All,

A small selection from a big day of getting around East Anglia's big three and happy to have bagged something from each. Initial objective was to get the F-15D's departing Lakenheath and spend the rest of the day at Mildenhall. With the change of wind direction thought I opted to head to Marham on the hope that Pinky would up and about - and happily it was! not often a plan comes together but all the sweeter when it does.

Fantastic set of pics in great weather conditions too.

Couldn't help but think the No.5 main wheel in the first pic needs some attention! Might just be scrubbing a bit in the turn..... Hopefully!

Great pics.
