Re: 'Spicy 51 Flight' - 16th June 2023 - Dawn Departure

Can't knock your enthusiasm Stu. I thought people going to night shoots were crazy! Impresses me how sharp they appear at 1/250 in that light. Great afterburner effects. Thanks Paul. Yeah the wife thought I was crazy as well, when I said I was leaving at 3am. As for shooting it was the most difficu...

Great shots. I didn’t pack a ladder big enough to go down to the fence so I was up on the mound, but your shot is very nice, I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks mate & as for the Midas, I was along way down the fence, so It was a case of a mad dash to the corner leaving my ladder & shoo...

Midas & the Dragon Lady - 27th March 2023

Seeing as it was a nice sunny day yesterday & the chance of catching the Indian AF IL-78MKI Midas departing RAF Mildenhall to take home the Mirage 2000's was too good a chance to miss. An early start was in order to catch it's mid morning departure, after many delays with ATC & missing slot ...

Lake District (LFA17) - 24th March

Time was running out for me in catching the 493rd FS with there F-15C’s at Low-Level, sixteen years I've been climbing hills & they've always eluded me. But last Thursday in the Lakes it finally came to fruition. Also had the added bonus of the 'Valkyries' & 'Rocketeers' joining the party......

Superb, nice to see a good study of the Reapers half of the special jet, and the noseart is a nice addition on the other side. I don’t know how you get such good ground shots at Lakenheath, every time I try I bin them all because of heat haze. As for the taxi shots it was a bitterly cold day with a...

Very jealous of the WC-135 as you know, but they’re all superb shots. I especially love the close-up ground photos, there’s so much detail to admire.

I assume those close-ups are from Folly Rd up a big ladder?
Thanks mate, Yes from Folly Road on tall steps.
