Recce Meet - Mont de Marsan 10.04.14

Hello,

Had a wonderful couple of days in South of France to bid farewell to the Mirage F1. Was great to see the other participants too, such as the Greek Phantom . Good to see a large turn out from the UK!

That Phantom looks the business! And the last photo with the moon, very atmospheric.

RF-4E leaving the shelters is superb. What a fantastic looking machine.

Nice to see the ex German Air Force Rhino in originaly colours
With the F1 another classic fighter will disapear

Not one to be picky, but the camo on the ex German RF-4E is not their original scheme, they did where that in Luftwaffe service but the original scheme was a dark green/dark grey large splinter type pattern with, if my memory is correct, bare metal or light grey underside, lovely pics though!

Numbers 9 & 11 for me, classic jet rock & roll.
Good to see the HAF-guys getting some gas to show up, EU tax money well spent
