A few shots from earlier in the week. I feel I didn't make the most of the light though, and I'm still finding the 50D a bit hit and miss.
Regardless, it was a terrific day weather and activity wise, spent in the pleasant company of StevieB, sebcoe and Stu. Thanks to StevieB for the loan of a lens too, very kind.

Re: RAF Lakenheath 29th December
Hi Dan,
I thought that you'd be there as well. I'm glad you put a pic up of the approach of 84-0027 and the unusual sheen the darker grey shows, especially on the fin. I thought it might have been just my pics but yours is identical. It's unusual as the other 493rd jets on the day didn't do that, including the next jet in the flight just a few seconds behind. Looking through my archives I notice that jet has done the same under similar light conditions previously. Being the units flagship I just wonder if it's cleaned or treated slightly differently to the rest of the 493rd's jets. It's usually cleaner than most and unlike some of the others it always keeps it's victory stars.
