Talk about leaving it late. I hadn’t managed to get to Fairford for the Bomber Deployment until Friday night, there last day of operations before departing for home on Saturday.
Was only expecting ‘LEMAY 53/54’ to return but had the added bonus of ‘BALOO 51/52’ also return due to Tanker issues and a hatch light warning issue on ‘BALOO 52’.
It was truly epic conditions on there return. Don’t think I’ve shot in better light ever.
