Hi all.
A photo review of my Year.
I promised myself to do much more low level in 2013, so January the 15th was the 1st visit
In February I visited Merryfield
Deptford Down in march
A weeks holiday in April to Wittmund to try and get some F4 action before the end later in the Year
Returning home with a few hours on Everleigh DZ
A couple months gap to the Annual Yeovilton Airday
I was happy to catch the Czech Gripen and its nicely painted canards on departure Day
Saving my holiday for later in the Year I only visited RIAT on the Thursday but was really happy to catch the special F1
A visit to Salisbury Plain on the way to Coningsby for the Saudis late August.
I was just as happy to see the Gr4s
In September I visited the Czech Republic for the 1st time.
A small show at Hradec Kralove but the few bits there and the weather made for a great Weekend.
When the news of a spotters Day at Albacete came to light on the forums I booked time off to go.
Always wanted to go to san Javier so I spent the Day there before the TLP
Spanish sea king was 1 of the external assets of that TLP
As well as a Italian Pelican
Spanish Elint Casa212 on the approach to Albacete
The Spanish visit ended with a few hours at Alcantarilla.
The parachute training school operates from there and a grass strip alongside the airfield for practice landings.
This Chinook was Para dropping during the Evening.
I never get bored of seeing this red gazelle
Photo taken on Deptford Down during a training sortie out of Boscombe Down
in November.
Lastly another Wildcat on Deptford during November
Merry Christmas Everyone and here's to 2014!
Cheers Rich

Wonderful pictures from a great photographer, the F-4Fs are the pick for me from a top notch set.

Nice ones mate, loving the snowy Bwlch ones...
Re: My Favourites of 2013
Snowy Bwlch shots are superb Rich, as is the Mirage 2000!
Re: My Favourites of 2013
Great range of stuff, but love the Wildcats and the Su-27UB.
Do you want the Aladeen news or the Aladeen news?

Great set. Plenty of variety. Nice to see Yeovilton (local) stuff but great post. Must do Wales and SPTA sometime

Great set Rich but loving that Spanish Sea King myself!
Re: My Favourites of 2013
Lovely selection Rich, the first two from the Czech show and the final two images from the Plain stand out for me. That Spanish Chinook is a bit special too!

Hi Rich, an excellent selection again. Love the Tornado over the white landscape and the Flanker is my favorite
