My own Global Power Mission 8th June 2015
Hi all a few photos from a very long Day at the fence RAF Fairford Yesterday.
Wanting to make good use of the low sun, I was happy the B52 crew turned up at 05:40

Loving seeing these photos from an exercise I can't get too, thanks for keeping us less fortunates updated with the pics
Re: My own Global Power Mission 8th June 2015
First one of the Buff pair is a beaut- not often you get 2 in one frame that close up!

Love the ground ops shots. Over the fence?
Despite the complaining going on about lower numbers, units and deployments there still is much to enjoy with you lot...

Re: My own Global Power Mission 8th June 2015
As everyone else has commented, a wonderful set. If only I could get B-52's "human clutterless" shots like this at RIAT!
Re: My own Global Power Mission 8th June 2015
Another master-class in 'luck-making'. Superbly pre-positioned (during a 20 hour mission) to yield the excellent diverse shots in this collection. Always playing the sun/angles like a one-string fiddle!! Good job well done.
