2015 Round Up (It's A Big One)
2015 Round Up (It's A Big One)
Getting in there early as I doubt I'll be shooting anything before the new year now..
Another interesting year, albeit not quite reaching the fun I had in 2014 and a few pushed back plans means it was the year I wanted it to be. Still, I can't complain too much as I've had great fun shooting what I have done! There are a couple of GA shots but thought it was easier than splitting the post for the sake of two shots, hope thats ok?
Hopefully not too boring if you make it until the end..
1. My first visit down to Culdrose, sadly a few issues got in the way for what was planned meaning I had to return in November.

22. I was then offered a job out in Monastir, Tunisia, shooting for FLYER magazine and covering the North Africa debut of Air Race One. I was a little anxious about going out, rightly so as it was sadly proved a few weeks after. It was incredibly difficult out there, the best pylons were paddy fields and the heat haze was unreal.

23. I was incredibly privileged to visit 771 NAS again halfway through the year, as usual they were the most excellent of hosts over my two days there managing to fly me on both days.

What an excellent set.
Particularly fond of the Brize images, for selfish purposes.

Seems 71 are still busy, as they launched on a call-out about 30 minutes ago.
