Bruntingthorpe 2013 is today's trip. It was the twilight run, But I was there all day as I had delivered, some items to our fellow Victor team.

I always have my night Light with me on airfields, so was able to get these two shots.

2016 and on the 12th I was also at Brunty, but as my pictures are similar to those posted I haven't posted mine.

Then the morning after on the 13th I was up nice and early for trip to Heathrow as my friend had hired the Fuji 100-400 for the weekend and wanted to try it out (he must have been impressed as he ended up purchasing one):

In 2012 I was at Waddington. The base we had intended to visit was night flying so this was a good plan B.

Image


Image


Image


Image

The F-16 had flown direct from their home base and returned to it. The reason they were over here I think was they used our ranges? note the soot over the gun area, looking like recent firing.

Warton 2009 was a very busy day.

Image


Image

Note 2 LGB on board.
Image


Image

This one had 4.
Image


Image

One bomb missing so clearly a dropping trial.
Image


Image

Then a Tiff on its maiden flight. It was also the last built in 2009.
Image


Image


Image


Image


Image

MR4
Image

This T2 features a new nose and port wing fence.

Image

This one returned with all its bombs still onboard.
