Saved My Bacon Danish Lynx's NWI

Was in a field in Cambridgeshire when received a text to say these had just landed,half expected to miss them altogether but they had decided to nightstop at Norwich,thankfully because the following day they had left before I had finished work. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4284/35497697210_aed0d94...

Re: Mustang crash lands Duxford

From source near to spot of force landing. Gear was down at point of initial impact and then ripped off.
Credit to the pilot with regards to decision making and airmanship. Best wishes to him.

Tried to second guess the Stinger F.16's,thought I'd spend some time at the Hall Monday afternoon just on the off chance of a diversion,however a heads up that they were expecting a Qatar C-130J in Cambridge, brought about a quick change of plan. Arrived at the Hall just in time. I Know it's not a H...

Re: Oui a Nice Evening at Cambridge Rafale 4-GL

Thanks for the comments folks. Sadly I've had the joys of 6 busy solid night shifts over the weekend, and these are Kevin's shots.
Sadly with the demand at work, I don't get out enough to play with the camera.

Regards
