If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Re: April 2018 Photo of the Month Competition
After also bagging the C17 over Thirlmere with Starbug, I thought it worthy to leave just the one image from that day in the competition.
So I've opted for a shot, from another of our mad dashes and gone for the "rarer than hens teeth" Royal Australian Navy SH-60 SeaHawk above Poison Lake (LFA7) and against a very gloomy misty Snowdonia range transitting from Brize Norton to Prestwick for JW18 - image from 19/04/18.
